Key clinical point: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection was associated with an increased prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), whereas HPV immunization lowered RA prevalence in adults aged 18-59 years.
Major finding: A significant association was observed between HPV infection and increased prevalence of RA (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.074; 95% CI 1.071-1.076), whereas HPV immunization was associated with a significantly reduced RA prevalence (aOR 0.477; 95% CI 0.472-0.481).
Study details: Findings are from a population-based cohort study including adults age 18-59 years with complete data on HPV infection and history of RA (n = 15,677) and those with complete data on HPV vaccination and history of RA (n = 8944).
