About the study In the present study, researchers investigated whether the risk of autoimmune diseases increased after SARS-CoV-2 infection. People infected with SARS-CoV-2 in 2020 and controls were followed up for up to 15 months until June 30, 2021. Individuals with a polymerase chain reaction -confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the COVID-19 cohort. Individuals without a lab-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 were excluded.

After exclusions, 641,407 individuals with COVID-19 were matched to more than 1.56 million controls. Most individuals had three matched controls, while some patients had two or one. In the COVID-19 cohort, 11.9% of individuals had a pre-existing autoimmune disease before COVID-19.
The most prevalent incident autoimmune diseases in the COVID-19 cohort were Hashimoto thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren syndrome. The highest incidence rate ratios were for Wegner’s disease, Behcet’s syndrome, sarcoidosis, and arteritis temporalis.
