Summary: Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin disorder and is well known to be associated with other atopic conditions. There is increasing evidence for an association also with nonatopic conditions, including autoimmune diseases, but data are limited about several autoimmune diagnoses. Objectives: To investigate the association between AD and autoimmune diseases. Methods: This case–control study used Swedish national healthcare registers. The source population comprised the entire Swedish population aged ≥ 15 years from 1968 to 2016. Cases, including all those with an inpatient diagnosis of AD (from 1968) and/or a specialist outpatient diagnosis of AD (from 2001), were matched by sex and age to healthy controls (104 832 cases of AD, 1 022 435 controls). Results: AD was significantly associated with one or more autoimmune diseases compared with controls – adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1·97, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·93–2·01 – and this association was significantly stronger in the presence of multiple autoimmune diseases compared with only one. The association was strongest for autoimmune disorders involving the skin (aOR 3·10, 95% CI 3·02–3·18), the gastrointestinal tract (aOR 1·75, 95% CI 1·69–1·82) or connective tissue (aOR 1·50, 95% CI 1·42–1·58). In the overall analysis, men with AD had a stronger association with rheumatoid arthritis and coeliac disease than did women with AD. In subanalyses, the findings remained stable in multivariable analyses after adjustment for smoking and parental autoimmune disease. Conclusions: This large population‐based study indicates significant autoimmune comorbidity of adults with AD, especially between AD and autoimmune dermatological, gastrointestinal and rheumatological diseases. Having multiple autoimmune diseases resulted in a stronger association with AD than having only one autoimmune disease. What is already known about this topic? Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases.Some studies have shown that AD is associated with some autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, coeliac disease, alopecia areata and vitiligo, but data are limited for several major autoimmune diagnoses. What does this study add? In this study, AD was associated with several autoimmune diseases, especially those involving the skin, the gastrointestinal tract or connective tissue.The association was stronger for individuals with multiple autoimmune comorbidities.
