IMPORTANCE: Alopecia areata is associated with diverse systemic and psychiatric diseases. However, whether all-cause and cause-specific mortality in patients with alopecia areata differs from that of the general population remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk in patients with alopecia areata.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Using the National Health Insurance Service database and National Death Registry of Korea, a retrospective cohort study of participants identified in 2006, with investigation of mortality until 2016, was carried out. Patients with alopecia areata with at least 3 documented visits to a dermatologist with an International Statistical Classification of Diseases (tenth revision) code of L63 during 2002 to 2006 were included. For comparison, 1:10 age- and sex-matched controls without documented visits with a code of L63 until 2016 were included.
EXPOSURES: Patients with alopecia areata and controls without alopecia areata.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The study population was followed from January 1, 2007, for a period of 10 years to estimate all- and cause-specific mortality.
RESULTS: The study comprised 73 107 patients with alopecia areata and 731 070 age- and sex-matched controls. Of these, 6023 were patients with alopecia totalis/universalis. No differences in all-cause mortality risk between the cohorts were found (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.87-1.09). However, mortality associated with intentional self-harm/psychiatric diseases was greater in patients than in participants in the control group (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.41). Adult patients aged 35 years or younger (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.32-2.12) and those with alopecia totalis/universalis (HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.25-2.75) were particularly affected. Mortality associated with lung cancer was greater in patients with alopecia totalis/universalis (HR, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.41-3.33). However, mortality associated with diabetes mellitus was significantly lower in patients with alopecia areata (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36-0.79).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Patients with alopecia areata have a higher risk of mortality associated with self-harm, psychiatric diseases, and smoking-associated malignant diseases including lung cancer. For better outcomes, clinicians should appropriately treat patients to ensure emotional and psychological well-being.
