Acute cystitis and subsequent risk of urogenital cancer: a national cohort study from Sweden.

A Swedish nationwide cohort study was conducted that included primary healthcare data. The total population consisted of 1 668 371 men and 1 889 211 women; of these, 177 736 men and 427 821 women were diagnosed with acute cystitis (first event) during 1997-2018 (91.3% in primary healthcare settings). The outcome was urogenital cancer in men and women with cystitis compared with the total population, measured as standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) and excess rates per 10 000 person-years.

Results
