Risk of Cutaneous and Genital Warts in Organ and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Solid organ transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are known risk factors for viral warts. However, large-scale studies on the association between transplantation and the risk of cutaneous and genital warts are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between transplantation and the risk of developing cutaneous and genital warts using a nationwide claims database.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance Claims Database. The incidence of cutaneous and genital warts in transplant recipients was compared to that in the control population using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated
