- Autoimmune diseases are associated with an increased risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
- The study included 3,824,528 participants, with 15.9% having a record of autoimmune diseases.
- 608,043 participants had autoimmune diseases, and 10,311 were diagnosed with SAH during the study.
- Overall, autoimmune diseases increased the risk of SAH (HR = 1.18; 95% CI 1.11-1.25).
- Specific autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus showed higher risks of SAH.
- The study suggests autoimmune diseases may play a role in SAH etiology, informing future prevention strategies.
- Limitations include reliance on register-based diagnoses and lack of detailed lifestyle information.
