Brief Summary

This study examines melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer in people diagnosed with vitiligo compared to matched controls.

Detailed Description

For the primary analysis, this study examines the risk of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers: squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma in people diagnosed with vitiligo. It also examines actinic keratoses. In secondary analysis, this study examines the prevalence of skin cancer in people diagnosed with vitiligo compared to matched controls.

This study also examines whether the susceptibility to melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer may vary between different patient subgroups, e.g. ethnicity, those who undergo phototherapy or treatment with the new targeted biologic immunosuppressive therapies.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
75771
Inclusion Criteria
  • All eligible adult patients (aged ≥ 18) registered with General Practioner (GP) practices contributing data to OPCRD between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2020, were eligible for inclusion in the study. People diagnosed with vitiligo prior to the study period (prevalent vitiligo) and people newly diagnosed with vitiligo during the study period (incident vitiligo) are included as cases.
Exclusion Criteria
  • People actively registered with the GP practice at that date without a history of vitiligo require a minimum one-year registration with their GP practice.
