Fibromyalgia (FM) tends to coexist with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This retrospective cohort study was conducted to determine the bidirectional association between FM and GERD, using a nationwide database, the National Health Insurance of Taiwan. We established 2 study arms, including 35,117 patients with FM in arm 1 and 34,630 patients with GERD in arm 2, newly diagnosed between 2000 and 2010. For each study arm, we randomly selected 4-fold subjects with neither FM nor GERD from the same database, frequency matched by sex, age, and diagnosis date, as the respective control cohorts. Incidence of GERD in arm 1 and incidence of FM in arm 2 were estimated by the end of 2011. The overall incidence of GERD was 1.6-fold greater in the FM cohort than in the non-FM cohort (12.0 and 7.61 per 1000 person-years, crude hazard ratio [HR] = 1.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.51-1.66), with an adjusted HR (aHR) of 1.27 (95% CI = 1.22-1.33) after controlling for sex, age, comorbidities, and medications. The GERD cohort ultimately had a 1.5-fold higher incidence of FM than the non-GERD cohort (5.76 vs 3.96 per 1000 person-years), with an aHR of 1.44 (95% CI = 1.29-1.60). The present study suggests a bidirectional relationship between FM and GERD. There is a greater risk of developing GERD for patients with FM than developing FM for patients with GERD.
纤维肌痛(FM)往往与胃食管反流病(GERD)共存。本回顾性队列研究使用台湾全民健康保险数据库,旨在确定 FM 和 GERD 之间的双向关联。我们建立了 2 个研究组,包括第 1 组的 35117 名 FM 患者和第 2 组的 34630 名 GERD 患者,他们均于 2000 年至 2010 年期间被确诊。对于每个研究组,我们从相同的数据库中随机选择了 4 倍没有 FM 或 GERD 的患者,按性别、年龄和诊断日期进行频数匹配,作为各自的对照组。到 2011 年底,估计了第 1 组中 GERD 的发病率和第 2 组中 FM 的发病率。与非 FM 组相比,FM 组的 GERD 总体发病率高 1.6 倍(12.0 和 7.61 例/1000 人年,粗危险比[HR] = 1.58,95%置信区间[CI] = 1.51-1.66),调整性别、年龄、合并症和药物后,调整后的 HR(aHR)为 1.27(95%CI = 1.22-1.33)。最终,GERD 组发生 FM 的发病率比非 GERD 组高 1.5 倍(5.76 比 3.96 例/1000 人年),aHR 为 1.44(95%CI = 1.29-1.60)。本研究表明 FM 和 GERD 之间存在双向关系。与患有 GERD 的患者相比,患有 FM 的患者发生 GERD 的风险更高。
