We compared population-based incidence rates for classical Kaposi's sarcoma and multiple myeloma. Neither for men (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r) = 0.01, P = 0.97, 13 pairs) nor for women (r = 0.24, P = 0.42, 13 pairs) did the incidences of the two conditions correlate. This absence of correlation does not support the hypothesis that Kaposi's sarcoma and multiple myeloma share a common aetiology, such as HHV-8.
我们比较了基于人群的经典卡波西肉瘤和多发性骨髓瘤的发病率。在男性中(斯皮尔曼等级相关系数(r)=0.01,P = 0.97,13对)以及女性中(r = 0.24,P = 0.42,13对),这两种疾病的发病率均无相关性。这种缺乏相关性并不支持卡波西肉瘤和多发性骨髓瘤具有共同病因(如HHV-8)这一假说。
