Shared Medical and Environmental Risk Factors in Dry Eye Syndrome, Sjogren's Syndrome, and B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case-Control Study.

Conclusions: Some exposures are associated with all three conditions (such as an inverse association with alcohol consumption and a positive association with serious past infection), while a family history of AID appears to be shared by DES and SS, but not NHL subjects. Shared risk factors for all three conditions indicate possible mutual etiological pathways. PMID: 30805374 [PubMed - in process]
