Cigarette smoking and risk of primary systemic vasculitis: a propensity score matching analysis.

Discussion and conclusion: Our study indicated a significant association between disease activity and smoking as well as a non-significant association between the clinical manifestations and disease outcome of PSV with smoking in Azeri population. Although further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results, it seems that smoking may not be a significant risk factor for PSV. PMID: 32476959 [PubMed - in process]
