Using 2006\u20132010 data from MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters, we conducted a retrospective cohort study in people with an ICD-9-CM code for giardiasis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 3301) and persons without giardiasis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 14 612) individually matched on age, sex, and enrolment length. We used conditional logistic regression to model the association between giardiasis and arthritis or joint pain documented in the 6 months following initial giardiasis diagnosis or index date for matched controls. After adjusting for healthcare utilization rate, giardiasis was associated with a 51% increase in claims for arthritis or joint pain (odds ratio 1\u00b751, 95% confidence interval 1\u00b726\u20131\u00b780). In age- and sex-stratified adjusted analyses, the association remained significant across all subgroups (age 0\u201319 years, age 20\u201364 years, males, and females). Findings from this study lend epidemiological support for the association between giardiasis and subsequent development of arthritis. Reactive arthritis might occur more frequently than has been reported in the literature. Further research is necessary to determine the mechanisms by which giardiasis could lead to arthritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268816002120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,19]],"date-time":"2016-09-19T06:22:33Z","timestamp":1474266153000},"page":"471-477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Association between <i>Giardia<\/i> and arthritis or joint pain in a large health insurance cohort: could it be reactive arthritis?"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"145","author":[{"given":"J.
