Despite several studies documenting abnormal immune activity in women with infertility, little is known about the association between infertility and incidence of autoimmune diseases such as SARD which disproportionately develops in reproductive-aged women.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This population-based cohort study using linked administrative data for all of ON, Canada, 2012\u20132021 and included 568\u00a0053 singleton births among 465\u00a0078 women aged 18\u201350\u2009years without known pre-existing SARD.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The exposures were: (i) no infertility with unassisted conception (referent [88.0% of the cohort]); (ii) infertility without fertility treatment (9.2%); (iii) infertility with non-invasive fertility treatment (ovulation induction or intrauterine insemination [1.4%]); and (iv) infertility with invasive fertility treatment (IVF or ICSI [1.4%]). SARD was identified by a validated algorithm based on diagnostic codes at two physician visits, one rheumatologist visit, or one hospitalization and measured from the index delivery date, with censoring at death, loss of health insurance, or study end of 31 March 2021. Marginal structural Cox proportional hazards models generated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CIs representing total effects adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, and smoking, and controlled direct effects additionally accounting for adverse pregnancy outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The median (IQR) duration of follow-up was 6.5 (4\u20139) years. The incidence rate of SARD was 9.3 per 10\u00a0000 person-years in women without infertility, 12.5 per 10\u00a0000 person-years in those with infertility and no fertility treatment, 10.9 per 10\u00a0000 person-years following non-invasive fertility treatment, and 10.9 per 10\u00a0000 person-years after invasive fertility treatment. Infertility without treatment was associated with an elevated risk of SARD, even after accounting for adverse pregnancy outcomes (controlled direct effect HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.12\u20131.40). Neither non-invasive (total effect HR 1.06, 95% CI 0.79\u20131.42) nor invasive (total effect HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.69\u20131.36) fertility treatments were associated with SARD.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Exposure and outcome misclassification is possible as this study used published algorithms in health administrative data with unknown or imperfect sensitivity and specificity. Data on individual-level social and lifestyle factors and underlying causes of infertility were not available and thus were not included in the analysis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Infertility in the absence of fertility treatment may be an important risk marker for SARD in women who give birth. Greater health provider awareness of SARD symptoms and related gynaecological issues that may be present in women with infertility could facilitate earlier detection and treatment of SARD during the reproductive years.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTERESTS(S)<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This research was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research through a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship to N.V.S. and Canada Research Chair to H.K.B.
