Adolescent and adult patients with a diagnosis of 1 or more ADs were identified. A 12 month washout period was implemented to exclude preexisting UAI. The primary outcome was the incidence of UAI (chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis, chronic laryngitis, obstructive sleep apnea) following AD diagnosis. Hazard ratios and relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After propensity matching, 1\u2005327\u2005186 patients with ADs and 1\u2005327\u2005186 controls were included. Patients with ADs exhibited a significantly lower overall incidence of UAI compared to controls (9.11% vs 13.81%; RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.70-0.71). This reduced risk was notable for allergic rhinitis (RR 0.64, 95% CI 0.64-0.65) and chronic sinusitis (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.87-0.89). Juvenile idiopathic arthritis and type 1 diabetes demonstrated the most pronounced reductions in UAI risk. However, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis were associated with a significantly increased risk of UAI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most ADs were associated with a reduced overall risk of subsequent UAI. However, certain vasculitides significantly increased UAI risk, highlighting disease-specific pathophysiological mechanisms. These findings suggest a complex interplay between systemic autoimmunity and localized airway inflammation, warranting further investigation into underlying mechanisms and the impact of AD
