Clues to mortality trends and their related factors in IgG4-related disease: A Japanese single-center retrospective study.

Our findings suggest that in the rheumatology department, IgG4-RD does not significantly affect long-term patient survival. However, multi-organ involvement, renal dysfunction, and malignancy may be associated with higher mortality trends in IgG4-RD. Early detection and appropriate management of risk factors may improve the long-term prognosis of patients with IgG4-RD.
