To compare the cumulative survival and event free survival in patients with Jo-1 versus non-Jo-1 anti-tRNA synthetase autoantibodies (anti-synAb).
Anti-synAb positive patients initially evaluated from 1985 to 2009 were included regardless of the connective tissue disease (CTD) diagnosis. Clinical data were extracted from a prospectively collected database and chart review. Survival between Jo-1 and non-Jo-1 was compared by log rank and Cox proportional hazards methods.
202 patients possessed anti-synAb: 122 Jo-1 and 80 non-Jo-1 (35 PL-12; 25 PL-7; 9 EJ; 6 KS; 5 OJ). The diagnoses at first visit for Jo-1 and non-Jo-1 patients were myositis in 83% and 40.0%, overlap or undifferentiated CTD in 17% and 47.5%, and systemic sclerosis in 0% and 12.5%, respectively (p<0.001). The median delay in diagnosis was 0.4 years in Jo-1 patients versus 1.0 year in non-Jo-1 patients (p<0.001). The most common causes of death in the overall cohort were pulmonary fibrosis in 49% and pulmonary hypertension in 11%. The 5- and 10-year unadjusted cumulative survival was 90% and 70% for Jo-1 patients, and 75% and 47% for non-Jo-1 patients (p<0.005). The hazard ratio (HR) of non-Jo-1 patients compared with Jo-1 patients was 1.9 (p=0.01) for cumulative and 1.9 (p=0.008) for event free survival from diagnosis. Age at first diagnosis and diagnosis delay but not gender, ethnicity and CTD diagnosis influenced survival.
Non-Jo-1 anti-synAb positive patients have decreased survival compared with Jo-1 patients. The difference in survival may be partly attributable to a delay in diagnosis in the non-Jo-1 patients.
比较抗 tRNA 合成酶自身抗体(抗-synAb)阳性的 Jo-1 患者与非 Jo-1 患者的累积生存率和无事件生存率。
纳入了 1985 年至 2009 年期间最初评估的抗-synAb 阳性患者,无论结缔组织病(CTD)诊断如何。从前瞻性收集的数据库和病历回顾中提取临床数据。通过对数秩和 Cox 比例风险方法比较 Jo-1 和非 Jo-1 之间的生存情况。
202 例患者具有抗-synAb:122 例 Jo-1 和 80 例非 Jo-1(35 例 PL-12;25 例 PL-7;9 例 EJ;6 例 KS;5 例 OJ)。Jo-1 和非 Jo-1 患者初次就诊时的诊断分别为肌炎 83%和 40.0%,重叠或未分化 CTD 17%和 47.5%,系统性硬化症 0%和 12.5%(p<0.001)。Jo-1 患者的中位诊断延迟为 0.4 年,而非 Jo-1 患者为 1.0 年(p<0.001)。总体队列中最常见的死亡原因是肺纤维化 49%和肺动脉高压 11%。Jo-1 患者的 5 年和 10 年未调整累积生存率分别为 90%和 70%,而非 Jo-1 患者分别为 75%和 47%(p<0.005)。与 Jo-1 患者相比,非 Jo-1 患者的累积和无事件生存率的风险比(HR)分别为 1.9(p=0.01)和 1.9(p=0.008)。首次诊断时的年龄和诊断延迟,但不是性别、种族和 CTD 诊断,影响了生存率。
与 Jo-1 患者相比,非 Jo-1 抗-synAb 阳性患者的生存率降低。生存差异部分可能归因于非 Jo-1 患者的诊断延迟。
