The present study aimed to compare the post-lung transplant survival and complications of connective tissue disease (CTD)-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or pulmonary arterial hypertension with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The clinical data of patients with CTD-ILD or IPF who received lung transplantation between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Cumulative survival rates after transplantation were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
The study included 31 patients with confirmed CTD-ILD and 98 with IPF. Patients with CTD-ILD were significantly younger (53.2 ± 13.7 vs. 62.3 ± 7.2 years, p=0.001) and more likely female (61.3% vs. 7.1%, p<0.001) than patients with IPF. No significant difference was noticed in the 1-year and 5-year survival rates between CTD-ILD and IPF patients (1-year, 73.2% vs 71.4%, p=0.76; 5-year, 69.1% vs. 39.5%, p=0.21). The incidence of primary graft dysfunction was significantly higher in CTD-ILD patients (90.3% vs. 70.4%, p=0.03), while there was no significant difference in primary graft dysfunction-related mortality (6.5% vs. 6.1%, p=0.95) between the two groups.
There was no significant difference in post-lung transplant survival and complications between CTD-ILD and IPF.
本研究旨在比较结缔组织病(CTD)相关间质性肺疾病(ILD)和/或肺动脉高压与特发性肺纤维化(IPF)患者肺移植后的生存和并发症。
回顾性分析了 2015 年至 2020 年间接受肺移植的 CTD-ILD 或 IPF 患者的临床资料。采用 Kaplan-Meier 法估计移植后累积生存率。
本研究共纳入 31 例确诊为 CTD-ILD 和 98 例 IPF 患者。与 IPF 患者相比,CTD-ILD 患者明显更年轻(53.2±13.7 岁比 62.3±7.2 岁,p=0.001),且女性比例更高(61.3%比 7.1%,p<0.001)。CTD-ILD 和 IPF 患者的 1 年和 5 年生存率无显著差异(1 年:73.2%比 71.4%,p=0.76;5 年:69.1%比 39.5%,p=0.21)。CTD-ILD 患者原发性移植物功能障碍的发生率明显更高(90.3%比 70.4%,p=0.03),但两组原发性移植物功能障碍相关死亡率无显著差异(6.5%比 6.1%,p=0.95)。
CTD-ILD 和 IPF 患者肺移植后的生存和并发症无显著差异。
