Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is frequently observed in anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibody positive dermatomyositis (DM) and anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS), where they often develop a rapidly progressive ILD (RP-ILD) leading to poor prognosis.
The aim of this study was to construct multivariable prediction risk factors for rapid progressive ILD (RP-ILD) in anti-MDA5 positive DM (MDA5DM) and ASS.
333 idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) associated ILD patients were studied retrospectively. Risk factors for RP-ILD in MDA5DM and ASS patients were identified by univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis. The mortality was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
RP-ILD was more prevalent in MDA5DM patients than ASS patients. MDA5DM patients with RP-ILD had significantly lower survival rates than those in ASS patients. The independent risk factors for RP-ILD in MDA5DM patients were fever (OR 3.67, 95% CI:1.79-7.52), lymphopenia (OR 2.14, 95% CI:1.01-4.53), especially decreased levels of CD3T cells (OR 2.56, 95% CI:1.17-5.61), decreased levels of CD3CD4 T cells (OR 2.80, 95% CI:1.37-5.73), CD3CD8T cells (OR 2.18, 95% CI:1.05-4.50), elevated CD5CD19 B cells (OR 3.17, 95% CI:1.41-7.13), elevated ALT (OR 2.36, 95% CI:1.15-4.81), high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (OR 3.08, 95% CI:1.52-6.27), hyper-ferritin (OR 4.97, 95% CI:1.97-12.50), elevated CEA (OR 2.28, 95% CI:1.13-4.59), and elevated CA153 (OR 3.31, 95% CI:1.50-7.27). While the independent risk factors for RP-ILD in ASS patients were elevated CEA (OR 5.25, 95% CI: 1.73-15.93), CA125 (OR 2.79, 95% CI: 1.10-7.11) and NSE (OR 4.86, 95% CI: 1.44-16.37). Importantly, serum ferritin>2200ng/ml predicted patient's death within half a year in MDA5DM patients with RP-ILD, but not in ASS patients.
There were significant different mortality and multivariable risk factors for RP-ILD in MDA5DM patients and ASS patients. Potential clinical benefits of using these different risk factors deserve assessment of severity and prognosis in IIM patients.
间质性肺疾病(ILD)在抗黑色素瘤分化相关蛋白5(MDA5)抗体阳性皮肌炎(DM)和抗合成酶综合征(ASS)中经常出现,在这些疾病中,患者常发展为快速进展性ILD(RP-ILD),导致预后不良。
本研究旨在构建抗MDA5阳性DM(MDA5DM)和ASS中快速进展性ILD(RP-ILD)的多变量预测危险因素。
对333例特发性炎性肌病(IIM)相关ILD患者进行回顾性研究。通过单变量和多变量逻辑回归分析确定MDA5DM和ASS患者中RP-ILD的危险因素。使用Kaplan-Meier分析评估死亡率。
RP-ILD在MDA5DM患者中比在ASS患者中更常见。患有RP-ILD的MDA5DM患者的生存率明显低于ASS患者。MDA5DM患者中RP-ILD的独立危险因素为发热(比值比3.67,95%置信区间:1.79-7.52)、淋巴细胞减少(比值比2.14,95%置信区间:1.01-4.53),尤其是CD3T细胞水平降低(比值比2.56,95%置信区间:1.17-5.61)、CD3CD4 T细胞水平降低(比值比2.80,95%置信区间:1.37-5.73)、CD3CD8T细胞水平降低(比值比2.18,95%置信区间:1.05-4.50)、CD5CD19 B细胞升高(比值比3.17,95%置信区间:1.41-7.13)、ALT升高(比值比2.36,95%置信区间:1.15-4.81)、高乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)(比值比3.08,95%置信区间:1.52-6.27)、高铁蛋白(比值比4.97,95%置信区间:1.97-12.50)、CEA升高(比值比2.28,95%置信区间:1.13-4.59)和CA153升高(比值比3.31,95%置信区间:1.50-7.27)。而ASS患者中RP-ILD的独立危险因素为CEA升高(比值比5.25,95%置信区间:1.73-15.93)、CA125升高(比值比2.79,95%置信区间:1.10-7.11)和NSE升高(比值比4.86,95%置信区间:1.44-16.37)。重要的是,血清铁蛋白>2200ng/ml可预测患有RP-ILD的MDA5DM患者在半年内死亡,但在ASS患者中则不然。
MDA5DM患者和ASS患者中RP-ILD的死亡率和多变量危险因素存在显著差异。使用这些不同危险因素的潜在临床益处值得在IIM患者中评估疾病严重程度和预后。
