To evaluate the predictive value of PD-1 expression in T lymphocytes for rehospitalization due to acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) in discharged patients.
115 participants hospitalized with COPD (average age 71.8 ± 6.0 years) were recruited at Fujian Provincial Hospital. PD1T lymphocytes proportions (PD1T%), baseline demographics and clinical data were recorded at hospital discharge. AECOPD re-admission were collected at 1-year follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis compared the time to AECOPD readmissions among groups stratified by PD1T%. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression and stratified analysis determined the correlation between PD1T%, potential confounders, and AECOPD re-admission. ROC and DCA evaluated PD1T% in enhancing the clinical predictive values of Cox models, BODE and CODEX.
68 participants (59.1%) were AECOPD readmitted, those with AECOPD readmission exhibited significantly elevated baseline PD-1CD4T/CD4T% and PD-1CD8 + T/CD8 + T% compared to non-readmitted counterparts. PD1 T lymphocyte levels statistically correlated with BODE and CODEX indices. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that those in Higher PD1 T lymphocyte proportions had reduced time to AECOPD readmission (logRank p < 0.05). Cox analysis identified high PD1CD4T and PD1CD8T ratios as risk factors of AECOPD readmission, with hazard ratios of 1.384(95%CI [1.043-1.725]) and 1.401(95%CI [1.013-1.789]), respectively. Notably, in patients aged < 70 years and with fewer than twice AECOPD episodes in the previous year, high PD1T lymphocyte counts significantly increased risk for AECOPD readmission(p < 0.05). The AECOPD readmission predictive model, incorporating PD1T% exhibited superior discrimination to the Cox model, BODE index and CODEX index, AUC of ROC were 0.763(95%CI [0.633-0.893]) and 0.734(95%CI [0.570-0.899]) (DeLong's test p < 0.05).The DCA illustrates that integrating PD1T% into models significantly enhances the utility in aiding clinical decision-making.
Evaluation of PD1 lymphocyte proportions offer a novel perspective for identifying high-risk COPD patients, potentially providing insights for COPD management.

评估 PD-1 表达在 T 淋巴细胞中的预测价值,以预测出院后 COPD(AECOPD)急性加重再入院的风险。
在福建省立医院招募了 115 名因 COPD 住院的患者(平均年龄 71.8±6.0 岁)。在出院时记录 PD1T 淋巴细胞比例(PD1T%)、基线人口统计学和临床数据。在 1 年随访时收集 AECOPD 再入院情况。Kaplan-Meier 分析比较了 PD1T%分层的各组之间的 AECOPD 再入院时间。多变量 Cox 比例风险回归和分层分析确定了 PD1T%、潜在混杂因素与 AECOPD 再入院之间的相关性。ROC 和 DCA 评估了 PD1T%对 Cox 模型、BODE 和 CODEX 临床预测值的增强作用。
68 名患者(59.1%)发生了 AECOPD 再入院,与未再入院患者相比,AECOPD 再入院患者的基线 PD-1CD4T/CD4T%和 PD-1CD8+T/CD8+T%显著升高。PD1 淋巴细胞水平与 BODE 和 CODEX 指数呈统计学相关。Kaplan-Meier 分析表明,PD1T 淋巴细胞比例较高的患者 AECOPD 再入院时间更短(对数秩检验 p<0.05)。Cox 分析确定高 PD1CD4T 和 PD1CD8T 比值是 AECOPD 再入院的危险因素,风险比分别为 1.384(95%CI [1.043-1.725])和 1.401(95%CI [1.013-1.789])。值得注意的是,在年龄<70 岁且前一年 AECOPD 发作次数少于两次的患者中,高 PD1T 淋巴细胞计数显著增加了 AECOPD 再入院的风险(p<0.05)。纳入 PD1T%的 AECOPD 再入院预测模型显示出比 Cox 模型、BODE 指数和 CODEX 指数更高的区分度,ROC 的 AUC 分别为 0.763(95%CI [0.633-0.893])和 0.734(95%CI [0.570-0.899])(DeLong 检验 p<0.05)。DCA 表明,将 PD1T%纳入模型显著提高了模型在辅助临床决策方面的效用。
评估 PD1 淋巴细胞比例为识别高危 COPD 患者提供了新视角,可能为 COPD 管理提供新见解。
