The burden of common variable immunodeficiency disorders: a retrospective analysis of the European Society for Immunodeficiency (ESID) registry data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID) are a group of rare innate disorders characterized by specific antibody deficiency and increased rates of infections, comorbidities and mortality. The burden of CVID in Europe has not been previously estimated. We performed a retrospective analysis of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) registry data on the subset of patients classified by their immunologist as CVID and treated between 2004 and 2014. The registered deaths and comorbidities were used to calculate the annual average age-standardized rates of Years of Life Lost to premature death (YLL), Years Lost to Disability (YLD) and Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY=YLL?+?YLD). These outcomes were expressed as a rate per 10⁵ of the CVID cohort (the individual disease burden), and of the general population (the societal disease burden).

Results

Data of 2700 patients from 23 countries were analysed. Annual comorbidity rates: bronchiectasis, 21.9%; autoimmunity, 23.2%; digestive disorders, 15.6%; solid cancers, 5.5%; lymphoma, 3.8%, exceeded the prevalence in the general population by a factor of 34.0, 7.6, 8.1, 2.4 and 32.6, respectively. The comorbidities of CVID caused 8722 (6069; 12,363) YLD/10⁵ in this cohort, whereas 44% of disability burden was attributable to infections and bronchiectasis. The total individual burden of CVID was 36,785 (33,078, 41,380) DALY/10⁵. With estimated CVID prevalence of ~?1/ 25,000, the societal burden of CVID ensued 1.5 (1.3, 1.7) DALY/10⁵ of the general population. In exploratory analysis, increased mortality was associated with solid tumor, HR (95% CI): 2.69 (1.10; 6.57) p?=?0.030, lymphoma: 5.48 (2.36; 12.71) p?ConclusionsWhile the societal burden of CVID may seem moderate, it is severe to the individual patient. Delay in CVID diagnosis may constitute a modifiable risk factor of serious comorbidities and death but showed no improvement. Tools supporting timely CVID diagnosis should be developed with high priority.

Project description:BackgroundCommon variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is one of the most common primary immunodeficiency syndromes, affecting one in 25,000-50,000 people. Renal insufficiency occurs in approximately 2% of patients with CVID. To date, there are no case series of renal biopsies from patients with CVID, making it difficult to determine whether individual cases of renal disease in CVID represent sporadic events or are related to the underlying pathophysiology. We performed a retrospective analysis of renal biopsy specimens in our database from patients with a clinical history of CVID (n=22 patients, 27 biopsies).MethodsLight, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy were reviewed. IgG subclasses, PLA2R immunohistochemistry, and THSD7A, EXT1, and NELL1 immunofluorescence were performed on all membranous glomerulopathy cases. CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD20 immunohistochemistry was performed on cases of tubulointerstitial nephritis.ResultsAKI and proteinuria were the leading indications for renal biopsy in patients with CVID. Immune-complex glomerulopathy was present in 12 of 22 (54.5%) cases, including nine cases with membranous glomerulopathy, one case with a C3 glomerulopathy, and one case with membranoproliferative GN with IgG3κ deposits. All membranous glomerulopathy cases were PLA2R, THSD7A, EXT1, and NELL1 negative. The second most common renal biopsy diagnosis was chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis, affecting 33% of patients. All tubulointerstitial nephritis cases showed tubulitis and a lymphocytic infiltrate with >90% CD3+ T cells. Other renal biopsy diagnoses within our cohort included acute tubular injury (n=1), amyloid light-chain amyloidosis (n=1), diabetic glomerulosclerosis (n=1), thin basement membranes (n=1), pauci-immune GN (n=1), and arterionephrosclerosis (n=1).ConclusionsMembranous glomerulopathy and tubulointerstitial nephritis were the predominant pathologic findings in patients with CVID. Membranous glomerulopathy cases in patients with CVID were IgG1 subclass dominant and showed mesangial immune deposits. Four of the membranous glomerulopathy cases had associated proliferation, with mesangial and/or endocapillary hypercellularity, with or without crescent formation. CVID should be considered as a potential cause when membranous glomerulopathy or chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis is seen in a young patient with a history of recurrent infections.
