Factors Associated with Indacaterol Response in Tuberculosis-Destroyed Lung with Airflow Limitation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Pulmonary tuberculosis can result in anatomical sequelae, and cause airflow limitation. However, there are no treatment guidelines for patients with a tuberculosis-destroyed lung. Recently, indacaterol effectiveness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with Tuberculosis history (INFINITY) study revealed indacaterol provided bronchodilation and symptom improvement in COPD patients with a tuberculosis-destroyed lung. METHODS:We conducted a post-hoc subgroup analysis of the randomized controlled trial, the INFINITY study, to determine factors associated with indacaterol response in a tuberculosis-destroyed lung with airflow limitation. Data from 68 patients treated with inhaled indacaterol, were extracted and analyzed. Factors associated with the response of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV?) to indacaterol treatment, were determined using linear regression analysis. RESULTS:Of 62 patients included, 68% were male, and 52% had history of cigarette smoking. Patients revealed mean FEV? of 50.5% of predicted value with mean improvement of 81.3 mL in FEV? after indacaterol treatment for 8 weeks. Linear regression analysis revealed factors associated with response of FEV? to indacaterol included a short duration of smoking history, and high short-acting bronchodilator response. When patients with history of smoking were excluded, factors associated with response of FEV? to indacaterol included high short-acting bronchodilator response, and poor healthrelated quality of life score as measured by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire for COPD. CONCLUSION:In a tuberculosis-destroyed lung with airflow limitation, short-acting bronchodilator response and smoking history can play a critical role in predicting outcomes of indacaterol treatment.

Project description:BackgroundPatients suffering from combined obstructive and interstitial lung disease (O-ILD) represent a pathological entity which still has to be well clinically described. The aim of this descriptive and explorative study was to describe the phenotype and functional characteristics of a cohort of patients suffering from functional obstruction in a population of ILD patients in order to raise the need of dedicated prospective observational studies and the evaluation of the impact of anti-fibrotic therapies.MethodsThe current authors conducted a retrospective study including 557 ILD patients, with either obstructive (O-ILD, n = 82) or non-obstructive (non O-ILD, n = 475) pattern. Patients included were mainly males (54%) with a mean age of 62 years.ResultsPatients with O-ILD exhibited a characteristic functional profile with reduced percent predicted forced expired volume in 1 s (FEV1) [65% (53-77) vs 83% (71-96), p < 0.00001], small airway involvement assessed by maximum expiratory flow (MEF) 25/75 [29% (20-41) vs 81% (64-108), p < 0.00001], reduced sGaw [60% (42-75) vs 87% (59-119), p < 0.01] and sub-normal functional residual capacity (FRC) [113% (93-134) vs 92% (75-109), p < 0.00001] with no impaired of carbon monoxide diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO) compared to those without obstruction. Total lung capacity (TLC) was increased in O-ILD patients [93% (82-107) vs 79% (69-91), p < 0.00001]. Of interest, DLCO sharply dropped in O-ILD patients over a 5-year follow-up. We did not identify a significant increase in mortality in patients with O-ILD. Interestingly, the global mortality was increased in the specific sub-group of patients with O-ILD and no progressive fibrosing ILD phenotype and in those with connective tissue disease associated ILD especially in case of rheumatoid arthritis.ConclusionsThe authors individualized a specific functional-based pattern of ILD patients with obstructive lung disease, who are at risk of increased mortality and rapid DLCO decline over time. As classically those patients are excluded from clinical trials, a dedicated prospective study would be of interest in order to define more precisely treatment response of those patients.

Project description:Study objectivesThe presence of flow limitation during sleep is associated with adverse health consequences independent of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity (apnea-hypopnea index, AHI), but remains extremely challenging to quantify. Here we present a unique library and an accompanying automated method that we apply to investigate flow limitation during sleep.MethodsA library of 117,871 breaths (N = 40 participants) were visually classified (certain flow limitation, possible flow limitation, normal) using airflow shape and physiological signals (ventilatory drive per intra-esophageal diaphragm EMG). An ordinal regression model was developed to quantify flow limitation certainty using flow-shape features (e.g. flattening, scooping); breath-by-breath agreement (Cohen's ƙ); and overnight flow limitation frequency (R2, %breaths in certain or possible categories during sleep) were compared against visual scoring. Subsequent application examined flow limitation frequency during arousals and stable breathing, and associations with ventilatory drive.ResultsThe model (23 features) assessed flow limitation with good agreement (breath-by-breath ƙ = 0.572, p < 0.001) and minimal error (overnight flow limitation frequency R2 = 0.86, error = 7.2%). Flow limitation frequency was largely independent of AHI (R2 = 0.16) and varied widely within individuals with OSA (74[32-95]%breaths, mean[range], AHI > 15/h, N = 22). Flow limitation was unexpectedly frequent but variable during arousals (40[5-85]%breaths) and stable breathing (58[12-91]%breaths), and was associated with elevated ventilatory drive (R2 = 0.26-0.29; R2 < 0.01 AHI v. drive).ConclusionsOur method enables quantification of flow limitation frequency, a key aspect of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing that is independent of the AHI and often unavailable. Flow limitation frequency varies widely between individuals, is prevalent during arousals and stable breathing, and reveals elevated ventilatory drive. Clinical trial registration: The current observational physiology study does not qualify as a clinical trial.
