Evaluation of usefulness in surfactant protein D as a predictor of mortality in myositis-associated interstitial lung disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is considered a serum biomarker of various forms of interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this study, we examined the utility of SP-D as a predictive biomarker for mortality in patients with ILD associated with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) using large-scale multicentre cohort data.

Methods

We enrolled 381 patients with incident PM/DM-associated ILD in a multicentre retrospective cohort based on the availability of serum SP-D at the baseline. Demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the presence of autoantibodies to melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) and aminoacyl tRNA synthetase were measured at the time of diagnosis, and follow-up survival data were collected prospectively.

Results

Seventy-eight patients died during the median observation period of 18 months, and the majority of patients died of ILD. The SP-D levels at baseline were significantly lower (P = 0.02) in a non-survivor subset than in a survivor subset among the entire enrolled patients. However, the SP-D levels were higher in the non-survivor subset than in the survivor subset based on the stratification by anti-MDA5-positive, anti-ARS-positive and, double-negativity, although there was an only statistically significant difference (P = 0.01) in the double-negative group. Surprisingly, the SP-D levels were within the upper limit of normal, 110 ng/mL, in 54 (87%) of 62 anti-MDA5-positive patients who died. In the double-negative group, the mortality rates were significantly higher (P = 0.002) in a subset with SP-D ?127.6 ng/mL, the cut-off value for mortality calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve, than the other subset. All of patients with SP-D <127.6 ng/mL survived.

Conclusion

Serum SP-D levels behave differently among patients with stratified by anti-MDA5 antibody, anti-ARS antibody and both negativity in PM/DM-associated ILD. Its use in clinical practice should be applied with caution on the basis of the presence or absence of anti-MDA5 antibody or anti-ARS antibody.

Project description:ObjectiveTo stratify patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) who were initially treated with an intensive regimen consisting of high-dose corticosteroids, a calcineurin inhibitor, and intravenous cyclophosphamide (triple-combo therapy) into subgroups based on mortality outcomes by a cluster analysis using a large-scale multicenter retrospective cohort of Japanese patients with myositis-associated ILD (JAMI).MethodsTwo-step cluster analysis of preclustering and subsequent hierarchical clustering was conducted in 185 patients who received triple-combo therapy in an unbiased manner. Initial predictors for mortality previously reported in patients with myositis-associated ILD were used as variables and included age, sex, disease duration, classification of myositis, requirement of supplemental oxygen, anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibody, anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody, and serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6). The cluster model was further applied to 283 patients who received conventional regimens consisting of corticosteroids with or without a single immunosuppressive agent (dual-combo therapy or monotherapy). Cumulative survival rates were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and the log-rank test was used to test for significant differences between two groups.ResultsWe developed a cluster model consisting of 6 clusters, which were categorized by age at onset, clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis, CRP, KL-6, requirement of supplemental oxygen, anti-ARS antibody, and anti-MDA5 antibody. This model was judged to be of good quality based on the silhouette measure of cohesion and separation of 0.6. These clusters were regrouped into three subsets based on low (<10%), moderate (10-50%), and high (>50%) mortality rates. The performance of the clustering was generally replicated in patients who received initial dual-combo therapy or monotherapy. Survival benefits of triple-combo therapy over dual-combo therapy or monotherapy were not observed in any of the clusters.ConclusionWe successfully developed a cluster model that stratified patients with myositis-associated ILD who were treated with initial triple-combo therapy into subgroups with different prognoses, although this model failed to identify a patient subgroup that showed survival benefits from triple-combo therapy over dual-combo therapy or monotherapy.

Project description:ObjectiveThe clinical features of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and negative myositis autoantibodies had not been exactly demonstrated previously. This study aimed to describe and expand the phenotype of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in this cohort of patients.MethodsA total of 1125 consecutive Chinese patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) between 2006 and 2020 were screened retrospectively. All proven cases of isolated ILD with both negative myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSA) and negative myositis-associated autoantibodies (MAA) were selected for inclusion. The clinical features and outcome among this group, MDA5+DM (DM patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibody) and ASS (patients with positive anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetases antibodies were recorded and compared.ResultsOf 1125 IIM patients with an average follow-up of 6 years, 154 DM patients with negative MSA and MAA (MSA/MAA) were identified, with an ILD incidence of 46.8%. DM-ILD Patients with negative MSA/MAA presented younger age at onset (p<0.001), lower incidence of elevated CA153 (p=0.03) and fever (p=0.04)than those ILD patients with MDA5+DM and ASS.The estimated high-resolution computed tomography patterns of ILD showed non-specific interstitial pneumonia (66.6%), followed by organizing pneumonia in patients with negative MSA/MAA. OP pattern was more common in patients with MDA5+DM (69.7%), and the ratios of the OP (48.7%) and NSIP (51.3%) patterns were almost equal in patients with ASS. Of these DM-ILD patients with negative MSA/MAA, 25% developed rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Patients with RP-ILD had a shorter disease duration (p=0.002), higher percentage of positive ANA(p=0.01) and organizing pneumonia patterns (p=0.04), elevated CYFRA211(p=0.04) and decreased FiO2/PaO2 (p<0.001) than those with chronic progressive ILD. The incidence of OP pattern in RP-ILD patients with negative MSA/MAA was lower than in those RPILD patients with MDA5+ DM (75%) and ASS (89%) (p=0.006). The cumulative 5- and 10-year survival rates in the DM-ILD patients with negative MSA/MAA were 91% and 88%, respectively, during the long-term follow-up study. And they had more favorable survival rate compared with ILD patients with MDA5+DM and ASS (p<0.001). An independent prognostic factor was identified as decreased PaO2/FiO2 (hazard ratio, 0.97; p=0.004].ConclusionsThis study indicates DM-ILD patients with negative MSA/MAA had favorable long-term outcomes. Decreased baseline PaO2/FiO2 acted as an independent prognostic factor for this group of patients.
