Lung volume reduction in emphysema: a pragmatic prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Limited guidance exists for the implementation of lung volume reduction interventions in routine clinical care. We designed a pragmatic study to evaluate a strategy including endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) and lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in heterogeneous emphysema. This prospective monocentre cohort study evaluated ELVR versus no-ELVR, followed by a cohort study evaluating LVRS. Primary outcome was the proportion of subjects with a forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁) improvement of ⩾100 mL at 3-month follow-up. Changes in FEV₁, residual volume (RV), 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and quality of life (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)) were evaluated at 6-month follow-up. Hospital stay and treatment-related serious adverse events were monitored. From 106 subjects screened, 38 subjects were enrolled comparing ELVR (n=20) with no-ELVR (n=18). After 6 months' follow-up, eligible patients were referred for LVRS (n=16) with another 6-month follow-up. At 3-month follow-up, 70% of ELVR compared to 11% of no-ELVR (p<0.001) and 69% of LVRS had an FEV₁ improvement of ⩾100 mL. Between-group differences (mean±sem) for ELVR versus no-ELVR at 6-month follow-up were FEV₁ +0.21±0.05 L; RV -0.95±0.21 L; 6MWD 58±17 m and SGRQ -18±5 points. At 6-month follow-up, within-group differences (mean±sem) for LVRS showed FEV₁ +0.27±0.06 L; RV -1.49±0.22 L and 6MWD +75±18 m. Serious adverse events in 81% versus 45% of subjects (p=0.04) and a median hospital stay of 15 versus 5 days (p<0.001) were observed for LVRS versus ELVR, respectively. This pragmatic prospective cohort study supports a clinical approach with ELVR as a less invasive first option and LVRS as powerful alternative in severe heterogeneous emphysema.

Project description:Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) offers alternative novel treatments for patients with emphysema. Comprehensive evidence for comparing different BLVR remains unclear. To estimate the effects of different BLVR on patients with emphysema. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from January 2001 to August 2017 were searched. Randomized clinical trials evaluated effects of BLVR on patients with emphysema. The relevant information was extracted from the published reports with a predefined data extraction sheet, and the risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias tools. Pair-wise metaanalyses were made using the random-effects model. A random-effects network meta-analysis was applied within a Bayesian framework. The quality of evidence contributing to primary outcomes was assessed using the GRADE framework. 13 trials were deemed eligible, including 1993 participants. The quality of evidence was rated as moderate in most comparisons. Medical care (MC)was associated with the lowest adverse events compared with intrabronchial valve (IBV)(-2.5,[-4.70 to -0.29]), endobronchial valve (EBV) (-1.73, [-2.37 to -1.09]), lung volume reduction coils (LVRC) (-0.76, [-1.24 to -0.28]), emphysematous lung sealant (ELS) (-1.53, [-2.66 to -0.39]), and airway bypass(-1.57, [-3.74 to 0.61]). Adverse events in LVRC were lower compared with ELS (-0.77,[-2.00 to 0.47]). Bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation (BTVA) showed significant improvement in FEV1 compared with MC (0.99, [0.37 to 1.62]), IBV (1.25, [0.25 to 2.25]), and LVRC (0.72, [0.03 to 1.40] ). Six? minute walking distance (6 MWD) in ELS was significantly improved compared with other four BLVR, sham control, and MC (-1.96 to 1.99). Interestingly, MC showed less improvement in FEV1 and 6MWDcompared with EBV (-0.45, [-0.69 to -0.20] and -0.39, [-0.71 to -0.07], respectively). The mortality in MC and EBV was lower compared with LVRC alone (-0.38, [-1.16 to 0.41] and -0.50, [-1.68 to 0.68], respectively). BTVA and EBV led to significant changes in St George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) compared with MC alone (-0.74, [-1.43 to -0.05] and 0.44, [0.11 to 0.78], respectively). BLVR offered a clear advantage for patients with emphysema. EBV had noticeable beneficial effects on the improvement of forced expiratory volume 1, 6MWD and SGRQ, and was associated with lower mortality compared with MC in different strategies of BLVR.
