Project description:OBJECTIVE:To clarify prognostic factors for idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD). DESIGN:Systematic review and meta-analysis using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system. DATA SOURCES:Medline, EMBASE and Science Citation Index Expanded were searched through 9 August 2018. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIES:The review includes primary studies addressing all-cause mortality of IIM-associated ILD. Potential prognostic factors were any clinical information related to the outcome. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS:Two reviewers extracted relevant data independently and assessed risk of bias using the Quality in Prognostic Studies tool. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random effects model and if inappropriate the results were reported qualitatively. Prognostic factors were determined based on statistically significant results derived from multivariate analysis. RESULTS:Of a total of 5892 articles returned, 32 were deemed eligible for analysis and cumulatively, these studies reported 28 potential prognostic factors for all-cause mortality. Each study was subject to certain methodological constraints. The four prognostic factors, which demonstrated statistically significant results on both univariate and multivariate analyses, were as follows: age (MD 5.90, 3.17-8.63/HR 1.06, 1.02-1.10 and 2.31, 1.06-5.06), acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia (A/SIP) (OR 4.85, 2.81-8.37/HR 4.23, 1.69-12.09 and 5.17, 1.94-13.49), percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) (OR 0.96, 0.95-0.98/HR 0.96, 0.93-0.99) and anti-Jo-1 antibody (OR 0.35, 0.18-0.71/HR 0.004, 0.00003-0.54) (univariate/multivariate, 95% CI). Other prognostic factors included ground glass opacity/attenuation (GGO/GGA) and extent of radiological abnormality. The quality of the presented evidence was rated as either low or very low. CONCLUSIONS:Older age, A/SIP, lower value of %FVC, GGO/GGA and extent of radiological abnormality were demonstrated to predict poor prognosis for IIM-associated ILD while a positive test for anti-Jo-1 antibody indicated better prognosis. However, given the weak evidence they should be interpreted with caution. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:CRD42016036999.

Project description:The major pulmonary complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is interstitial lung disease (ILD), which causes significant morbidity and mortality and influences the natural course of disease. Recent advances in the management of arthritis have improved patient outcomes. However, exceptionally high medical needs still remain for effective therapies for the patients with ILD in RA. Better understanding of the shared and distinct pathophysiology of fibrotic diseases led to the development of novel antifibrotic agents such as nintedanib and pirfenidone. The further stratification analysis of the phase III INBUILD trial demonstrated beneficial effects of nintedanib in RA-ILD with a progressive phenotype by reducing the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) over 52 weeks by 60%. Pirfenidone is another antifibrotic agent currently under phase II clinical study (TRAIL1) aiming to evaluate its effects for RA-ILD. This review provides an overview of state-of-the-art pathogenesis and the current therapeutic options for RA-ILD, with a focus on antifibrotic strategies.

Project description:Objectives: To initially clarify the efficacy and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with idiopathic-inflammatory-myopathy-related interstitial lung disease (IIM-ILD). Methods: A retrospective, real-world analysis was conducted in IIM-ILD patients who regularly received outpatient visit or hospitalization from January 2018 to March 2020 in three centers. And the patients were divided into two groups depending on presence or absence of nintedanib therapy. Comparisons, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and propensity score matching were made to identify difference in time to death from any cause, incidence of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) and comorbidity of pulmonary infection between the two groups. The following logistic regression analyses and Cox proportional-hazard regression analyses were used to verify the therapeutic value of nintedanib as well as clinical significance of other factors. Adverse events were descriptively recorded. Results: Thirty-six patients receiving nintedanib therapy and 115 patients without use of nintedanib were included. Before and after propensity score matching, the primary comparisons revealed better survival (P = 0.015, P = 0016, respectively) and lower incidence of RP-ILD (P = 0.017, P = 0.014, respectively) in patients with nintedanib therapy. Logistic regression analysis identified that disease activity (P < 0.001), percent-predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO%, P = 0.036), nintedanib therapy (P = 0.004, OR value = 0.072) and amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM, P = 0.012) were significantly correlated with RP-ILD. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis suggested that disease activity (P < 0.001), anti-MDA5 antibody (P < 0.001) and nintedanib therapy (P = 0.013, HR value=0.268) were significantly associated with survival of IIM-ILD patients. Similar results can also be seen in analyses after propensity score matching. In the 36 patients with nintedanib therapy, diarrhea was the most common adverse event (44.4%) and hepatic insufficiency contributed to most dosage reduction (44.4% of nine patients) or therapy discontinuation (60.0% of five patients). Conclusions: Nintedanib was found to reduce incidence of RP-ILD and improve survival in IIM-ILD patients in a real-world setting. Anti-MDA5 antibody could be taken as a risk factor for unfavorable outcome. ADM was significantly correlated with occurrence of RP-ILD. In addition to the most frequent diarrhea, hepatic insufficiency was closely related to dosage reduction or therapy discontinuation.

Project description:AimTo investigate the risk factors for interstitial lung disease (ILD) and prognosis in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).MethodsA retrospective longitudinal study was performed in patients diagnosed with IIM between January 2012 and December 2018.ResultsThe study cohort included 91 men and 195 women who were classified as having dermatomyositis (DM, n = 183), polymyositis (PM, n = 77), or clinical amyopathic DM (CADM, n = 26). ILD was identified in 46.5% (n = 133) of patients with IIM. The independent risk factors for ILD were age at disease onset, presence of anti-Ro-52 antibody, Gottron's papules, elevated serum immunoglobulin M levels and hypoalbuminemia. Older age at disease onset, ILD, malignancy, and increased serum aspartate aminotransferase and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were identified as the independent predictors for mortality, whereas elevated serum albumin level was associated with a better prognosis. A total of 73 deaths (25.5%) occurred after a median follow-up time of 33 months. Infection (49.3%) was the leading cause of death. In the overall cohort, the 1-year, 5-year and cumulative survival rates were 83.2%, 74.2% and 69.4%, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the optimal cut-off value of NLR for predicting death in IIM was 6.11.ConclusionIIM patients have a poor prognosis with substantial mortality, especially in patients who have older age at onset, ILD, malignancy and higher NLR. Close monitoring and aggressive therapies are required in patients having poor predictive factors.

Project description:Objective: This study was conducted to identify the characteristics and prognosis of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and to assess the predictors for poor survival of RP-ILD in IIM. Methods: A total of 474 patients with IIM were enrolled retrospectively according to medical records from Peking University People's Hospital. Clinical and laboratory characteristics recorded at the diagnosis of patients with RP-ILD and chronic ILD (C-ILD) were compared. The Kaplan-Meier estimator and univariate and multivariate analyses were used for data analysis. Results: ILD was identified in 65% (308/474) of patients with IIM. Patients with ILD were classified into two groups based on lung features: RP-ILD (38%, 117/308) and C-ILD (62%, 191/308). RP-ILD resulted in significantly higher mortality in IIM compared with C-ILD (27.4 vs. 7.9%, P < 0.05). In this study, by comparing IIM patients with and without RP-ILD, a list of initial predictors for RP-ILD development were identified, which included older age at onset, decreased peripheral lymphocytes, skin involvement (periungual erythema, skin ulceration, and subcutaneous/mediastinal emphysema), presence of anti-MDA5 antibody, serum tumor markers, etc. Further multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis identified that anti-MDA5 positivity was an independent risk factor for mortality due to RP-ILD (P < 0.05), and lymphocytes <30% in BALF might also be associated with poor survival of myositis-associated RP-ILD (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our study shows that RP-ILD results in increased mortality in IIM. Anti-MDA5 positivity and a lower lymphocyte ratio in BALF might be the predictive factor of mortality due to RP-ILD.

Project description:The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of connective tissue diseases that afect multiple organ systems, including the lungs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most common and heterogeneous complication of IIMs, with its degree ranging from mild to fatal. Thus, it is critical to identify clinical features and validated biomarkers for predicting disease progression and prognosis, which could be beneficial for therapy adjustment. In this review, we discuss predictors for rapid progression of IIM-ILD and propose guidance for disease monitoring and implications of therapy. Systematic screening of myositis-specific antibodies, measuring serum biomarker levels, pulmonary function tests, and chest high-resolution computer tomography will be beneficial for the evaluation of disease progression and prognosis.

Project description:In patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) complicating classical or amyopathic idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), lung transplantation outcomes might be affected by the disease and treatments. Here, our objective was to assess survival and prognostic factors in lung transplant recipients with IIM-ILD. We retrospectively reviewed data for 64 patients who underwent lung transplantation between 2009 and 2021 at 19 European centers. Patient survival was the primary outcome. At transplantation, the median age was 53 [46-59] years, 35 (55%) patients were male, 31 (48%) had classical IIM, 25 (39%) had rapidly progressive ILD, and 21 (33%) were in a high-priority transplant allocation program. Survival rates after 1, 3, and 5 years were 78%, 73%, and 70%, respectively. During follow-up (median, 33 [7-63] months), 23% of patients developed chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Compared to amyopathic IIM, classical IIM was characterized by longer disease duration, higher-intensity immunosuppression before transplantation, and significantly worse posttransplantation survival. Five (8%) patients had a clinical IIM relapse, with mild manifestations. No patient experienced ILD recurrence in the allograft. Posttransplantation survival in IIM-ILD was similar to that in international all-cause-transplantation registries. The main factor associated with worse survival was a history of muscle involvement (classical IIM). In lung transplant recipients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, survival was similar to that in all-cause transplantation and was worse in patients with muscle involvement compared to those with the amyopathic disease.

Project description:Although scleroderma-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is a significant contributor to both morbidity and mortality, its pathogenesis is largely unclear. Pulmonary function tests and high-resolution computed tomographic scanning continue to be the most effective tools to screen for lung involvement and to monitor for disease progression. More research and better biomarkers are needed to identify patients most at risk for developing SSc-ILD as well as to recognize which of these patients will progress to more severe disease. Although immunosuppression remains the mainstay of treatment, antifibrotic agents may offer new avenues of treatment for patients with SSc-ILD in the future.

Project description:Symptoms of drug-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) are nonspecific and can be difficult to distinguish from a number of illnesses that commonly occur in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on therapy. Identification of drug involvement and differentiation from other illnesses is problematic, although radiological manifestations and clinical tests enable many of the alternative causes of symptoms in advanced NSCLC to be excluded. In lung cancer patients, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is more sensitive than a chest radiograph in evaluating the severity and progression of parenchymal lung disease. Indeed, the use of HRCT imaging has led to the recognition of many distinct patterns of lung involvement and, along with clinical signs and symptoms, helps to predict both outcome and response to treatment. This manuscript outlines the radiology of drug-associated ILD and its differential diagnosis in NSCLC. An algorithm that uses clinical tests to exclude alternative diagnoses is also described.

Project description:The lung is a common site of complications of systemic connective tissue disease (CTD), and lung involvement can present in several ways. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension are the most common lung manifestations in CTD. Although it is generally thought that interstitial lung disease develops later on in CTD it is often the initial presentation ("lung dominant" CTD). ILD can be present in most types of CTD, including rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis or dermatomyositis, Sjögren's syndrome, and mixed connective tissue disease. Despite similarities in clinical and pathologic presentation, the prognosis and treatment of CTD associated ILD (CTD-ILD) can differ greatly from that of other forms of ILD, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can present as a primary vasculopathy in pulmonary arterial hypertension or in association with ILD (PH-ILD). Therefore, detailed history, physical examination, targeted serologic testing, and, occasionally, lung biopsy are needed to diagnose CTD-ILD, whereas both non-invasive and invasive assessments of pulmonary hemodynamics are needed to diagnose pulmonary hypertension. Immunosuppression is the mainstay of treatment for ILD, although data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to support specific treatments are lacking. Furthermore, treatment strategies vary according to the clinical situation-for example, the treatment of a patient newly diagnosed as having CTD-ILD differs from that of someone with an acute exacerbation of the disease. Immunosuppression is indicated only in select cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension related to CTD; more commonly, selective pulmonary vasodilators are used. For both diseases, comorbidities such as sleep disordered breathing, symptoms of dyspnea, and cough should be evaluated and treated. Lung transplantation should be considered in patients with advanced disease but is not always feasible because of other manifestations of CTD and comorbidities. Clinical trials of novel therapies including immunosuppressive therapies are needed to inform best treatment strategies.
