Prevalence, risk factors, and prognosis of interstitial lung disease in a large cohort of Chinese primary Sjogren syndrome patients: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT: To determine the prevalence of pulmonary complications in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS), and to identify the risk factors and the prognosis associated with pulmonary involvement in pSS patients.A total of 1341 hospitalized patients (853 with pSS and 488 with secondary Sjögren syndrome [sSS]) were retrospectively reviewed. Of these, 165 hospitalized patients with pSS-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) were analyzed and recruited as a study group. Eighty-four pSS patients without organ damage were included as a control group.One hundred and sixty-five patients (19.34%) from the pSS group and 126 patients (25.82%) from the sSS group presented with lung involvement. Of the 165 pSS patients with lung complications, 151 (91.5%) were women. The mean age was 61.25?±?9.79 years, and the median disease duration was 84 (24-156) months. Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP; 39.1%) was the predominant pattern on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The total HRCT score was 9.71?±?4.77. Impairment in diffusion capacity was the most common (74.3%) and severe complication (predicted value of TLCO was 57.5?±?21.2%). The 5-year survival rate for all patients with pSS-ILD was 88.5%. Age, disease duration, rheumatoid factor (RF), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were significantly higher than in controls, whereas anti-SSA was less common. Age, RF, and CRP were independent predictors of ILD after adjustment for confounders.Lung involvement is a common and severe complication of Sjögren syndrome. Age and disease activity are correlated with pulmonary involvement in pSS patients.

Project description:Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) may cause life-threatening complications of primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS), and has a poor prognosis in terms of survival and quality of life. To date, few studies have investigated the risk factors for ILD detected by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in pSS patients with or without respiratory symptoms. Methods Data of 333 patients with newly diagnosed pSS were retrospectively analysed. Interstitial lung disease involvement was defined as typical abnormalities on HRCT and/or pulmonary function tests. Multivariate regression model was used to evaluate the association between interstitial lung disease and pSS characteristics. Results Sixty-six patients (19.82%) were diagnosed with pSS-ILD. Ground glass opacities (87.88%) and septal/sub pleural lines (81.82%) were most frequent. Based on pulmonary high-resolution computed tomography, patients were divided into nonspecific (n = 42), usual (n = 20), lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (n = 3) and cryptogenic organising pneumonia (n = 1) groups. There was a strong association between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)/C-reactive protein (CRP) and the HRCT-score. Pulmonary function tests revealed impaired diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide and total lung capacity, and coexistence of small airway lesions in pSS-interstitial lung disease. On logistic regression analysis, age, Raynaud’s phenomenon, lymphopenia, cough, dyspnoea and rampant dental caries were risk factors associated with pSS-interstitial lung disease. Conclusions Interstitial lung disease involvement in pSS is a common clinical occurrence. The clinical manifestation is nonspecific and variable; Raynaud’s phenomenon and lymphopenia may predict its onset. pSS patients with advanced age, dry cough and dyspnoea should be systematically evaluated for ILD involvement and managed according to their symptoms.

Project description:Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate serum biomarkers linked to primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD). Methods 69 pSS patients were consecutively enrolled and evaluated via quantitative ILD scoring based on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Biomarkers of interest were assessed by multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Results Among consecutively enrolled patients with pSS, the presence of pSS–ILD was 50% based on the presence of radiographically defined interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) meeting specified criteria for mild/moderate (ILA 2) or severe (ILA 3) disease. Age, immunoglobulin M (IgM), C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum levels of eotaxin/CCL11, Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), TNFα, and TGFα were significantly higher in the combined pSS–ILD group (ILA 2 + ILA 3) than in the pSS–no-ILD and pSS–indeterminate ILD groups (ILA 0 and ILA 1, respectively) in unadjusted analyses (p < 0.05 for all variables). A binary logistic regression model revealed that disease duration and KL-6 levels were associated with the presence of pSS–ILD (p < 0.05). Complementary least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) modeling showed that age, KL-6, and TNF-α effectively differentiated pSS–ILD (ILA 2 + ILA3) from pSS without ILD (ILA 0 + ILA 1), with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.883 (p value < 0.0001). Conclusions Patient age, disease duration, and serum levels of both KL-6 and TNFα were the most discriminating factors associated with the presence of ILD in our pSS patients. Higher levels of CRP, IgM, eotaxin, TGFα, and TNFα should also prompt the search for occult as well as clinically evident lung involvement based on statistically significant univariate associations with pSS–ILD.

Project description:Background/Objectives: The prevalence of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and risk factors for its development in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) are still debated, possibly due to the existence of heterogeneous pSS-related ILD phenotypes. The aims of this study were: 1. To investigate the prevalence and predictive factors for ILD development in a single-center pSS cohort; 2. To characterize different pSS-ILD phenotypes. Methods: Clinical, laboratory and imaging data of pSS patients attending our center from January 2019 to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. ILD presence was confirmed on HRCT. Results: Forty-three out of 474 enrolled pSS patients presented ILD (M:F = 6:37), accounting for an overall ILD prevalence of 9.1%. In 19 cases, ILD was the first manifestation of pSS (ILD-onset), while in 24 ILD was diagnosed after pSS (ILD-incident). Compared to ILD-onset, ILD-incident patients more often presented pSS-related hematologic abnormalities (p = 0.012), cutaneous involvement (p = 0.027), inflammatory arthralgias (p = 0.026), C4 hypocomplementemia (p = 0.012) and positive RF (p = 0.031). On the other hand, ILD-onset patients were significantly older at pSS diagnosis (p = 0.008) and presented more severe fibrosis on HRCT (p = 0.008). On the univariate analysis, higher ESSDAI (p = 0.011), Raynaud's phenomenon (p = 0.009), anti-Ro52 (p = 0.031), hypergammaglobulinemia (p = 0.011), Rheumatoid Factor (RF) (p = 0.038) and C4 hypocomplementemia (p = 0.044) at baseline were associated to ILD development during follow-up. On the multivariate analysis, the ESSDAI at baseline (p = 0.05) and Raynaud's phenomenon (p = 0.013) at baseline were the only independent predictors of ILD development. Conclusions: ILD is a relatively common and clinically heterogenous pSS manifestation. Elevated disease activity at pSS onset is a risk factor for ILD development, prompting careful follow-up and intriguingly suggesting that immunomodulatory therapies may prevent ILD.
