Background: Treatment for lung cancer can improve prognosis, but 5-year survival remains low at 26%. An examination of treatment using data with higher population coverage, and among a broader number of treatment modalities and individual characteristics, would provide greater insight into differences in lung cancer treatment.

Research question: Among adults diagnosed with lung cancer, how does reported receipt of lung cancer treatment differ by sociodemographic characteristics?

Study design and methods: We used 2015-2020 National Program of Cancer Registry data covering 89% of the US population to describe first-course treatment among persons ages ≥20 years diagnosed with lung and bronchus cancer. We performed multivariable logistic regression to examine associations between sociodemographic characteristics and treatment received.

Results: Among 1,068,155 people diagnosed with lung cancer, 22% received surgery, 41% received chemotherapy, 40% received radiation, 13% received immunotherapy, and 75% received at least one of the four treatments. People who were ages >45 years (odds ratio [OR] range=0.08-0.67); American Indian or Alaska Native (OR=0.82; 95% CI: 0.77-0.87), Black (OR=0.82; 95% CI: 0.81-0.84), or Hispanic (OR=0.80; 95% CI: 0.78-0.82); resided in a non-metropolitan county (OR=0.98; 0.96-0.99); resided in the bottom 25% (OR=0.80; 95% CI: 0.78-0.81) and middle 50% (OR=0.87; 95% CI: 0.86-0.88) of counties by economic status (considers unemployment rate, per capita market income, and poverty rate); and in the West US census region (OR=0.95; 95% CI: 0.94-0.97) had significantly lower odds of receiving at least one of the four treatments.

Interpretation: Chemotherapy and radiation were the most common types of first-course treatment reported. Receipt of at least one of the four treatments examined was lower among several groups, including certain racial and ethnic groups and those residing in counties with lower economic status. Future studies might further identify and intervene upon factors underlying differences.

背景:肺癌治疗可改善预后,但 5 年生存率仍然很低,仅为 26%。利用人口覆盖率更高的数据、更广泛的治疗方式和个人特征对治疗情况进行检查,将能更深入地了解肺癌治疗的差异:研究设计和方法:我们利用 2015-2020 年美国国家癌症登记计划数据(覆盖 89% 的美国人口)来描述年龄≥20 岁的肺癌和支气管癌确诊患者的首次治疗情况。我们进行了多变量逻辑回归,以研究社会人口特征与接受治疗之间的关联:在 1,068,155 名确诊为肺癌的患者中,22% 接受了手术治疗,41% 接受了化疗,40% 接受了放疗,13% 接受了免疫治疗,75% 接受了上述四种治疗中的至少一种。年龄大于45岁(几率比[OR]范围=0.08-0.67)、美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民(OR=0.82;95% CI:0.77-0.87)、黑人(OR=0.82;95% CI:0.81-0.84)或西班牙裔(OR=0.80;95% CI:0.78-0.82)、居住在非大城市县(OR=0.98;0.96-0.99)、居住在底层25%(OR=0.80;95% CI:0.78-0.81)和中等50%(OR=0.87;95% CI:0.86-0.88)的县域经济状况(考虑失业率、人均市场收入和贫困率);以及美国西部人口普查地区(OR=0.95;95% CI:0.94-0.97)的患者接受四种治疗中至少一种治疗的几率显著较低:化疗和放疗是所报告的最常见的首诊治疗类型。在一些群体中,包括某些种族和民族群体以及那些居住在经济地位较低县城的人,接受四种治疗中至少一种治疗的几率较低。未来的研究可能会进一步确定和干预造成差异的因素。

Background: Lower respiratory tract infections are common in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after an acute brain injury and may have deleterious consequences.

Research question: In adults with acute brain injury receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in an ICU, is the administration of prophylactic parenteral antibiotics, compared to placebo or usual care, associated with reduced mortality?

Study design and methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched for randomised clinical trials (RCTs) in electronic databases, as well as unpublished trials. The primary outcome was hospital mortality, secondary outcomes included the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia, ICU length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation. We used a random effects model to estimate the pooled risk ratio (RR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) for binary outcomes and the mean difference (MD) with 95% CI for continuous outcomes. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE methods.

Results: There were 1728 reports of studies screened, with 7 RCTs recruiting 835 participants included. No trials were adjudicated as having a high risk of bias. The pooled estimated risk ratio (RR) for mortality associated with the use of prophylactic antibiotics was 0.91 (95% CI 0.70 to 1.17, p=0.39, low certainty). The pooled estimated RR for ventilator associated pneumonia was 0.56 (95% CI 0.35 to 0.89, low certainty). The pooled estimated duration of mechanical ventilation for those allocated to prophylactic antibiotics compared to control (mean difference (MD) -2.0 days, 95% CI -6.1 to 2.1, very low certainty) and duration of ICU admission (MD -2.2 days, 95% CI -5.4 to 1.1 days, very low certainty) were similar.

Interpretation: Current evidence from randomised clinical trials does not provide definitive evidence regarding the effect of prophylactic antibiotics on mortality in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU.

背景:下呼吸道感染是急性脑损伤后在重症监护病房(ICU)接受有创机械通气的患者的常见病,可能会造成不良后果:下呼吸道感染是急性脑损伤后在重症监护病房(ICU)接受有创机械通气的患者的常见病,可能会产生有害后果:研究问题:在重症监护室接受有创机械通气的急性脑损伤成人患者中,与安慰剂或常规护理相比,预防性肠外抗生素的应用是否与死亡率的降低有关?我们进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。我们在电子数据库中搜索了随机临床试验(RCT)以及未发表的试验。主要结果是住院死亡率,次要结果包括呼吸机相关肺炎的发生率、重症监护室的住院时间和机械通气的持续时间。对于二元结局,我们使用随机效应模型估算了汇总风险比 (RR) 和相应的 95% 置信区间 (CI);对于连续结局,我们估算了平均差 (MD) 和 95% 置信区间 (CI)。采用 GRADE 方法对证据的确定性进行了评估:结果:共筛选出 1728 份研究报告,其中包括 7 项招募了 835 名参与者的 RCT。没有一项试验被判定为存在高偏倚风险。与使用预防性抗生素相关的死亡率的汇总估计风险比(RR)为 0.91(95% CI 0.70 至 1.17,P=0.39,低确定性)。呼吸机相关肺炎的汇总估计RR为0.56(95% CI为0.35至0.89,确定性较低)。与对照组相比,被分配使用预防性抗生素的患者的机械通气持续时间(平均差异(MD)-2.0 天,95% CI -6.1-2.1,确定性极低)和入住 ICU 的持续时间(MD -2.2 天,95% CI -5.4-1.1天,确定性极低)的汇总估计值相似:目前来自随机临床试验的证据并未就预防性抗生素对在重症监护室接受有创机械通气患者死亡率的影响提供确切证据。

Background: Serum anti-glycopeptidolipid (GPL) core immunoglobuin A (IgA) antibody test has been proposed as a diagnostic tool for Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary diseases. Cross-reactivity with other non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), including M. abscessus, indicates that it may have a role as a broader screening test for NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). NTM-PD is believed to be underdiagnosed in patients with bronchiectasis.

Research question: Can the serum anti-GPL core IgA antibody test be used to screen for NTM-PD in bronchiectasis?

Study design and methods: Patients from the prospective European Bronchiectasis Registry (EMBARC-BRIDGE; NCT03791086) were enrolled. Patients from the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany were included. A control cohort of patients without any underlying lung disease was also recruited. The levels of serum IgA antibodies against the GPL core were measured using an enzyme immunoassay kit, and receiver operating characteristics curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the antibody level in screening for NTM-PD.

Results: 282 patients were enrolled (151 [53.6%] female, median age 68 years). Median (quartile 1-3) anti-GPL-core IgA antibody levels were 0.2 (0.1-0.3) U/mL in patients without NTM isolation and NTM-PD (n=238), 0.3 (0.2-0.4) U/mL in NTM isolation that were incompatible with the diagnosis of NTM-PD (n=18) and 1.5 (0.4-6.2) U/mL in NTM-PD (n=26) (P=0.0001). Antibody levels showed excellent accuracy in identifying patients with NTM-PD (area under the curve 0.886, 95% CI 0.800-0.973) in bronchiectasis cohort and also showed excellent discrimination of patients with NTM-PD from those with NTM isolation who did not meet the diagnostic criteria for NTM-PD (0.816, 95% CI 0.687-0.945).

Interpretation: The anti-GPL-core IgA antibody demonstrated excellent efficacy in screening for NTM-PD in a large bronchiectasis cohort.

背景:血清抗甘肽多脂(GPL)核心免疫球蛋白A(IgA)抗体检测已被提议作为复合分枝杆菌肺部疾病的诊断工具。它与包括脓肿分枝杆菌在内的其他非结核分枝杆菌(NTM)的交叉反应表明,它可以作为更广泛的非结核分枝杆菌肺病(NTM-PD)筛查试验。据信,支气管扩张症患者的 NTM-PD 诊断不足:研究问题:血清抗 GPL 核心 IgA 抗体检测能否用于筛查支气管扩张症患者的 NTM-PD?前瞻性欧洲支气管扩张注册(EMBARC-BRIDGE;NCT03791086)中的患者被纳入研究。研究对象包括来自英国、意大利、西班牙、比利时、荷兰和德国的患者。同时还招募了没有任何潜在肺部疾病的对照组患者。使用酶联免疫测定试剂盒测定了血清中针对 GPL 核心的 IgA 抗体水平,并进行了接收器操作特征曲线分析,以评估抗体水平在筛查 NTM-PD 中的准确性。在未分离出 NTM 和 NTM-PD 的患者中,抗 GPL 核心 IgA 抗体水平中位数(1-3 分位)为 0.2 (0.1-0.3) U/mL(n=238);在分离出 NTM 但不符合 NTM-PD 诊断的患者中,抗 GPL 核心 IgA 抗体水平中位数为 0.3 (0.2-0.4) U/mL(n=18);在 NTM-PD 患者中,抗 GPL 核心 IgA 抗体水平中位数为 1.5 (0.4-6.2) U/mL(n=26)(P=0.0001)。在支气管扩张症队列中,抗体水平在鉴别 NTM-PD 患者方面显示出极佳的准确性(曲线下面积 0.886,95% CI 0.800-0.973),同时还显示出对 NTM-PD 患者与不符合 NTM-PD 诊断标准的 NTM 分离患者的极佳区分度(0.816,95% CI 0.687-0.945):抗 GPL 核心 IgA 抗体在大型支气管扩张症队列中筛查 NTM-PD 的效果非常好。

A 72-year-old gentleman with metastatic pancreatic cancer was admitted to the ICU with increased oxygen demand and confusion, likely related to pulmonary metastases. In the presence of his son, the healthcare agent, and the team, the patient requested to be do-not-attempt-resuscitation and do-not-intubate (DNR/DNI) before losing decision-making capacity. When the patient's brother and another son heard of the code status change, they insisted on a return to Full Code. Although the youngest son (the healthcare agent) was present for the patient's request to be DNR/DNI, he declined to represent the patient's wishes and agreed with a return to Full Code. Numerous discussions over subsequent days revolved around the attempt to honor the patient's wishes in the setting of the surrogate's unwillingness or inability to make decisions in alignment with his father's wishes. This case reviews and analyzes the ethical options available to the clinical team in responding to requests for potentially inappropriate treatment at a patient's end of life, and explores the roles of relational autonomy, beneficence vs nonmaleficence, and holding the balance of clinicians' and ethicists' professional, legal, and ethical responsibilities.

一名患有转移性胰腺癌的 72 岁男性患者在入住重症监护病房时出现了氧需求增加和意识模糊的症状,这很可能与肺转移有关。在其儿子、医护人员和团队在场的情况下,患者要求在丧失决策能力之前不进行人工呼吸和不插管(DNR/DNI)。当患者的兄弟和另一个儿子听说代码状态发生变化时,他们坚持要求恢复到完全代码状态。尽管最小的儿子(医疗代理人)在患者要求 DNR/DNI 时在场,但他拒绝代表患者的意愿,并同意恢复完全代码。随后几天的多次讨论都围绕着在代理人不愿或无法按照其父亲的意愿做出决定的情况下如何尊重患者的意愿展开。本病例回顾并分析了临床团队在应对患者生命末期可能不适当的治疗请求时可供选择的伦理方案,并探讨了关系自主、受益与非受益的作用,以及临床医生和伦理学家在专业、法律和伦理责任之间的平衡。

Background: Evaluating expiratory airway function in infants is challenging, as the gold standard, the raised-volume rapid thoraco-abdominal compression technique is technically difficult and has a high failure rate.

Research question: Are measurements obtained during passive expiration from total lung capacity correlated with forced expiration measurements obtained by the raised-volume technique in infants?

Study design and methods: This observational retrospective analysis included infants born ≥ 36 weeks gestation who underwent pulmonary function testing using the raised-volume rapid thoraco-abdominal compression technique at Hadassah Medical Centre between January 2011 and December 2019. Technically acceptable forced and passive flow-volume curve measurements were included in the analysis.

Results: Out of 296 eligible infants, 276 (93%) had technically acceptable passive flow-volume curves while 226 (76%) had acceptable forced curves (p<0.001). The success rate of producing an acceptable curve was 70% for the passive curves and 39% for forced curves (p < 0.001). The Spearman correlation coefficients of vital capacity, expiratory volumes at 0.5 second, maximal expiratory flows, and expiratory flows at 50%, 75% and 85% of vital capacity were 0.92, 0.72, 0.83, 0.66, 0.67, 0.68, respectively (n= 226; p<0.001 for all). The correlation remained high regardless of the level of expiratory airway obstruction, gender or age. The mean inter-maneuver coefficients of variation were fairly low for both methods (5.2% vs 5.4%, p=NS).

Interpretation: The passive flow-volume curve offers reliable and reproducible data with high correlation to the forced flow-volume curve. Therefore, the passive flow-volume curve can serve as an alternative tool in evaluating expiratory airway function in infants.

背景:评估婴儿呼气道功能具有挑战性,因为作为金标准的快速胸腹加压技术在技术上难度很大,而且失败率很高:研究问题:在婴儿被动呼气时获得的总肺活量测量值与通过提高容积技术获得的用力呼气测量值是否相关?这项观察性回顾分析包括 2011 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间在哈大沙医疗中心使用升高容积快速胸腹压迫技术进行肺功能测试的妊娠≥36 周的婴儿。技术上可接受的强迫和被动血流-容积曲线测量结果均纳入分析:在 296 名符合条件的婴儿中,276 名(93%)婴儿的被动血流-容积曲线在技术上是可接受的,226 名(76%)婴儿的被迫血流-容积曲线是可接受的(p解释):被动流量-容积曲线提供了可靠、可重复的数据,与强迫流量-容积曲线高度相关。因此,被动流量-容积曲线可作为评估婴儿呼气道功能的替代工具。

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management is guided by the respiratory symptom burden, assessed using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale and/or COPD Assessment Test (CAT).

Research question: What is the ability of mMRC and CAT to detect abnormally high exertional breathlessness on incremental cardiopulmonary cycle exercise testing (CPET) in people with COPD?

Study design and methods: Analysis of people aged ≥40 years with post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC<0.70 and ≥10 smoking pack-years from the Canadian Cohort Obstructive Lung Disease study. Abnormal exertional breathlessness was defined as a breathlessness (Borg 0-10) intensity rating > upper limit of normal (ULN) at the symptom-limited peak of CPET using normative reference equations.

Results: We included 318 people with COPD (40% women), age 66.5±9.3 years (mean±SD), FEV1 79.5±19.0%predicted; 26% had abnormally low exercise capacity (V'O2peak

Interpretation: In COPD, mMRC and CAT have low concordance with CPET and fail to identify many people with abnormally high exertional breathlessness.

Single-inhaler triple versus LABA-ICS therapy for COPD: Comparative safety in real-world clinical practice. 单吸入器三联疗法与 LABA-ICS 治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病:真实世界临床实践中的安全性比较。

Background: Recent treatment guidelines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have replaced the long-acting beta2-agonist and inhaled corticosteroid (LABA-ICS) combination with single-inhaler triple therapy that adds a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA-LABA-ICS). Yet, the corresponding trials reported numerically higher incidences of cardiovascular adverse events with triple therapy compared with LABA-ICS.

Research question: Does single-inhaler triple therapy increase the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, compared with LABA-ICS, in a real-world clinical practice setting?

Study design and methods: We identified a cohort of COPD patients, 40 years or older, treated during 2017-2021, from the United Kingdom's Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Among LAMA-naïve patients, initiators of single-inhaler triple therapy were matched 1:1 to LABA-ICS users on time-conditional propensity scores. They were compared on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as hospitalization for myocardial infarction or stroke, or all-cause-mortality, over one year.

Results: The cohort included 10,255 initiators of triple therapy and 10,255 matched users of LABA-ICS. The incidence rate of MACE was 11.3 per 100 per year with triple therapy compared with 8.7 per 100 per year for LABA-ICS. The corresponding adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of MACE with triple therapy was 1.28 (95% CI: 1.05-1.55), relative to LABA-ICS, though the increase was mainly in the first four months (HR 1.41; 95%CI: 1.14-1.74). The HR of all-cause death was 1.31 (95% CI: 1.06-1.62), while for acute myocardial infarction and stroke hospitalization it was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.56-1.79) and 1.06 (95% CI: 0.48-2.36), respectively, with triple therapy, relative to LABA-ICS.

Interpretation: In a real-world setting of COPD treatment, patients who initiated single-inhaler triple therapy had an increased incidence of MACE compared with similar patients treated with a LABA-ICS inhaler. This small increase was due to the all-cause mortality component, occurring mainly in the first four months after treatment initiation.

背景:最新的慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)治疗指南用添加长效毒蕈碱类拮抗剂的单吸入器三联疗法(LAMA-LABA-ICS)取代了长效β2-受体激动剂和吸入性皮质类固醇(LABA-ICS)组合疗法。然而,据相应试验报告,与 LABA-ICS 相比,三联疗法的心血管不良事件发生率更高:研究问题:在实际临床实践中,与 LABA-ICS 相比,单吸入器三联疗法是否会增加主要心血管不良事件的发生率?我们从英国临床实践研究数据链(Clinical Practice Research Datalink)中确定了一组在 2017-2021 年期间接受治疗的 40 岁或以上 COPD 患者。在对 LAMA 不敏感的患者中,单吸入器三联疗法的启动者与 LABA-ICS 使用者根据时间条件倾向评分进行了 1:1 匹配。比较了他们一年内主要不良心血管事件(MACE)的发生率,MACE的定义是心肌梗死或中风住院或全因死亡:队列中包括10255名开始使用三联疗法的患者和10255名匹配的LABA-ICS使用者。三联疗法的MACE发生率为每年11.3/100,而LABA-ICS为每年8.7/100。相对于LABA-ICS,三联疗法发生MACE的相应调整后危险比(HR)为1.28(95% CI:1.05-1.55),但增加主要出现在前四个月(HR 1.41;95% CI:1.14-1.74)。相对于LABA-ICS,三联疗法的全因死亡HR为1.31(95% CI:1.06-1.62),急性心肌梗死和中风住院HR分别为1.00(95% CI:0.56-1.79)和1.06(95% CI:0.48-2.36):在慢性阻塞性肺疾病的真实治疗环境中,与使用LABA-ICS吸入器治疗的类似患者相比,使用单吸入器三联疗法的患者MACE发生率增加。这种小幅增加主要是由于全因死亡率,主要发生在开始治疗后的前四个月。

The Advanced Practice Respiratory Therapist (APRT) is a new healthcare practitioner trained to provide a scope of practice that exceeds that of the registered respiratory therapist (RRT) and is aligned with an advanced practice provider (APP) role. As part of a physician-led team, APRTs are trained to provide diagnostic and therapeutic patient care services in multiple settings across the health care spectrum, including critical care, acute and sub-acute inpatient care, and outpatient care such as preventative, ambulatory, and chronic care. Competency domains that must be included in accredited APRT education programs include medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, patient care, professionalism, practice-based learning and improvement, and systems-based practice. Some of the individual competencies included in these domains must be incorporated into didactic coursework, some into laboratory and simulation activities, and all competencies must be incorporated into clinical coursework. Pre-clinical preparation of the APRT student includes coursework with other APP students and other health professions students, and courses created specifically to address the required competency domains. APRT students also complete a variety of patient simulations using standardized patients, task trainers, and patient simulators to ensure they are prepared to complete clinical education. The clinical courses include a minimum of 1,200 hours of supervised practice by a licensed physician in outpatient clinics, interventional pulmonology, inpatient pulmonary services, peri-operative services, and intensive care units. The APRT is trained to assess patients, develop care plans, order, evaluate and modify care based on each patient's response, and can be incorporated as a valuable member of the cardiopulmonary patient care team.

高级实践呼吸治疗师 (APRT) 是一种新的医疗从业人员,经过培训后,其执业范围超过了注册呼吸治疗师 (RRT) 的执业范围,并与高级实践医疗提供者 (APP) 的角色相一致。作为以医生为主导的团队的一部分,APRT 接受培训后可在医疗保健范围内的多种环境中为患者提供诊断和治疗服务,包括重症护理、急性和亚急性住院护理以及门诊护理,如预防性护理、非住院护理和慢性病护理。经认证的 APRT 教育计划必须包含的能力领域包括医学知识、人际关系和沟通技巧、患者护理、职业精神、基于实践的学习和改进以及基于系统的实践。这些领域中的某些能力必须纳入教学课程,某些能力必须纳入实验室和模拟活动,而所有能力都必须纳入临床课程。亚太地区康复治疗师(APRT)学生的临床前准备包括与其他亚太地区康复治疗师(APRT)学生和其他健康专业学生一起学习的课程,以及专门针对所需能力领域开设的课程。APRT 学生还使用标准化病人、任务训练器和病人模拟器完成各种病人模拟训练,以确保他们为完成临床教育做好准备。临床课程包括至少 1200 小时由执业医师在门诊诊所、介入肺病学、住院肺病服务、围手术期服务和重症监护室指导的实践。APRT 接受的培训包括评估患者、制定护理计划、下达医嘱、评估和根据每位患者的反应修改护理方案,并可成为心肺患者护理团队的重要成员。

Introduction: Aspergillus sp. cause diverse clinical manifestations in bronchiectasis including Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), Aspergillus sensitization (AS) and raised IgG indicating exposure or infection with Aspergillus.

Research question: What is the prevalence and clinical significance of Aspergillus-associated conditions in individuals with bronchiectasis?

Methods: Bronchiectasis patients enrolled into the EMBARC registry from 2015 to 2022 with laboratory testing for Aspergillus lung disease (total IgE, specific IgE to Aspergillus or Aspergillus skin test, IgG to Aspergillus and blood eosinophil counts) were included for analysis. Modified-ISHAM-ABPA working group criteria (2021) were used to define ABPA.

Results: 9953 patients were included. 608 (6.1%) were classified as having ABPA, 570 (5.7%) showed Aspergillus sensitization, 806 (8.1%) had raised Aspergillus-specific IgG without sensitisation, 184 (1.8%) were both sensitised to Aspergillus and had raised Aspergillus-specific IgG and 619 (6.2%) had eosinophilic bronchiectasis (elevated eosinophil counts without evidence of Aspergillus lung disease). The remaining 72.0% had negative Aspergillus serology. Patients with ABPA, Aspergillus sensitization, and raised Aspergillus-specific IgG had more severe disease, with worse lung function and more frequent exacerbations at baseline. During long-term follow-up, patients with raised Aspergillus-specific IgG had higher exacerbation frequency and more severe exacerbations. Aspergillus sensitization associated with increased exacerbations and hospitalisations only in patients not receiving inhaled corticosteroids.

Interpretation: Aspergillus lung disease is common in bronchiectasis. Raised IgG to Aspergillus is associated with significantly worse outcomes while ABPA and Aspergillus sensitization are associated with severe disease and exacerbations with a risk that is attenuated by inhaled corticosteroid use.

导言:曲霉菌会导致支气管扩张症患者出现多种临床表现,包括过敏性支气管肺曲霉菌病(ABPA)、曲霉菌致敏(AS)以及表明曲霉菌暴露或感染的IgG升高:研究问题:支气管扩张症患者中曲霉菌相关疾病的发病率和临床意义如何?纳入2015年至2022年EMBARC注册的支气管扩张症患者,对其进行曲霉菌肺病实验室检测(总IgE、曲霉菌特异性IgE或曲霉菌皮试、曲霉菌IgG和血液嗜酸性粒细胞计数)进行分析。采用改良-ISHAM-ABPA 工作组标准(2021 年)来定义 ABPA:结果:共纳入 9953 例患者。结果:共纳入 9953 例患者,其中 608 例(6.1%)被归类为 ABPA,570 例(5.7%)表现为曲霉菌致敏,806 例(8.1%)曲霉菌特异性 IgG 升高但未致敏,184 例(1.8%)既对曲霉菌致敏又有曲霉菌特异性 IgG 升高,619 例(6.2%)为嗜酸粒细胞性支气管扩张(嗜酸粒细胞计数升高但无曲霉菌肺病证据)。其余 72.0% 的患者曲霉菌血清学检测呈阴性。ABPA、曲霉菌致敏和曲霉菌特异性 IgG 升高的患者病情更严重,肺功能更差,基线病情加重更频繁。在长期随访中,曲霉菌特异性 IgG 升高的患者病情加重的频率更高,病情加重的程度也更严重。只有在未接受吸入皮质类固醇治疗的患者中,曲霉菌致敏才会导致病情加重和住院次数增加:曲霉菌肺病在支气管扩张症中很常见。曲霉菌 IgG 升高与明显恶化的预后有关,而 ABPA 和曲霉菌致敏与严重疾病和病情恶化有关,吸入皮质类固醇可降低这种风险。
