Systematic Reporting of Eosinophils in Transbronchial Biopsies After Lung Transplantation Defines a Distinct Inflammatory Response.
Background: Descriptions of eosinophils in transbronchial biopsy (TBBx) pathology reports after lung transplantation (LTx) are associated with poor long-term outcomes. The absence of routine reporting and standardization precludes accurate assessment of this histologic predictor. A systematic reporting scheme for the presence of TBBx eosinophils after LTx was implemented. This report aims to assess this scheme by describing the presence, pattern, and gradation of TBBx eosinophils and clinical associations.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of all TBBx reports was performed including all patients presenting for a surveillance or diagnostic TBBx between January 2020 and June 2023. Each TBBx was systematically reported in a blinded manner. Mixed-effects logistic regression was performed to measure the association between concurrent clinical and histologic features, and the presence of TBBx eosinophils.
Results: A total of 410 TBBx reports from 201 patients were systematically reported. In 43.8% recipients, any TBBx eosinophils were detected and in 17.1% recipients, higher-grade eosinophils (≥3 per high power field) were present. Adjusted analysis showed that retransplantation, A- and B-grade cellular rejection, positive bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) bacterial microbiology, and elevated blood eosinophil count were independently associated with the presence of any TBBx eosinophils. Diagnostic "for-cause" procedures were independently associated with higher quantities of TBBx eosinophils.
Conclusions: Systematic reporting demonstrates that TBBx eosinophils are a distinct inflammatory response associated with rejection, infection, and peripheral eosinophilia. Although these findings require multicenter external validation, standardized reporting for TBBx eosinophils may assist in identifying recipients at risk of poor outcomes and provides a platform for mechanistic research into their role after lung transplantation.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of The Transplantation Society, and the International Liver Transplantation Society, Transplantation is published monthly and is the most cited and influential journal in the field, with more than 25,000 citations per year.
Transplantation has been the trusted source for extensive and timely coverage of the most important advances in transplantation for over 50 years. The Editors and Editorial Board are an international group of research and clinical leaders that includes many pioneers of the field, representing a diverse range of areas of expertise. This capable editorial team provides thoughtful and thorough peer review, and delivers rapid, careful and insightful editorial evaluation of all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
Transplantation is committed to rapid review and publication. The journal remains competitive with a time to first decision of fewer than 21 days. Transplantation was the first in the field to offer CME credit to its peer reviewers for reviews completed.
The journal publishes original research articles in original clinical science and original basic science. Short reports bring attention to research at the forefront of the field. Other areas covered include cell therapy and islet transplantation, immunobiology and genomics, and xenotransplantation.
