RESUMO

Beyond the acute infection of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), concern has arisen about long-term effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The aim of our study was to analyze if there is any biomarker of fibrogenesis in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia capable of predicting post-COVID-19 pulmonary sequelae. We conducted a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study of patients admitted to a hospital with bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia. We classified patients into two groups according to severity, and blood sampling to measure matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1), MMP-7, periostin, and VEGF and respiratory function tests and high-resolution computed tomography were performed at 2 and 12 months after hospital discharge. A total of 135 patients were evaluated at 12 months. Their median age was 61 (interquartile range, 19) years, and 58.5% were men. We found between-group differences in age, radiological involvement, length of hospital stay, and inflammatory laboratory parameters. Differences were found between 2 and 12 months in all functional tests, including improvements in predicted forced vital capacity (98.0% vs. 103.9%; P = 0.001) and DlCO <80% (60.9% vs. 39.7%; P = 0.001). At 12 months, 63% of patients had complete high-resolution computed tomography resolution, but fibrotic changes persisted in 29.4%. Biomarker analysis demonstrated differences at 2 months in periostin (0.8893 vs. 1.437 ng/ml; P < 0.001) and MMP-7 (8.7249 vs. 15.2181 ng/ml; P < 0.001). No differences were found at 12 months. In multivariable analysis, only 2-month periostin was associated with 12-month fibrotic changes (odds ratio, 1.0013; 95% confidence interval, 1.0006-1.00231; P = 0.003) and 12-month DlCO impairment (odds ratio, 1.0006; 95% confidence interval, 1.0000-1.0013; P = 0.047). Our data suggest that early periostin postdischarge could predict the presence of fibrotic pulmonary changes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has already affected more than 400 million people, with increasing numbers of survivors. These data indicate that a myriad of people may be affected by pulmonary sequelae of the infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate pulmonary sequelae in patients with bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia according to severity 1 year after hospital discharge. METHODS: COVID-FIBROTIC is a multicenter prospective observational cohort study for admitted patients with bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia. Pulmonary functional outcomes and chest computed tomography sequelae were analyzed 12 months after hospital discharge and we classified patients into three groups according to severity. A post hoc analysis model was designed to establish how functional test changed between groups and over time. A multivariable logistic regression model was created to study prognostic factors for lung diffusion impairment and radiological fibrotic-like changes at 12 months. RESULTS: Among 488 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, 284 patients had completed the entire evaluation at 12 months. Median age was 60.5 ± 11.9 and 55.3% were men. We found between-group differences in male sex, length of hospital stay, radiological involvement and inflammatory laboratory parameters. The functional evaluation of pulmonary sequelae showed that severe patients had statistically worse levels of lung diffusion at 2 months but no between group differences were found in subsequent controls. At 12-month follow up, however, we found impaired lung diffusion in 39.8% unrelated to severity. Radiological fibrotic-like changes at 12 months were reported in 22.7% of patients (102/448), only associated with radiological involvement at admission (OR: 1.55, 95% CI 1.06-2.38; p = 0.02) and LDH (OR: 0.99, 95% CI 0.98-0.99; p = 0.046). CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that a significant percentage of individuals would develop pulmonary sequelae after COVID 19 pneumonia, regardless of severity of the acute process.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Real-world data regarding rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its association with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is still scarce. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of RA and ILD in patients with RA (RAILD) in Spain, and to compare clinical characteristics of patients with RA with and without ILD using natural language processing (NLP) on electronic health records (EHR). METHODS: Observational case-control, retrospective and multicentre study based on the secondary use of unstructured clinical data from patients with adult RA and RAILD from nine hospitals between 2014 and 2019. NLP was used to extract unstructured clinical information from EHR and standardise it into a SNOMED-CT terminology. Prevalence of RA and RAILD were calculated, and a descriptive analysis was performed. Characteristics between patients with RAILD and RA patients without ILD (RAnonILD) were compared. RESULTS: From a source population of 3 176 165 patients and 64 241 683 EHRs, 13 958 patients with RA were identified. Of those, 5.1% patients additionally had ILD (RAILD). The overall age-adjusted prevalence of RA and RAILD were 0.53% and 0.02%, respectively. The most common ILD subtype was usual interstitial pneumonia (29.3%). When comparing RAILD versus RAnonILD patients, RAILD patients were older and had more comorbidities, notably concerning infections (33.6% vs 16.5%, p<0.001), malignancies (15.9% vs 8.5%, p<0.001) and cardiovascular disease (25.8% vs 13.9%, p<0.001) than RAnonILD. RAILD patients also had higher inflammatory burden reflected in more pharmacological prescriptions and higher inflammatory parameters and presented a higher in-hospital mortality with a higher risk of death (HR 2.32; 95% CI 1.59 to 2.81, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We found an estimated age-adjusted prevalence of RA and RAILD by analysing real-world data through NLP. RAILD patients were more vulnerable at the time of inclusion with higher comorbidity and inflammatory burden than RAnonILD, which correlated with higher mortality.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Impairment in pulmonary function tests and radiological abnormalities are a major concern in COVID-19 survivors. Our aim is to evaluate functional respiratory parameters, changes in chest CT, and correlation with peripheral blood biomarkers involved in lung fibrosis at two and six months after SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. METHODS: COVID-FIBROTIC (clinicaltrials.gov NCT04409275) is a multicenter prospective observational cohort study aimed to evaluate discharged patients. Pulmonary function tests, circulating serum biomarkers, chest radiography and chest CT were performed at outpatient visits. RESULTS: In total, 313, aged 61.12 ± 12.26 years, out of 481 included patients were available. The proportion of patients with DLCO < 80% was 54.6% and 47% at 60 and 180 days. Associated factors with diffusion impairment at 6 months were female sex (OR: 2.97, 95%CI 1.74-5.06, p = 0.001), age (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05, p = 0.005), and peak RALE score (OR: 1.22, 95% CI 1.06-1.40, p = 0.005). Patients with altered lung diffusion showed higher levels of MMP-7 (11.54 ± 8.96 vs 6.71 ± 4.25, p = 0.001), and periostin (1.11 ± 0.07 vs 0.84 ± 0.40, p = 0.001). 226 patients underwent CT scan, of whom 149 (66%) had radiological sequelae of COVID-19. In severe patients, 68.35% had ground glass opacities and 38.46% had parenchymal bands. Early fibrotic changes were associated with higher levels of MMP7 (13.20 ± 9.20 vs 7.92 ± 6.32, p = 0.001), MMP1 (10.40 ± 8.21 vs 6.97 ± 8.89, p = 0.023), and periostin (1.36 ± 0.93 vs 0.87 ± 0.39, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Almost half of patients with moderate or severe COVID-19 pneumonia had impaired pulmonary diffusion six months after discharge. Severe patients showed fibrotic lesions in CT scan and elevated serum biomarkers involved in pulmonary fibrosis.


INTRODUCCIÓN: El deterioro de la función pulmonar en las pruebas correspondientes y las alteraciones radiológicas son las preocupaciones principales en los supervivientes de la COVID-19. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar los parámetros de la función respiratoria, los cambios en la TC de tórax y la correlación con los biomarcadores en sangre periférica involucrados en la fibrosis pulmonar a los 2 y a los 6 meses tras la neumonía por SARS-CoV-2. MÉTODOS: El ensayo COVID-FIBROTIC (clinicaltrials.gov NCT04409275) es un estudio de cohortes multicéntrico, prospectivo y observacional cuyo objetivo fue evaluar los pacientes dados de alta. Se realizaron pruebas de función pulmonar, detección de biomarcadores en plasma circulante y radiografía y TC de tórax durante las visitas ambulatorias. RESULTADOS: En total 313 pacientes, de 61,12 ± 12,26 años, de los 481 incluidos estuvieron disponibles.La proporción de pacientes con DLCO < 80% fue del 54,6 y del 47% a los 60 y 180 días.Los factores que se asociaron a la alteración de la difusión a los 6 meses fueron el sexo femenino (OR: 2,97; IC del 95%: 1,74-5,06; p = 0,001), la edad (OR: 1,03; IC del 95%: 1,01-1,05; p = 0,005) y la puntuación RALE más alta (OR: 1,22; IC del 95%: 1,06-1,40; p = 0,005). Los pacientes con alteración de la difusión pulmonar mostraron niveles más altos de MMP-7 (11,54 ± 8,96 frente a 6,71 ± 4,25; p = 0,001) y periostina (1,11 ± 0.07 frente a 0,84 ± 0,40; p = 0,001). Se le realizó una TC a 226 pacientes de los cuales 149 (66%) presentaban secuelas radiológicas de la COVID-19. En los pacientes graves, el 68,35% mostraban opacidades en vidrio esmerilado y el 38,46%, bandas parenquimatosas. Los cambios fibróticos tempranos se asociaron a niveles más altos de MMP7 (13,20 ± 9,20 frente a 7,92 ± 6,32; p = 0,001), MMP1 (10,40 ± 8,21 frente a 6,97 ± 8,89; p = 0,023), y periostina (1,36 ± 0,93 frente a 0,87 ± 0,39; p = 0,001). CONCLUSIÓN: Casi la mitad de los pacientes con neumonía moderada o grave por COVID-19 presentaba alteración de la difusión pulmonar 6 meses después del alta. Los pacientes graves mostraban lesiones fibróticas en laTC y un aumento de los biomarcadores séricos relacionados con la fibrosis pulmonar.
