    背景:长型COVID是一种多系统疾病,可导致与健康相关的生活质量(HRQoL)严重受损。COVID-19感染后,肺功能检查(PFT)异常很常见。这项研究的主要目的是评估PFT异常与COVID-19感染后HRQoL评分受损之间的任何相关性。
    方法:这是对路易斯维尔前瞻性队列患者的分析,KY感染了COVID-19。收集的数据包括人口统计,既往病史,实验室测试,PFTs,和一些HRQoL问卷,如EuroQol5维度HRQoL问卷(EQ-5D-5L),广义焦虑症7(GAD-7),患者健康问卷(PHQ-9),和DSM-5(PCL-5)的创伤后应激障碍检查表。进行了描述性统计,比较PFTs(正常与异常)和COVID-19感染后的时间(3个月vs6个月vs≥12个月)。
    结果:FEV1、FVC、或COVID-19感染后一段时间内PFTs异常患者的百分比。在COVID-19之后,PFTs正常的患者的移动性HRQoL评分和GAD-7评分随时间的变化更严重。PFTs异常患者的任何HRQoL评分随时间变化均无差异。
    结论:在PFT异常的患者中,通过EQ-5D-5L测量,与HRQoL评分没有时间关联,GAD-7、PHQ-9和PCL-5。在PFT正常的患者中,运动障碍和焦虑可能与COVID-19感染有关。COVID-19感染后,HRQoL评分的损害不能完全由肺活量测定异常的存在来解释.
    Long-COVID is a multisystem disease that can lead to significant impairments in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Following COVID-19 infection, abnormalities on pulmonary function tests (PFT) are common. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate for any correlation between PFT abnormalities and impairment in HRQoL scores following COVID-19 infection.
    This is an analysis of a prospective cohort of patients in Louisville, KY who were infected with COVID-19. Data collected included demographics, past medical history, laboratory tests, PFTs, and several HRQoL questionnaires such as the EuroQol 5 Dimension HRQoL questionnaire (EQ-5D-5 L), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Posttraumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Descriptive statistics were performed, comparing PFTs (normal vs abnormal) and time since COVID-19 infection (3- vs 6- vs ≥ 12 months).
    There were no significant differences in FEV1, FVC, or the percentage of patients with abnormal PFTs over time after COVID-19 infection. Following COVID-19, patients with normal PFTs had worse impairment in mobility HRQoL scores and change in GAD-7 scores over time. There were no differences over time in any of the HRQoL scores among patients with abnormal PFTs.
    Among patients with an abnormal PFT, there was no temporal association with HRQoL scores as measured by EQ-5D-5 L, GAD-7, PHQ-9, and PCL-5. Among patients with a normal PFT, mobility impairment and anxiety may be associated with COVID-19 infection. Following COVID-19 infection, impairment in HRQoL scores is not completely explained by the presence of abnormalities on spirometry.

    本研究的目的是定义一个称为β的初始角度,并评估其诊断价值,以识别儿童肺活量测定测试中的劣质动作。此外,探讨了其预测方程或正常值。纳入4-14岁有呼吸道症状并接受肺活量测定的儿童。根据机动期间标记的努力和指南的质量控制标准,儿童被分为质量好和质量差的组.根据通气障碍,优质组的儿童分为三个亚组:正常,受限制,和阻碍。角度β是从呼气顶点到坐标原点的线与最大呼气流量-容积(MEFV)曲线的x轴之间的角度。人口特征,角度β,和其他肺活量测定参数进行组间比较。β角的诊断值,用力呼气时间(FET),并使用受试者工作特征曲线评估它们的组合。我们先前研究中来自优质组258名儿童和702名健康儿童的数据被用于进一步探索角度β的预测方程或正常值。劣质组表现出明显较小的角度β(76.44°与79.36°;P<0.001),显著降低峰值呼气流量(PEF),FET,和有效FET(ETe),峰值流量时的呼气量(FEV-PEF)以及外推容量和用力肺活量的比率(EV/FVC)明显高于优质组。正常之间的角度β没有显着差异,受限制,阻挠团体。Logistic回归分析显示,较小的角度β和FET值表明MEFV曲线质量较差。角度β<74.58°和FET<4.91s的组合具有比任一单独的曲线下显著更大的面积。4~14岁儿童β角正常值为78.40±0.12°。结论:β角有助于儿童肺活量测定的质量控制评价。角度β<74.58°和FET<4.91s都是低质量MEFV曲线的预测因子,而它们的组合提供了最高的诊断价值。缓慢启动是导致不良质量最大呼气流量-容积(MEFV)曲线的主要原因之一,由于合作有限,这是儿童中一个特别突出的问题,尤其是6岁以下的人。•当儿童开始缓慢时,很难区分通气功能障碍和合作不良;因此,迫切需要一种不受通气损害影响的客观指标来评估肺活量测定的质量控制。新增内容:•初始角度β,在本研究中,它被引入MEFV曲线的上升分支,对儿童MEFV曲线质量差具有一定的诊断价值。•角度β<74.58°是低质量MEFV曲线的预测指标,其与FET<4.91s的组合提供了更高的诊断价值。
    The aim of the present study was to define an initial angle called β and to assess its diagnostic value for identifying poor-quality maneuvers in spirometry testing in children. Furthermore, its predictive equation or normal value was explored. Children aged 4-14 years with respiratory symptoms who underwent spirometry were enrolled. Based on the efforts labeled during maneuvering and the quality control criteria of the guidelines, children were categorized into good-quality and poor-quality groups. According to ventilatory impairment, children in the good-quality group were divided into three subgroups: normal, restricted, and obstructed. Angle β was the angle between the line from the expiratory apex to the origin of coordinates and the x-axis of the maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve. Demographic characteristics, angle β, and other spirometric parameters were compared among groups. The diagnostic values of angle β, forced expiratory time (FET), and their combination were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Data from 258 children in the good-quality group and 702 healthy children in our previous study were used to further explore the predictive equation or normal value of angle β. The poor-quality group exhibited a significantly smaller angle β (76.44° vs. 79.36°; P < 0.001), significantly lower peak expiratory flow (PEF), FET, and effective FET (ETe), and significantly higher expiratory volume at peak flow rate (FEV-PEF) and ratio of extrapolated volume and forced vital capacity (EV/FVC) than the good-quality group. There was no significant difference in angle β among the normal, restricted, and obstructed groups. Logistic regression analysis revealed that smaller angle β and FET values indicated poor-quality MEFV curves. The combination of angle β < 74.58° and FET < 4.91 s had a significantly larger area under the curve than either one alone. The normal value of angle β of children aged 4-14 years was 78.40 ± 0.12°.   Conclusions: Angle β contributes to the quality control evaluation of spirometry in children. Both angle β < 74.58° and FET < 4.91 s are predictors of poor-quality MEFV curves, while their combination offers the highest diagnostic value. What is Known: • A slow start is one of the leading causes of poor-quality maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curves, which is a particularly prominent issue among children due to limited cooperation, especially those younger than 6 years old. • It is relatively difficult to differentiate between ventilatory dysfunction and poor cooperation when a slow start occurs in children; therefore, there is an urgent need for an objective indicator that is unaffected by ventilatory impairment to evaluate quality control of spirometry. What is New: • The initial angle β, which was introduced at the ascending limb of the MEFV curve in the present study, has a certain diagnostic value for poor-quality MEFV curves in children. • Angle β < 74.58° is a predictor of poor-quality MEFV curves, and its combination with FET < 4.91 s offers a higher diagnostic value.

    目的:本研究的目的是探讨重度早发性脊柱侧凸(EOS)患者术前晕重力牵引(HGT)和随后的生长棒(GR)治疗的有效性。
    方法:作者回顾性回顾了2008年1月至2020年1月在其中心接受术前HGT和后续GR治疗的重度EOS患者队列。包括冠状面或矢状面中Cobb角>90°的患者。所有患者在放置GR之前接受至少6周的HGT。比较HGT前后的肺功能检查(PFTs)和血气检查结果。放射学参数在HGT之前进行了比较,HGT后,索引后手术,在最新的后续行动中。
    结果:共有28名患者(17名男孩和11名女孩,平均年龄6.1±2.3岁)纳入本研究。平均牵引65.2±22.9天后,Cobb角由101.4°±12.5°减小到74.5°±19.3°(变化率26.5%),后凸角从71.1°±21.2°下降到42.7°±9.5°(变化率39.9%)。HGT后,BMI显着改善,但血红蛋白水平降低。除2例患者的针状部位感染外,无HGT相关并发症。在强迫性肺活量(FVC)(p=0.011)观察到HGT后PFT的统计学显着改善,预测的FVC百分比(p=0.007),FEV1(p=0.015),和1秒内预测用力呼气量的百分比(FEV1)(p=0.005)。14例患者因术前缺氧而接受辅助通气,肺泡通气不足,或者高碳酸血症.在PaCO2中观察到显著改善(p=0.008),PaO2(p=0.005),实际碳酸氢盐(p=0.005),这些患者的氧饱和度(p=0.012)。索引手术后,Cobb角为49.5°±18.9°,后凸角为36.2°±25.8°。经过4.3±1.4的平均加长程序后,Cobb角为56.5°±15.8°,后凸角为38.8°±19.7°。14例(50%)患者发生手术并发症,但这些患者均未在最新随访时需要进行翻修手术.
    结论:术前HGT明显改善重度EOS患者的脊柱畸形和肺功能。对于这些患者,HGT后的GR治疗是一种安全有效的策略。
    The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of preoperative halo-gravity traction (HGT) with subsequent growing rod (GR) treatment in patients with severe early-onset scoliosis (EOS).
    The authors retrospectively reviewed a cohort of patients with severe EOS who had received preoperative HGT with subsequent GR treatment at their center between January 2008 and January 2020. Patients with a Cobb angle in the coronal or sagittal plane that was > 90° were included. All patients received at least 6 weeks of HGT before GR placement. Results of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and blood gas tests were compared before and after HGT. Radiological parameters were compared pre-HGT, post-HGT, postindex surgery, and at the latest follow-up.
    A total of 28 patients (17 boys and 11 girls, mean age 6.1 ± 2.3 years) were included in this study. After a mean of 65.2 ± 22.9 days of traction, the Cobb angle decreased from 101.4° ± 12.5° to 74.5° ± 19.3° (change rate 26.5%), and the kyphosis angle decreased from 71.1° ± 21.2° to 42.7° ± 9.5° (change rate 39.9%). There was a significant improvement in BMI but a decrease in hemoglobin levels following HGT. No HGT-related complications were recorded except pin site infections in 2 patients. Statistically significant improvements in PFTs after HGT were observed in forced vital capacity (FVC) (p = 0.011), the percentage predicted FVC (p = 0.007), FEV1 (p = 0.015), and the percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (p = 0.005). Fourteen patients received assisted ventilation due to preoperative hypoxia, alveolar hypoventilation, or hypercapnia. Significant improvement was seen in PaCO2 (p = 0.008), PaO2 (p = 0.005), actual bicarbonate (p = 0.005), and oxygen saturation (p = 0.012) in these patients. After the index surgery, the Cobb angle decreased to 49.5° ± 18.9° and the kyphosis angle decreased to 36.2° ± 25.8°. After a mean of 4.3 ± 1.4 lengthening procedures, the Cobb angle was 56.5° ± 15.8°, and the kyphosis angle was 38.8° ± 19.7°. Surgical complications occurred in 14 (50%) patients, but none of these patients required revision surgery at the latest follow-up.
    Preoperative HGT notably improved both spinal deformity and pulmonary function in patients with severe EOS. GR treatment after HGT is a safe and effective strategy for these patients.

    背景:间质性肺病(ILD)可以在诊断原发性干燥综合征(pSS)之前出现,然而,潜在机制尚不清楚.这项研究的目的是使用胸部高分辨率计算机断层扫描(HRCT)和肺功能测试(PFTs)研究肺部发作的pSS的特征。
    方法:对102例pSS-ILD患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析。患者分为两组:肺部起病组和非肺部起病组。胸部HRCT,PFTs,并对临床和实验室数据进行评估和比较。
    结果:在102例pSS-ILD患者中,59例(57.8%)为肺部起病,43例(42.2%)为非肺部起病。肺部发病组的胸部HRCT显示,普通间质性肺炎和非特异性间质性肺炎的比例较高,差异无统计学意义。肺发病组的HRCT总分较高,与非肺发病组相比(2[2,3],vs.2[1,2],p=.014)。总肺活量(TLC)(%pred)[(75.4±16.2)对(82.8±19.4),p=.049]和强迫肺活量(FVC)(%pred)[(82.2±19.9)与(91.6±28.3),p=.050]在肺部发作组中明显较低,与非肺部起病组相比。肺发作组的残余体积(RV)/TLC(%)显着增加了40%以上(p=0.015)。受限通气障碍,小气道阻塞和一氧化碳/肺泡体积(%Pred)的肺弥散能力降低在肺发病组中更为常见(分别为p=.038,p=.050和p=.050).相关性分析显示HRCT评分与肺部症状发作间隔时间和诊断ILD呈正相关,血清CA125和血清CEA。TCL(%pred),VC(%pred),FVC(%pred)与血清CA125呈负相关。
    结论:肺部起病常见于肺功能受损更严重的pSS患者。血清生物标志物,比如CA125,CEA,ALB,与肺损伤的严重程度有关。
    Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can manifest before the diagnosis of primary Sjögren\'s syndrome (pSS), however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of lung-onset pSS using chest high-resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) and pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
    The data of 102 patients with pSS-ILD were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: lung-onset group and the nonlung-onset group. The chest HRCT, PFTs, and clinical and laboratory data were evaluated and compared.
    Among the 102 patients with pSS-ILD, 59 (57.8%) were lung-onset and 43 (42.2%) were nonlung-onset. Chest HRCT in the lung-onset group showed higher percentage of usual interstitial pneumonia and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, the difference did not reach statistical significance. The total HRCT score was higher in the lung-onset group, compared with the nonlung-onset group (2 [2, 3], vs. 2 [1, 2], p = .014). Total lung capacity (TLC) (%pred) [(75.4 ± 16.2) versus (82.8 ± 19.4), p = .049] and forced vital capacity (FVC) (%pred) [(82.2 ± 19.9) versus (91.6 ± 28.3), p = .050] were significantly lower in the lung-onset group, compared with the nonlung-onset group. Residual volume (RV)/TLC (%) significantly increased more than 40% in the lung-onset group (p = .015). Restricted ventilation disorder, small airway obstruction and reduced diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide/alveolar volume (%Pred) were more common in the lung-onset group (p = .038, p = .050, and p = .050, respectively). Correlation analysis showed that HRCT score was positively correlated with the interval between the onset of pulmonary symptoms and the diagnosis of ILD, serum CA125, and serum CEA. TCL (%pred), VC (%pred), FVC (%pred) were negatively correlated with serum CA125.
    Lung-onset is common in pSS patients with more severe lung function impairments. Serum biomarkers, such CA125, CEA, and ALB, were associated with the severity of lung damage.

    慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)在我国发病率较高,但诊断率仍然不足。本研究旨在探索和比较中国基层医疗机构的COPD筛查工具。
    探索COPD筛查工具及其在中国基层医疗机构的联合使用。
    2022年9月至2023年3月,在北京市基层医疗机构对35岁及以上居民进行COPD筛查,中国。筛查涉及使用CAPTURE量表,COPD-SQ量表,和峰值呼气流速测试。这些筛查测试的任何阳性结果都要进行进一步的肺功能测试以确认诊断。灵敏度,特异性,正预测值,负预测值,和受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线计算每个筛选工具单独和组合。
    共有986人完成了筛查测试。CAPTURE量表的阳性率,COPD-SQ量表,和峰值流量计筛选为41.78%,29.11%,和52.03%,分别。在参与者中,166(24.09%)接受了肺功能检查,平均年龄61.69±13.68岁。单独使用时,峰值流量计筛选显示出最高的灵敏度(83.78%),COPD-SQ量表特异性最好(59.69%),阳性预测值(31.58%),阴性预测值(58.56%)。在三种筛选工具中的任何两种之间观察到显著差异(P<0.05)。在组合中,峰值流量计筛查+COPD-SQ量表显示出最高的准确性,尤登指数为0.277,AUC为0.638。
    单独使用时,现有的COPD筛查工具的准确性存在差异。对于初级医疗机构,最佳的COPD筛查工具是峰值流量计筛查和COPD-SQ问卷的组合.如果受筛选设备条件限制,COPD-SQ问卷可单独用于筛查.
    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a high incidence rate in China, but the diagnosis rate remains insufficient. This study aimed to explore and compare COPD screening tools for primary healthcare institutions in China.
    Exploring COPD Screening Tools and Their Combined Use for Primary Healthcare Institutions in China.
    From September 2022 to March 2023, a screening for COPD was conducted among residents aged 35 years and above in primary healthcare institutions in Beijing, China. The screening involved the use of the CAPTURE scale, COPD-SQ scale, and peak expiratory flow rate test. Any positive results from these screening tests were followed by further pulmonary function testing to confirm the diagnosis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated for each screening tool alone and in combination.
    A total of 986 individuals completed the screening tests. The positive rates for the CAPTURE scale, COPD-SQ scale, and peak flow meter screening were 41.78%, 29.11%, and 52.03%, respectively. Of the participants, 166 (24.09%) underwent pulmonary function tests, with an average age of 61.69±13.68 years. The peak flow meter screening showed the highest sensitivity (83.78%) when used alone, while the COPD-SQ scale exhibited the best specificity (59.69%), positive predictive value (31.58%), and negative predictive value (58.56%). Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed between any two of the three screening tools. Among the combinations, the peak flow meter screening + COPD-SQ scale showed the highest accuracy, with a Youden index of 0.277 and an AUC of 0.638.
    There is variation in the accuracy of existing screening tools for COPD when used alone. For primary healthcare institutions, the optimal COPD screening tool is the combination of peak flow meter screening and the COPD-SQ questionnaire. If limited by screening equipment conditions, the COPD-SQ questionnaire can be used alone for screening.

    背景:本研究的目的是探讨出院时全肺和肺叶组织的定量CT指数对2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者在症状发作后5个月的肺扩散功能的预测价值。
    方法:共有90例中重度COVID-19患者在出院时接受了CT扫描,症状发作后5个月进行肺功能检查(PFTs)。用卡方检验比较第1组(弥散功能异常患者)和第2组(弥散功能正常患者)的定量CT和PFT结果的差异,费希尔精确检验或曼-惠特尼U检验。单变量分析,使用逐步线性回归和逻辑回归来确定康复期患者扩散功能的预测因子。
    结果:总共37.80%(34/90)的患者在症状发作后5个月出现弥散功能障碍。第1组总肺组织平均肺密度(MLD)高于第2组,第1组充气良好肺(WAL)组织体积百分比(WAL%)低于第2组(均p<0.05)。多元逐步线性回归仅将左上叶(LUL)的WAL和WAL%确定为与一氧化碳肺扩散能力预测值百分比呈正相关的参数(WAL:p=0.002;WAL%:p=0.004),多元逐步逻辑回归将MLD和MLDLUL确定为扩散功能障碍的独立预测因子(MLD:OR(95CI):1.011(1.001,1.02),p=0.035;MLDLUL:OR(95CI):1.016(1.004,1.027),p=0.008)。
    结论:症状发作后五个月,超过三分之一的中重度COVID-19患者出现弥散功能障碍。出院时通过CT量化的充气良好的肺和平均肺密度可以预测康复中的扩散功能。
    Background: The aim of this study was to explore the predictive values of quantitative CT indices of the total lung and lung lobe tissue at discharge for the pulmonary diffusion function of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients at 5 months after symptom onset. Methods: A total of 90 patients with moderate and severe COVID-19 underwent CT scans at discharge, and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed 5 months after symptom onset. The differences in quantitative CT and PFT results between Group 1 (patients with abnormal diffusion function) and Group 2 (patients with normal diffusion function) were compared by the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test or Mann−Whitney U test. Univariate analysis, stepwise linear regression and logistic regression were used to determine the predictors of diffusion function in convalescent patients. Results: A total of 37.80% (34/90) of patients presented diffusion dysfunction at 5 months after symptom onset. The mean lung density (MLD) of the total lung tissue in Group 1 was higher than that in Group 2, and the percentage of the well-aerated lung (WAL) tissue volume (WAL%) of Group 1 was lower than that of Group 2 (all p < 0.05). Multiple stepwise linear regression identified only WAL and WAL% of the left upper lobe (LUL) as parameters that positively correlated with the percent of the predicted value of diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (WAL: p = 0.002; WAL%: p = 0.004), and multiple stepwise logistic regression identified MLD and MLDLUL as independent predictors of diffusion dysfunction (MLD: OR (95%CI): 1.011 (1.001, 1.02), p = 0.035; MLDLUL: OR (95%CI): 1.016 (1.004, 1.027), p = 0.008). Conclusion: At five months after symptom onset, more than one-third of moderate and severe COVID-19 patients presented with diffusion dysfunction. The well-aerated lung and mean lung density quantified by CT at discharge could be predictors of diffusion function in convalesce.

    未经证实:COVID-19幸存者的肺功能长期轨迹数据很少。
    UASSIGNED:我们重新分析了感染后2年以上COVID-19幸存者的前瞻性纵向队列随访研究的数据。根据七类序数将所有参与者分为量表3,量表4和量表5-6组。肺功能检查(PFTs)的变化,改良医学研究委员会(mMRC)呼吸困难量表,6分钟步行测试健康相关的生活质量(HRQoL)在三个系列随访中进行了评估,并在三组之间进行比较。我们进行了线性回归,以确定与PFTs变化和6分钟内步行距离(6MWD)相关的潜在因素。
    未经批准:在这项研究中,从感染后6个月到1年,288名参与者的PFTs参数总体上有所改善。与量表3和量表4组相比,量表5-6组显示出PFTs的显着增加(所有p<0.0167),和皮质类固醇治疗被确定为PFTs改善的保护因素,其强制肺活量(FVC)的相关系数为2.730(0.215-5.246),总肺活量(TLC)为2.909(0.383-5.436),一氧化碳(DLco)的扩散能力为3.299(0.211-6.387),分别。从1年到2年的随访,PFTs参数普遍下降,未观察到与6MWD和HRQoL的变化相关。呼吸困难(mMRC≥1)通常随时间减少(23.3%[61/262]持续6个月,1年27.9%[67/240],2年期13.4%[35/261]),6MWD连续增加(500.0米vs505.0米vs525.0米)。
    UNASSIGNED:住院期间的糖皮质激素治疗是PFTs从6个月到1年改善的保护因素。PFTs从1年到2年相对较快的下降趋势需要引起重视,并在未来的后续研究中进一步验证。

    UNASSIGNED: Data on the long-term trajectories of lung function are scarce in COVID-19 survivors.
    UNASSIGNED: We re-analyzed the data from a prospective longitudinal cohort follow-up study of COVID-19 survivors over 2 years after infection. All participants were divided into scale 3, scale 4 and scale 5-6 groups according to seven-category ordinal scale. The changes of pulmonary function tests (PFTs), the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale, 6-min walking test health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across the three serial follow-up visits were evaluated, and compared among three groups. We performed liner regression to determine potential factors that were associated with changes of PFTs and distance walked in 6 minutes (6MWD).
    UNASSIGNED: In this study, 288 participants generally presented an improvement of PFTs parameters from 6 months to 1 year after infection. The scale 5-6 group displayed a significantly higher increase of PFTs compared with scale 3 and scale 4 groups (all p<0.0167), and corticosteroids therapy was identified as a protective factor for the PFTs improvement with a correlation coefficient of 2.730 (0.215-5.246) for forced vital capacity (FVC), 2.909 (0.383-5.436) for total lung capacity (TLC), and 3.299 (0.211-6.387) for diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco), respectively. From 1-year to 2-year follow-up, the PFTs parameters generally decreased, which was not observed to be associated with changes of 6MWD and HRQoL. Dyspnea (mMRC≥1) generally decreased over time (23.3% [61/262] for 6-month, 27.9% [67/240] for 1-year, 13.4% [35/261] for 2-year), and 6MWD increased continuously (500.0 m vs 505.0 m vs 525.0 m).
    UNASSIGNED: Corticosteroids therapy during hospitalization was a protective factor for PFTs improvement from 6 months to 1 year. The relatively fast decline trend of PFTs from 1 year to 2 years needs to be paid attention and further validated in the future follow-up study.

    目的:使用肺功能检查(PFTs)作为术前检查,在无症状的肺部手术患者中,筛查气流受限(AFL)并不罕见.本研究旨在阐明新诊断为AFL的无症状患者与接受肺部手术的正常人群之间术后肺部并发症(PPC)的患病率和预后是否存在差异。
    方法:收集2017年1月至10月期间在齐鲁医院接受肺活量测定诊断为AFL的无症状肺部手术患者的病历。这些患者随后随访至2021年2月。PPC的诊断基于推荐的共识定义。比较新诊断AFL组与正常组之间的PPC发生率,并进行倾向评分匹配分析(PSM)。对两组患者的远期预后进行生存分析。
    结果:总体而言,招募了535名无症状受试者,并对126名受试者(11.4%)进行了肺活量分析诊断为AFL。新诊断AFL组PPC的发生率明显高于正常人群(28.6%VS14.4%,P<0.001),尤其是FEV1/FVC≤65%组(P<0.001),这些都通过PSM分析得到了证实。此外,这些患者ICU入院风险较高(P<0.001),PPC继发90天再入院风险较高(P<0.001).在总体上没有发现显著差异,AFL组与正常组之间的住院和90天死亡率(P值>0.05)。
    结论:无症状的AFL患者在肺部手术后发生PPC的风险高于一般人群,随着ICU入院人数的增加和PPC继发90天的住院再入院人数的增加。尽管这些患者倾向于报告更糟糕的现状,他们在医院里是相似的,90天和随访期间的总死亡率。
    OBJECTIVE: With the use of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) as a preoperative examination, it is not rare to screen out airflow limitation (AFL) in asymptomatic patients undergoing lung surgeries. This study aims to elucidate whether there is a difference in the prevalence and prognosis of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) between asymptomatic patients with newly diagnosed AFL and the normal population undergoing lung surgeries.
    METHODS: The medical records of asymptomatic patients undergoing lung surgeries who were spirometrically diagnosed with AFL between January and October 2017 were collected in Qilu hospital. These patients were subsequently followed up until February 2021. The diagnosis of PPCs was based on a recommended consensus definition. The incidence of PPCs between the newly diagnosed AFL group and the normal group was compared and a propensity score-matched analysis (PSM) was performed. The survival analysis was performed to investigate the long-term prognosis of the two groups.
    RESULTS: Overall, 535 asymptomatic subjects were recruited and 126 subjects (11.4%) were spirometrically diagnosed as AFL. The incidence of PPCs was significantly higher in the newly diagnosed AFL group than in the normal population (28.6%VS 14.4%, P < 0.001), especially in the FEV1/FVC≤65% group (P < 0.001), which were all confirmed by PSM analysis. Furthermore, these patients were at a higher risk of ICU admissions (P < 0.001) and 90-day hospital readmissions secondary to PPCs (P < 0.001). No significant differences were found in the overall, in-hospital and 90-day mortality between the AFL group and the normal group (P values >0.05).
    CONCLUSIONS: Asymptomatic patients with AFL are at higher risk of PPCs than the general population after lung surgeries, along with an increase in ICU admissions and 90-day hospital readmissions secondary to PPCs. Although these patients tended to report worse current conditions, they were similar in the in-hospital, 90-day and overall mortality during the follow-up.

    Screening and follow-up of interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA-ILD) is a challenge in clinical practice. In fact, the majority of RA-ILD patients are asymptomatic and optimal tools for early screening and regular follow-up are lacking. Furthermore, some patients may remain oligosymptomatic despite significant radiological abnormalities. In RA-ILD, usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is the most frequent radiological and pathological pattern, associated with a poor prognosis and a high risk to develop acute exacerbations and infections. If RA-ILD can be identified early, there may be an opportunity for an early treatment and close follow-up that might delay ILD progression and improve the long-term outcome.In connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD), lung ultrasound (LUS) with the assessment of B-lines and serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 antigen (KL-6) has been recognized as sensitive biomarkers for the early detection of ILD. B-line number and serum KL-6 level were found to correlate with high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and other clinical parameters in systemic sclerosis-associated ILD (SSc-ILD). Recently, the significant correlation between B-lines and KL-6, two non-ionizing and non-invasive biomarkers, was demonstrated. Hence, the combined use of LUS and KL-6 to screen and follow up ILD in RA patients might be useful in clinical practice in addition to existing tools. Herein, we review relevant literature to support this concept, propose a preliminary screening algorithm, and present 2 cases where the algorithm was used.
