背景:本研究探讨了胸肌与慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)之间的关系,以及胸肌面积与COPD急性加重(AECOPD)之间的关系。
方法:非COPD组168例,COPD组101例。使用3DSlicer软件获得呼吸和辅助呼吸肌区域以分析计算机断层扫描(CT)的成像。采用单因素和多因素泊松回归分析前一年AECOPD病例数。使用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线获得截止值。
结果:我们扫描了6342个受试者记录,其中269项纳入本研究。然后,我们测量了以下肌肉面积(非COPD组与COPD组):胸大肌(19.06±5.36cm2vs.13.25±3.71cm2,P<0.001),胸小肌(6.81±2.03cm2vs.5.95±1.81cm2,P=0.001),膈穹顶(1.39±0.97cm2vs.0.85±0.72cm2,P=0.011),前锯肌(28.03±14.95cm2vs.16.76±12.69cm2,P<0.001),肋间肌(12.36±6.64cm2vs.7.15±5.6cm2,P<0.001),胸肌皮下脂肪(25.91±13.23cm2vs.18.79±10.81cm2,P<0.001),椎旁肌(14.8±4.35cm2vs.13.33±4.27cm2,P=0.007),和椎旁皮下脂肪(12.57±5.09cm2vs.10.14±6.94cm2,P=0.001)。胸大肌的ROC曲线下的面积,肋间,锯齿肌前肌面积为81.56%,73.28%,71.56%,分别。调整后的前一年胸大区与AECOPD数量呈负相关(相对风险,0.936;95%置信区间,0.879-0.996;P=0.037)。
结论:胸大肌面积与COPD呈负相关。此外,前一年AECOPD数量与胸大肌面积呈负相关。
BACKGROUND: This study examined the association between chest muscles and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the relationship between chest muscle areas and acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD).
METHODS: There were 168 subjects in the non-COPD group and 101 patients in the COPD group. The respiratory and accessory respiratory muscle areas were obtained using 3D Slicer software to analysis the imaging of computed tomography (CT). Univariate and multivariate Poisson regressions were used to analyze the number of AECOPD cases during the preceding year. The cutoff value was obtained using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
RESULTS: We scanned 6342 subjects records, 269 of which were included in this study. We then measured the following muscle areas (non-COPD group vs. COPD group): pectoralis major (19.06 ± 5.36 cm2 vs. 13.25 ± 3.71 cm2, P < 0.001), pectoralis minor (6.81 ± 2.03 cm2 vs. 5.95 ± 1.81 cm2, P = 0.001), diaphragmatic dome (1.39 ± 0.97 cm2 vs. 0.85 ± 0.72 cm2, P = 0.011), musculus serratus anterior (28.03 ± 14.95 cm2 vs.16.76 ± 12.69 cm2, P < 0.001), intercostal muscle (12.36 ± 6.64 cm2 vs. 7.15 ± 5.6 cm2, P < 0.001), pectoralis subcutaneous fat (25.91 ± 13.23 cm2 vs. 18.79 ± 10.81 cm2, P < 0.001), paravertebral muscle (14.8 ± 4.35 cm2 vs. 13.33 ± 4.27 cm2, P = 0.007), and paravertebral subcutaneous fat (12.57 ± 5.09 cm2 vs. 10.14 ± 6.94 cm2, P = 0.001). The areas under the ROC curve for the pectoralis major, intercostal, and the musculus serratus anterior muscle areas were 81.56%, 73.28%, and 71.56%, respectively. Pectoralis major area was negatively associated with the number of AECOPD during the preceding year after adjustment (relative risk, 0.936; 95% confidence interval, 0.879-0.996; P = 0.037).
CONCLUSIONS: The pectoralis major muscle area was negative associated with COPD. Moreover, there was a negative correlation between the number of AECOPD during the preceding year and the pectoralis major area.
