概括
对于纤维化间歇性肺病 (AE-FILD) 的急性恶化,类固醇治疗没有改善住院生存率,并且与死亡风险增加有关. 临床医生应在AE-FILD患者中谨慎使用类固醇,并考虑恶化的其他因素.
科学领域:
- 肺部病理学 肺部病理学
- 关键护理医学 关键护理医学
- 药理学 药理学是指药理学的学科.
背景情况:
- 类固醇治疗是纤维化间歇性肺病 (ILD) 的常见治疗方法,但其在异常性肺纤维化 (IPF) 的急性恶化 (AEs) 中的疗效尚不确定.
- 这项研究调查了类固醇治疗对患有纤维化间歇性肺病 (AE-FILD) 急性恶化患者的结果的影响,包括IPF和非IPFILD.
研究的目的:
- 评估皮质类固醇治疗对AE-FILD患者住院死亡率的影响.
- 评估类固醇使用与肺移植,再入院,整体存活率和氧气需求等其他结果之间的关联.
主要方法:
- 一项回顾性观察性研究分析了107个AE-FILD病例超过10年,来自两个中心.
- 使用二进制逻辑回归来确定皮质类固醇治疗 (按剂量和持续时间定义) 与住院死亡率或需要肺移植之间的关系.
- 二次结局包括再入院,生存和依赖氧气.
主要成果:
- 在107名患者中,有46人接受了急性类固醇治疗. 类固醇组较年轻,伴随性疾病较少,但需要更高的氧气水平.
- 类固醇使用与住院患者死亡或移植的风险增加有关 (OR 4.11,p=0.049).
- 在类固醇组中,中位生存时间显著降低 (221 vs 520.5天),所有原因死亡风险更高 (HR 3.25,p<0.01). 非IPF患者表现出使用类固醇降低死亡率的趋势.
结论:
- AE-FILD携带高死亡风险,类似于AE-IPF,即使在类固醇治疗中.
- 在AE-FILD中使用类固醇似乎与增加的死亡率和减少的存活率有关,需要谨慎应用.
- 进一步的前性研究对于阐明皮质类固醇在管理AE-FILD中的确切作用至关重要.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids
115
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...
