The Importance of Serial Pulmonary Function Tests in Determining Prognosis in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "Retrospective Analysis
Abstract
Objective: Our study aimed to retrospectively observe the value of serial pulmonary function test (PFT) parameters in predicting prognosis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Secondarily, to determine the relationship between PFT parameters and other variables such as age, gender, smoking, and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP).
Materials and Methods: Demographic data and PFT’s at initial and follow-up (6,12,24,36,48, and 60.months) and SPAP values were recorded in 94 patients.
Results: The mean age of the population was 62.8±10.3 years, and 71.3% (67 patients) were male. The mean follow-up period was 41.03±27.02 months. Of the patients, 59.4% (60 patients) died during follow-up. Thirty-two patients (34%) had their diagnosis confirmed by surgical lung biopsy. Age was not associated with survival or PFT losses. However, patients under the age of 50 and with high SPAP had significantly lower survival (p=0.039,p<0.001).High SPAP was associated with the ratio of carbonmonoxide diffusion capacity to alveolar volume (DLCO/VA,p=0.05). The survival of patients who lost 10% and 15% of their baseline forced vital capacity and DLCO, respectively, within the first 6 and 12 months, was not different from those who didn’t experience this loss.
Conclusion: In our study, the parameters determining the prognosis in IPF were diagnosed under the age of 50 and high SPAP. In the under-50 group, prognosis was not associated with changes in PFT, whereas high SPAP was associated with DLCO/VA. With the introduction of effective treatments in IPF, prognostic studies are essential in monitoring and also directing patients to transplantation at appropriate time.

İdiyopatik Pulmoner Fibroziste Seri Solunum Fonksiyon Testlerinin Prognozu Belirlemedeki Önemi "Retrospektif Analiz''
Abstract
Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı; idiyopatik pulmoner fibrozisli (IPF) hastaların seri solunum fonksiyon testi (SFT) ölçüm parametrelerinin prognozu öngörmedeki değerini retrospektif olarak gözlemlemektir. İkincil olarak ise yaş, cinsiyet, sigara öyküsü, sistolik pulmoner arter basıncı (SPAB) yüksekliği gibi diğer değişkenlerle prognoz ve SFT parametreleri arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 94 olgunun demografik verileri yanısıra ilk başvurudaki ve izlemdeki (6.ay, 12.ay, 24.ay, 36.ay, 48.ay ve 60.ay) SFT ölçümleri ve SPAB değerleri kaydedilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışma grubunun yaş ortalaması 62.8±10.3 olup %71.3’ü (67 olgu) erkektir. Ortalama izlem süreleri 41.03±27.02 aydır. Hastaların %59.4’ü (60 hasta) çalışma izleminde hayatını kaybetmiştir. Otuziki olgunun (%34) tanısı cerrahi akciğer biyopsisi ile doğrulanmıştır. Yaşın genel sağkalımla veya izlemdeki SFT kayıplarıyla ilişkisiz olduğu saptanmıştır. Ancak 50 yaş altı olgu grupta ortalama sağkalımın belirgin düşük olduğu gözlenmiştir (p=0.039). SPAB düzeyi yüksek olan olguların gerek genel sağkalım gerekse ekokardiyografi sonrası sağkalım sürelerinin anlamlı düşük olduğu saptanmış (p=0.006 ve p<0.001) ve SPAB yüksekliğinin karbonmonoksit difüzyon kapasitesinin alvoler volüme oranı (DLCO/VA) ile ilişkili olduğu gözlenmiştir (p=0.05). Bazal zorlu vital kapasite ve DLCO değerinin sırasıyla %10 ve %15’ini ilk 6 ve 12 ay içerisinde kaybeden olguların sağkalımlarının bu kaybı yaşamayanlarla farklı olmadığı görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda IPF’de prognozu belirleyen parametreler; 50 yaşın altında tanı almak ve SPAB’nın yüksek saptanması olarak belirlenmiştir. 50 yaş altı grubun prognozu SFT’deki değişimlerle ilişkisiz, SPAB yüksekliği ise DLCO/VA’daki değişim ile ilişkili saptanmıştır. IPF’de etkili tedavilerin kullanılmaya başlanmasıyla birlite tedavi izleminin yanısıra hastaların uygun zamanda transplantasyona yönlendirilmesi açısından prognostik çalışmalar önem taşımaktadır.
