Acute exacerbation (AE) is a common cause of rapid deterioration and high mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. Osteopontin (OPN) plays an important role in IPF, but the studies about serum OPN in AE-IPF are unclear. We aimed to investigate whether OPN had a potential prognostic value in acute exacerbation and mortality in IPF.
Thirty-two patients with AE-IPF, 39 with S-IPF, and 20 healthy controls were included. Serum OPN and KL-6 levels were compared between AE-IPF and S-IPF. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the predicted value of OPN for AE. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to display survival, and Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify risk for mortality.
In AE-IPF patients, serum OPN levels were significantly higher than in S-IPF subjects ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls ( < 0.001) or healthy controls (.
Elevated OPN could be a potential serum predictor for AE status and survival in IPF patients.
急性加重(AE)是特发性肺纤维化(IPF)患者病情迅速恶化和高死亡率的常见原因。骨桥蛋白(OPN)在 IPF 中起重要作用,但关于 AE-IPF 中血清 OPN 的研究尚不清楚。我们旨在探讨 OPN 是否在 IPF 的急性加重和死亡率方面具有潜在的预后价值。
纳入 32 例 AE-IPF 患者、39 例 S-IPF 患者和 20 例健康对照者。比较 AE-IPF 和 S-IPF 之间血清 OPN 和 KL-6 水平。应用逻辑回归分析确定 OPN 对 AE 的预测价值。采用 Kaplan-Meier 曲线显示生存情况,采用 Cox 比例风险回归分析识别死亡风险。
在 AE-IPF 患者中,血清 OPN 水平明显高于 S-IPF 患者(<0.001)或健康对照者(<0.001)。
OPN 升高可能是 IPF 患者 AE 状态和生存的潜在血清预测指标。
