Abstract
Background
Anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA)-positive myositis is a chronic disease characterized by skeletal muscle atrophy and is associated with cardiac complications and restrictive ventilatory impairment. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, rate of organ complications, and prognostic risk factors of AMA-positive myositis.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study using a nationwide questionnaire from 2011 to 2021, enrolling participants from neurology departments at 811 facilities certified by the Japanese Society of Neurology.
Results
A total of 380 patients were identified, with a prevalence rate of 0.3 per 100,000 persons. The frequencies of cardiac complications and restrictive ventilatory impairment were 53 and 33 %, respectively; whereas, those of cardiac device and respirator introduction were 32 and 22 %, respectively. The frequencies of recurrence, subacute exacerbation, no muscle strength improvement, cardiac device introduction, respirator introduction, and death were 29, 25, 54, 32, 22, and 12 %, respectively. According to univariate analysis, abnormal echocardiograms (odds ratio [OR], 5.43), restrictive ventilatory impairment (OR, 3.70), and inflammatory changes revealed by muscle biopsy (OR, 0.34) were associated with subacute exacerbations, whereas abnormal echocardiograms (OR, 8.00) and durations from onset to admission and diagnosis (OR, 2.99) were associated with cardiac device introduction. Multivariable analysis showed that restrictive ventilatory impairment was associated with recurrence (adjusted OR, 3.01), adjusted for the duration from onset to admission and diagnosis, and with subacute exacerbations (adjusted OR, 3.86), adjusted for abnormal echocardiograms and inflammatory changes.
Conclusions
AMA-positive myositis is characterized by severe and urgent organ complications, and anticipatory management is critical for management of this disease.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Neurological Sciences provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. JNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials).
JNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism.
