Abstract
Rationale: The longitudinal trajectory of airway disease on chest computed tomography (CT) and risk factors for progression in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is largely unknown.
Methods: Longitudinal analysis of structural airway disease among children with PCD enrolled in a prospective, multicenter observational study, stratified by ultrastructural defect group. CTs were scored utilizing the Melbourne-Rotterdam Annotated Grid Morphometric Analysis for PCD, evaluating airway abnormalities in a hierarchical order: atelectasis, bronchiectasis (%BE), airway wall thickening, and mucus plugging/tree in bud opacities (%MP). Volume fraction of each component was expressed as % of total lung volume. %Disease (%DIS) is the sum of all components. Mixed effects regression analyses were utilized to describe the association between clinical predictors and CT scores adjusted for relevant covariates.
Results: Chest CTs (N = 424) were obtained from 142 children over a mean (SD) of 4.9 (3.7) years. Mean (SD) age at first CT was 8.5 (4.6) years. Mean %DIS increased with age for the cohort (0.09% per year, 95% CI: 0.02-0.15, p < 0.01), driven by increased %BE (0.06 higher per year, 95% CI: 0.04-0.08, p = 0.0001) and increased odds of MP (1.14 higher odds per year, 95% CI: 1.08-1.21, p < 0.0001). Children with inner dynein arm and microtubular defects had increased mean %DIS and increased odds of MP compared to other ciliary abnormalities (1.73% higher, 95% CI: 0.71-2.74, p = 0.001; 3.21 higher odds per year, 95% CI: 1.73-5.95, p < 0.001). Annual increase in CT scores did not differ between defect groups.
Conclusions: Children with PCD experience progressive bronchiectasis and worsening mucus plugging with age.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases.
PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
