Abstract
Background: Impaired diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) has been frequently described among patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, but longitudinal data of DLCO impairment and its association with IBD activity remain unclear.
Objectives: To describe the longitudinal report of prevalence and clinical characteristics of chronic DLCO impairment among patients with IBD reporting respiratory symptoms.
Design: We conducted a prospective single-center study including consecutive patients with confirmed IBD and respiratory symptoms.
Methods: Patients underwent longitudinal evaluation with chest CT scans and pulmonary function tests.
Results: Among 75 patients with DLCO measurements, 12 (16%) showed persistently reduced DLCO over a median follow-up of 26.9 [IQR 24.9-30.6] months. Median DLCO was 63.4% of predicted value. All patients had mild or inactive IBD and were on biologics. Imaging abnormalities were mild and did not explain the DLCO reduction.
Conclusions: Chronic DLCO impairment was observed in 16.0% of IBD patients and no obvious association with clinically active IBD was observed in this selected symptomatic cohort.
期刊介绍:
Therapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology is an open access journal which delivers the highest quality peer-reviewed original research articles, reviews, and scholarly comment on pioneering efforts and innovative studies in the medical treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders. The journal has a strong clinical and pharmacological focus and is aimed at an international audience of clinicians and researchers in gastroenterology and related disciplines, providing an online forum for rapid dissemination of recent research and perspectives in this area.
The editors welcome original research articles across all areas of gastroenterology and hepatology.
The journal publishes original research articles and review articles primarily. Original research manuscripts may include laboratory, animal or human/clinical studies – all phases. Letters to the Editor and Case Reports will also be considered.
