Abstract

The pulmonary function test (PFT) is an important test for risk stratification before allogeneic transplantation (allo-HCT). However, it might be preferable to avoid PFT as much as possible in the recent era of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), because PFT requires forced expirations and might produce aerosols, increasing the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Therefore, we tried to predict normal PFT results before allo-HCT based on computed tomography (CT) findings. This study included 390 allo-HCT recipients at our center for whom lung CT images and PFT results before allo-HCT were available. Abnormal CT findings were less likely to be observed in the normal PFT group (47.0% versus 67.4%, P = .015), with a high negative predictive value of 92.9%. In a multivariate analysis, normal CT was significantly associated with normal PFT (odds ratio, 2.47; 95% confidence interval, 1.22 to 4.97; P = .012). A model for predicting normal PFT was constructed based on the results of a multivariate analysis, and the area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic analysis was 0.656, which gave a sensitivity of 45.5% and a specificity of 86.0%. The relatively high specificity of the model suggested that PFT can be omitted in patients with normal CT findings before allo-HCT.

在COVID-19大流行期间,造血前干细胞移植肺部计算机断层扫描作为肺功能测试的替代方案
肺功能检查(PFT)是同种异体移植(alloc - hct)前危险分层的重要检查。然而,在最近的2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)时代,最好尽可能避免PFT,因为PFT需要强制过期,并且可能产生气溶胶,增加了COVID-19传播的风险。因此,我们试图根据计算机断层扫描(CT)的结果来预测同种异体hct前的正常PFT结果。本研究纳入了我们中心的390名接受同种异体hct治疗的患者,他们在接受同种异体hct之前的肺部CT图像和PFT结果都是可用的。PFT正常组CT异常表现较少(47.0% vs 67.4%, P = 0.015),阴性预测值为92.9%。在多变量分析中,正常CT与正常PFT显著相关(优势比,2.47;95%置信区间为1.22 ~ 4.97;p = .012)。基于多变量分析的结果,建立了正常PFT预测模型,受试者工作特征分析曲线下面积为0.656,敏感性为45.5%,特异性为86.0%。该模型的相对高特异性表明,在同种异体CT前CT表现正常的患者可以忽略PFT。
