摘要
研究背景我们的研究旨在估算塞尔维亚全国NMOSD登记处的NMOSD患者中自身免疫合并症的发生频率:我们的研究包括136名根据2015年NMOSD标准确诊的NMOSD患者。研究时,登记处收集了人口统计学和临床数据,包括与并存合并症和致病性自身抗体相关的数据。并非所有患者都接受了所有自身免疫抗体的检测。在血清阴性的aquaporin4-IgG(AQP4-IgG)NMOSD患者中,没有人的髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白IgG呈阳性:在136名NMOSD患者中,50人(36.8%)至少患有一种相关的自身免疫性疾病。106名患者(77.9%)的血清中含有AQP4-IgG,与AQP4-IgG阴性亚组相比,AQP4-IgG阳性亚组中合并自身免疫性疾病的NMOSD患者比例明显更高(p = 0.002)。AQP4-IgG血清阳性的NMOSD患者合并自身免疫性疾病的风险高出5.2倍(OR = 5.2,95% CI 1.4-18.5,p = 0.012)。最常见的疾病是自身免疫性甲状腺疾病(15.4%)、斯约格伦综合征(11.0%)、系统性红斑狼疮(5.1%)、重症肌无力(4.4%)和原发性抗磷脂抗体综合征(2.9%)。在检测了抗核抗体(ANA)的 NMOSD 患者亚群中,经常检测到该抗体(50/92;54.3%)。与 AQP4-IgG 阴性的患者相比,AQP4-IgG 阳性的亚组中 ANAs 和抗可提取核抗原自身抗体的频率更高,这在统计学上具有显著意义(分别为 p = 0.009 和 p = 0.015):总之,根据我们的研究结果,在具有欧洲人种背景的特定人群中,AQP4-IgG 血清阳性的 NMOSD 患者常伴有多种自身免疫性疾病。
Aquaporin4-IgG seropositivity significantly increases the risk of comorbid autoimmune diseases in NMOSD patients: population-based registry data.
Background: The aim of our study was to estimate the frequency of autoimmune comorbidities, in NMOSD patients from the national Serbian NMOSD Registry.
Methods: Our study comprises 136 patients with NMOSD, diagnosed according to the NMOSD criteria 2015. At the time of the study, in the Registry were collected demographic and clinical data, including those related to the coexisting comorbidities and pathogenic autoantibodies. Not all patients were tested for all autoimmune antibodies. None of the seronegative aquaporin4-IgG (AQP4-IgG) NMOSD patients, included in the Registry, were positive for the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG.
Results: Among 136 NMOSD patients, 50 (36.8%) had at least one associated autoimmune disorder. AQP4-IgG was present in the sera from 106 patients (77.9%), the proportion of NMOSD patients with autoimmune comorbidities being significantly higher in the AQP4-IgG positive subgroup in comparison to the AQP4-IgG negative (p = 0.002). AQP4-IgG seropositive NMOSD patients had 5.2-fold higher risk of comorbid autoimmune diseases (OR = 5.2, 95% CI 1.4-18.5, p = 0.012). The most frequently reported diseases were autoimmune thyroid disease (15.4%), Sjogren's syndrome (11.0%), systemic lupus erythematosus (5.1%), myasthenia gravis (4.4%), and primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (2.9%). Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) were frequently detected in the subgroup of NMOSD patients tested for this antibody (50/92; 54.3%). The higher frequency of ANAs and anti-extractable nuclear antigen autoantibodies, in the subgroups of AQP4-IgG-positive patients compared to the AQP4-IgG negative, tested for these antibodies, was statistically significant (p = 0.009, and p = 0.015, respectively).
Conclusion: In conclusion, based on our results, in a defined cohort with European ethnical background, a wide spectrum of autoimmune diseases is frequently associated with AQP4-IgG seropositive NMOSD patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurology is an international peer-reviewed journal which provides a source for publishing original communications and reviews on clinical neurology covering the whole field.
In addition, Letters to the Editors serve as a forum for clinical cases and the exchange of ideas which highlight important new findings. A section on Neurological progress serves to summarise the major findings in certain fields of neurology. Commentaries on new developments in clinical neuroscience, which may be commissioned or submitted, are published as editorials.
Every neurologist interested in the current diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders needs access to the information contained in this valuable journal.
