摘要
背景与目的:精氨酸-抗利尿素(AVP)生物标志物Copeptin可能为晚期慢性肝病(ACLD)患者提供预后信息。方法:前瞻性招募2017年1月1日至2023年4月纳入维也纳肝硬化研究(NCT:NCT03267615)和可用copeptin水平的ACLD患者,并将其分为6个预定义的临床ACLD阶段,从S0(亚临床门静脉高压)到S5(进一步失代偿)。在衍生队列(n=150)中制定了失代偿ACLD患者的预后评分(MELD-copeptin评分),并在内部(n=148)和外部验证队列(n=771)中进行了验证。结果:475例ACLD患者中代偿性177例,失代偿性298例。copeptin的中位水平随着ACLD严重程度的加重而升高,(50:7 .5pmol/L vs. 55:14 .3pmol/L;结论:在dACLD患者中,copeptin与全身性炎症独立相关。MELD-copeptin评分可识别有临床预后受损风险的dld患者。
The Vasopressin Biomarker Copeptin is Linked to Systemic Inflammation and Refines Prognostication in Decompensated Cirrhosis.
Background & aims: Copeptin, an arginine-vasopressin biomarker, may confer prognostic information in patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD).
Methods: Patients with ACLD included in the Vienna Cirrhosis Study (NCT03267615) between January 2017 and April 2023 and available copeptin levels were prospectively recruited and classified into 6 predefined clinical ACLD stages from S0 (subclinical portal hypertension) to S5 (further decompensation). A prognostic score (MELD-copeptin score) in patients with decompensated ACLD (dACLD) was developed in a derivation cohort (n = 150) and validated in an internal (n = 148) and an external validation cohort (n = 771).
Results: Among 475 patients with ACLD, 177 were compensated, whereas 298 were decompensated. Median levels of copeptin increased with progressive ACLD severity (S0, 7.5 pmol/L vs S5, 14.3 pmol/L; P < .001). Copeptin (adjusted Beta, 0.10; P < .001) was independently associated with interleukin-6 levels in dACLD. In dACLD, copeptin was linked to higher risk of further decompensation (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-1.01; P = .039), acute-on-chronic liver failure (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.02; P < .001), and liver-related death (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.02; P < .001) independently of relevant cofactors. The MELD-copeptin score yielded higher area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROCs) for liver-related events than the MELD-Na score in the internal validation cohort, accurately predicting liver-related death at 6 months (AUROC, 0.777 vs MELD-Na, 0.673), 1 year (AUROC, 0.784 vs MELD-Na, 0.661), and 2 years of follow-up (AUROC, 0.741 vs MELD-Na, 0.636). Similarly, the MELD-copeptin score consistently yielded higher AUROCS for the development of liver-related death and acute-on-chronic liver failure at 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up in the external validation cohort.
Conclusions: In patients with dACLD, copeptin is independently linked to systemic inflammation. The MELD-copeptin score identifies patients with dACLD at risk for impaired clinical outcomes.
