Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Among patients meeting diagnostic criteria for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), there is an emerging lung phenotype characterised by a low diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and a smoking history. The present study aimed at a detailed characterisation of these patients. METHODS: We analysed data from two European pulmonary hypertension registries, COMPERA (launched in 2007) and ASPIRE (from 2001 onwards), to identify patients diagnosed with IPAH and a lung phenotype defined by a DLCO of less than 45% predicted and a smoking history. We compared patient characteristics, response to therapy, and survival of these patients to patients with classical IPAH (defined by the absence of cardiopulmonary comorbidities and a DLCO of 45% or more predicted) and patients with pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease (group 3 pulmonary hypertension). FINDINGS: The analysis included 128 (COMPERA) and 185 (ASPIRE) patients with classical IPAH, 268 (COMPERA) and 139 (ASPIRE) patients with IPAH and a lung phenotype, and 910 (COMPERA) and 375 (ASPIRE) patients with pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease. Most patients with IPAH and a lung phenotype had normal or near normal spirometry, a severe reduction in DLCO, with the majority having no or a mild degree of parenchymal lung involvement on chest computed tomography. Patients with IPAH and a lung phenotype (median age, 72 years [IQR 65-78] in COMPERA and 71 years [65-76] in ASPIRE) and patients with group 3 pulmonary hypertension (median age 71 years [65-77] in COMPERA and 69 years [63-74] in ASPIRE) were older than those with classical IPAH (median age, 45 years [32-60] in COMPERA and 52 years [38-64] in ASPIRE; p< 0·0001 for IPAH with a lung phenotype vs classical IPAH in both registries). While 99 (77%) patients in COMPERA and 133 (72%) patients in ASPIRE with classical IPAH were female, there was a lower proportion of female patients in the IPAH and a lung phenotype cohort (95 [35%] COMPERA; 75 [54%] ASPIRE), which was similar to group 3 pulmonary hypertension (336 [37%] COMPERA; 148 [39%] ASPIRE]). Response to pulmonary arterial hypertension therapies at first follow-up was available from COMPERA. Improvements in WHO functional class were observed in 54% of patients with classical IPAH, 26% of patients with IPAH with a lung phenotype, and 22% of patients with group 3 pulmonary hypertension (p< 0·0001 for classical IPAH vs IPAH and a lung phenotype, and p=0·194 for IPAH and a lung phenotype vs group 3 pulmonary hypertension); median improvements in 6 min walking distance were 63 m, 25 m, and 23 m for these cohorts respectively (p=0·0015 for classical IPAH vs IPAH and a lung phenotype, and p=0·64 for IPAH and a lung phenotype vs group 3 pulmonary hypertension), and median reductions in N-terminal-pro-brain-natriuretic-peptide were 58%, 27%, and 16% respectively (p=0·0043 for classical IPAH vs IPAH and a lung phenotype, and p=0·14 for IPAH and a lung phenotype vs group 3 pulmonary hypertension). In both registries, survival of patients with IPAH and a lung phenotype (1 year, 89% in COMPERA and 79% in ASPIRE; 5 years, 31% in COMPERA and 21% in ASPIRE) and group 3 pulmonary hypertension (1 year, 78% in COMPERA and 64% in ASPIRE; 5 years, 26% in COMPERA and 18% in ASPIRE) was worse than survival of patients with classical IPAH (1 year, 95% in COMPERA and 98% in ASPIRE; 5 years, 84% in COMPERA and 80% in ASPIRE; p< 0·0001 for IPAH with a lung phenotype vs classical IPAH in both registries). INTERPRETATION: A cohort of patients meeting diagnostic criteria for IPAH with a distinct, presumably smoking-related form of pulmonary hypertension accompanied by a low DLCO, resemble patients with pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease rather than classical IPAH. These observations have pathogenetic, diagnostic, and therapeutic implications, which require further exploration. FUNDING: COMPERA is funded by unrestricted grants from Acceleron, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen, and OMT. The ASPIRE Registry is supported by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield, UK.
