[目的] 探讨类风湿性关节炎-相关间质性肺病(RA-ILD)的中医证型特征和影响RA-ILD早发的风险因素。[方法] 筛选RA-ILD住院电子病历,提取性别、年龄、吸烟史、症状、体征、RA中医证型、RA诊断时间、RA-ILD诊断时间和胸部高分辨率CT(HRCT)特征等资料,采用回顾性分析,评价RA-ILD发病时间、病理学分型和早发影响因素。[结果] 筛选130例,剔除11例,纳入研究119例,其中肝肾阴虚型54例、气血两虚型36例、风湿热郁型19例、风寒湿阻型10例。发病时间比较,全部病例平均发病时间约11 a,中位发病时间约7 a,平均和中位发病时间均呈风湿热郁型〈风寒湿阻型〈气血两虚型〈肝肾阴虚趋势,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05);病理学分型以普通性间质性肺炎(UIP,65.5%)和非特异性间质性肺炎(NSIP,30.3%)为主,风湿热郁型(52.6%)和肝肾阴虚型(96.3%)UIP发生率高,风寒湿阻型(90.0%)和气血两虚型(55.6%)NSIP发生率高,组间比较,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。多因素Cox比例风险回归分析,RA中医证型是RA-ILD早发(≤ 7 a)的影响因素,RA实证与虚证相比,RA-ILD早发风险增加约2倍(HR 2.972,95%CI:1.775,4.976)。[结论] RA中医分型与RA-ILD病理类型有一定对应关系,风湿热郁型和风寒湿阻型RA更易早发RA-ILD,该结论尚需前瞻性研究确证。
[Objective] To investigate the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome and influence factors related to early onset of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD).[Methods] Clinical data, such as gender, age, smoking history, symptoms and signs, TCM syndrome, diagnostic time for RA and RA-ILD and characteristics of chest HRCT, of inpatient with RA-ILD, were analyzed retrospectively. Onset time, pathological types and influence factors related to early onset of RA-ILD were evaluated.[Results] A total of 130 patients were filtered and 11 patients were deleted. So 119 patients were identified, of whom 54 liver-kidney yin deficiency type, 36 asthenia of qi and blood type, 19 beriberoid pyretic arthralgia type and 10 wind-cold-damp retention type. The mean and median onset time respectively were 11 years and 7 years of these patients, and both of them showed a trend as beriberoid pyretic arthralgia type 〈 wind-cold-damp retention type 〈 asthenia of qi and blood type 〈 liver-kidney yin deficiency type with significant differences. UIP (65.5%) and NSIP (30.3%) were the main pathological types. Iincidence rate of beriberoid pyretic arthralgia type (52.6%) and liver-kidney yin deficiency type(96.3%) in UIP and wind-cold-damp retention type(90.0%) and asthenia of qi and blood type(55.6%) in NSIP were significant higher. The results of multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that TCM syndrome of RA was the influence factor related to early onset(≤ 7 years) of RA-ILD, and excess syndrome of RA raised the risk two times.[Conclusion] There is a certain degree of correlation between TCM syndrome of RA and pathological type of RA-ILD, and onset times of RA-ILD of beriberoid pyretic arthralgia type and wind-cold-damp retention type are earlier than the other types. This conclusion should be further confirmed by prospective studies.
