Associations between serum mitokine levels and outcomes in stable COPD: an observational prospective study.

ABSTRACT: Mitokines (Humanin (HN), GDF15 and FGF21) are produced as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction and may have major roles in chronic inflammation, malnutrition and exercise capacity in people with COPD. Except for GDF15, studies on this subject are lacking. A total of 165 patients with stable COPD and 49 smokers without COPD were enrolled. We assessed their serum mitokine levels and clinical characteristics at baseline. We recorded moderate and severe exacerbation for the next 12 months. Baseline serum HN (p = 0.037) and GDF-15 (p = 0.013) levels were higher in the COPD group. High HN levels were independently associated with a high risk of exacerbation (HRE) (OR 2.798, 95% CI 1.266-6.187, p = 0.011), malnutrition (OR 6.645, 95% CI 1.859-23.749, p = 0.004), and 6MWD (OR 0.995, 95% CI 0.991-0.999, p = 0.008), and future moderate (HR 1.826, 95% CI 1.181-2.822, p = 0.007) and severe exacerbations (HR 3.445, 95% CI 1.357-8.740, p = 0.009). High GDF15 levels were associated with HRE (OR 3.028, 95% CI 1.134-8.083, p = 0.027), 6MWD (OR 0.995, 95% CI 0.990-0.999, p = 0.017) and predicted desaturation in 6MWT (OR 3.999, 95% CI 1.487-10.757, p = 0.006). High FGF21 levels were associated with HRE (OR 2.144, 95% CI 1.000-4.600, p = 0.05), and predicted future severe exacerbation (HR 4.217, 95% CI 1.459-12.193, p = 0.008). The mitokine levels were higher in patients with COPD than smokers without COPD, and were associated with important clinical outcomes such as exercise capacity and COPD exacerbation. Among the mitokines, HN showed the strongest association with COPD and may serve as a future risk biomarker in this disease.Trial registation NCT04449419.

Project description:IntroductionThis study investigated the effects of total cholesterol levels on prevalent, and incident suicidal behaviors according to age group (<60 vs. ≥60 years) in depressed patients.MethodsConsecutive outpatients with depressive disorders who visited the Chonnam National University Hospital between March 2012 and April 2017 were recruited. Among 1,262 patients assessed at baseline, 1,094 agreed to blood sampling for measurement of serum total cholesterol levels. Among the patients, 884 completed the 12-week acute treatment phase and were followed up at least once during the 12-month continuation treatment phase. Suicidal behaviors assessed at baseline included baseline suicidal severity; behaviors assessed at the 1-year follow-up included increased suicidal severity and fatal/non-fatal suicide attempts. Associations of baseline total cholesterol levels with the above-mentioned suicidal behaviors were analyzed using logistic regression models after adjustment for relevant covariates.ResultsOf 1,094 depressed patients, 753 (68.8%) were women. The mean (SD) age of patients was 57.0 (14.9) years. Lower total cholesterol levels (87-161 mg/dl) were associated with increased suicidal severity (Linear Wald = 4.478, p < 0.05) and fatal/non-fatal suicide attempt (Linear Wald = 7.490, p < 0.01) in patients <60 years of age. U-shaped associations between total cholesterol levels and 1-year follow-up suicidal outcomes (increased suicidal severity, Quadratic Wald = 6.299, p < 0.05; fatal/non-fatal suicide attempt, Quadratic Wald = 5.697, p < 0.05) were observed in patients ≥60 years of age.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that differential consideration of serum total cholesterol levels according to age group may have clinical utility for predicting suicidality in patients with depressive disorders. However, because our research participants came from a single-hospital, the generalizability of our findings may be limited.

Project description:BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management in China is far from adequate; underdiagnosis and undertreatment are major barriers to optimal care and improved patient outcomes.ObjectiveTo generate reliable information on COPD management, outcomes, treatment patterns and adherence, and disease knowledge in China in a real-world setting.DesignA 52-week multicentre, prospective, observational study.MethodsOutpatients (⩾40 years old) diagnosed with COPD were enrolled from 50 secondary and tertiary hospitals across six geographical regions. Data were collected in routine clinical practice.ResultsBetween June 2017 and January 2019, 5013 patients were enrolled and 4978 included in the analysis. Mean [standard deviation (SD)] age was 66.2 (8.9) years, 79.5% were male and 90% had moderate-to-very-severe airflow limitation. Annual rates of overall and severe exacerbation were 0.56 and 0.31, respectively. During 1 year, 1536 (30.8%) patients experienced ⩾1 exacerbation and 960 (19.3%) patients had ⩾1 exacerbation requiring hospitalization/emergency visit. Mean (SD) COPD assessment test score was 14.6 (7.6) at baseline and 10.6 (6.8) at follow-up; however, 42-55% of patients had persistent dyspnoea, chest tightness and wheezing at 1 year. The most prescribed treatments were inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) (36.0%), ICS/LABA + long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) (17.7%) and LAMA monotherapy (15.3%). Among patients with high exacerbation risk (GOLD Groups C and D), 10.1% and 13.1%, respectively, did not receive any long-acting inhalers; only 53.8% and 63.6% of Group C and D patients with ⩾1 exacerbation during follow-up were prescribed ICS-containing therapy, respectively. Mean (SD) adherence for long-acting inhalers was 59.0% (34.3%). Mean (SD) score for the COPD questionnaire was 6.7 (2.4).ConclusionThese results indicate a high burden of severe exacerbations and symptoms in Chinese outpatients with COPD, and low adherence with treatment guidelines, highlighting the need for more effective management nationwide.RegistrationThe trial was registered on 20 March 2017 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03131362).
