Abstract
Purpose: To define the treatment response and long-term outcomes of a large IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) cohort. Methods: A total of 132 patients with a minimum follow-up of 1 year were included in this study. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Treatment response was assessed by the IgG4-RD responder index (IgG4-RD RI). Risk factors for relapse were analyzed with the multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: The median follow-up time was 39 months. Lacrimal gland involvement was detected in 87.9% of cases. Extraocular muscles, the trigeminal nerve, and other soft tissue were affected in 25.8, 6.1, and 18.2% of patients. The relapse rate of watchful waiting, glucocorticoid monotherapy, immunosuppressant monotherapy, and combination therapy was 50.0, 51.7, 50.0, and 26.7% (p = 0.038), respectively. The combination therapy group exhibited shorter glucocorticoids therapy duration (36 vs. 48 months, p = 0.009) and maintenance period (24 vs. 42 months, p = 0.003). At the 6th month, the median IgG4-RD RI declined from 12 to 1 and 105 (79.5%) patients achieved complete response (CR). Relapse occurred in 49 (37.1%) patients. The multivariate Cox regression analysis exhibited that CR at the 6th month was an independent protective factor for relapse. Patients with multiple ocular lesions suffered from a higher risk of relapse. No patient had severe adverse reactions to the treatment in this study. Conclusion: Relapse was common in patients with IgG4-ROD. Patients receiving combination therapy showed a lower relapse rate and a shorter glucocorticoids therapy period. The presence of multiple ocular lesions was associated with a higher risk of relapse. CR at the 6th month might be a predictor for a better prognosis in IgG4-ROD. Thus, a more aggressive regimen should be prescribed for patients with a poor initial response.

Zhou W, Li Y, Yan C, Zheng L, Liu F, Sun C. The prevalence of extra-salivary gland complications in immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis. Oral Dis 2021; 28:1468-1483. [PMID: 34048116 DOI: 10.1111/odi.13926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence of extra-glandular lesions in patients with immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-RS). METHODS Six electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were systematically searched from the date of inception of each database to March 2021. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology statement was used to conduct methodological quality assessment, and a random-effect meta-analysis model was applied to estimate the prevalence. Publication bias was visually assessed using a funnel plot and calculated via Begg's and Egger's tests. The Stata 15 software was used to perform data analysis. RESULTS A total of 43 articles comprising 1,864 patients with IgG4-RS were considered to be eligible for this study. The pooled prevalence of extra-salivary gland lesions in IgG4-RS was 76.53% with a confidence interval (CI) of (69.39%, 83.04%). A higher prevalence was associated with studies published before or during 2015 (84.38%, CI [74.23%, 92.58%]) than those published after 2015 (68.55%, CI [58.44%, 77.88%]). Lacrimal gland involvement (54.68%, CI [45.61%, 63.60%]) and lymph node swelling (56.96%, CI [48.16%, 65.56%]) were the most frequent lesions. CONCLUSIONS Extra-glandular lesions were common in patients with IgG4-RS. More high-quality prospective studies with less heterogeneity are required to determine the accurate prevalence.
