Anxiety and depression status in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and outcomes of nintedanib treatment: an observational study. Ann Med 2024; 56:2323097. [PMID: 38581666 PMCID: PMC11000612 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2323097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety and depression are common comorbidities in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that impair health-related quality of life. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the mental disorder of IPF after antifibrotic treatment and their related predictive factors. METHODS Patients with an initial diagnosis of IPF were enrolled. Data on demographics, lung function, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score(SGRQ-T) were collected. Changes in anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, and quality of life scores before and after nintedanib treatment were compared, and the related predictive factors were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 56 patients with a first diagnosis of IPF were enrolled, with 42 and 35 patients suffering from anxiety and depression, respectively. The GAD-7, PHQ-9, PHQ-15, and SGRQ scores were higher in the anxiety and depression groups. SGRQ total score (SGRQ-T) [OR = 1.075, 95%CI= (1.011, 1.142)] was an independent predictor of IPF combined with anxiety (p < 0.05); SGRQ-T [OR = 1.080, 95%CI= (1.001, 1.167)] was also an independent predictor of IPF combined with depression (p < 0.05). After treatment, GAD-7, PHQ-9, PHQ-15, and SGRQ scores decreased (p < 0.05). ΔSGRQ-T significantly affected ΔGAD-7 (β = 0.376, p = 0.009) and ΔPHQ-9 (β = 0.329, p = 0.022). CONCLUSION Anxiety and depression in IPF patients are closely related to somatic symptoms, pulmonary function, and quality of life. The SGRQ-T score is of great value for assessing anxiety and depression in patients with IPF. Short-term treatment with nintedanib antifibrotic therapy can alleviate anxiety and depression in IPF patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Children's rare lung diseases are a heterogeneous group of rare lung diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. There is very limited information on the incidence and prevalence of children's rare lung diseases in Asia. We investigated the nationwide incidence, prevalence, and pattern of medical service utilization of children's rare lung diseases in Korea. METHODS We studied patients who were diagnosed with rare lung diseases coded per International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Edition and registered in the national rare diseases database of confirmed patients. Data was extracted from the Korean National Health Insurance Service Claims database over 2019-2021. RESULTS Average incidence rate was 12.9 new cases per million children per year, and average prevalence rate was 60.2 cases per million children during the study period of 2019-2021. We found that more than 65% of new cases were diagnosed before 2 years of age. ChILD, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and cystic fibrosis were usually diagnosed after 6 years of age. Congenital airway and lung anomalies were often diagnosed before 2 years of age. Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do residents tended to visit hospitals near their place of residence, while residents of other areas tended to visit hospitals in Seoul regardless of their area of residence. CONCLUSIONS We examined the epidemiology of rare lung diseases in children in South Korea. Our estimation of the incidence and prevalence could be used for sustainable health care and equitable distribution of health care resources.

Hospitalisation patterns in interstitial lung diseases: data from the EXCITING-ILD registry. Respir Res 2024; 25:5. [PMID: 38178212 PMCID: PMC10765927 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-023-02588-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) comprise a heterogeneous group of mainly chronic lung diseases with more than 200 entities and relevant differences in disease course and prognosis. Little data is available on hospitalisation patterns in ILD. METHODS The EXCITING-ILD (Exploring Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of Interstitial Lung Diseases) registry was analysed for hospitalisations. Reasons for hospitalisation were classified as all cause, ILD-related and respiratory hospitalisations, and patients were analysed for frequency of hospitalisations, time to first non-elective hospitalisation, mortality and progression-free survival. Additionally, the risk for hospitalisation according to GAP index and ILD subtype was calculated by Cox proportional-hazard models as well as influencing factors on prediction of hospitalisation by logistic regression with forward selection. RESULTS In total, 601 patients were included. 1210 hospitalisations were recorded during the 6 months prior to registry inclusion until the last study visit. 800 (66.1%) were ILD-related, 59.3% of admissions were registered in the first year after inclusion. Mortality was associated with all cause, ILD-related and respiratory-related hospitalisation. Risk factors for hospitalisation were advanced disease (GAP Index stages II and III) and CTD (connective tissue disease)-ILDs. All cause hospitalisations were associated with pulmonary hypertension (OR 2.53, p = 0.005). ILD-related hospitalisations were associated with unclassifiable ILD and concomitant emphysema (OR = 2.133, p = 0.001) as well as with other granulomatous ILDs and a positive smoking status (OR = 3.082, p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Our results represent a crucial contribution in understanding predisposing factors for hospitalisation in ILD and its major impact on mortality. Further studies to characterize the most vulnerable patient group as well as approaches to prevent hospitalisations are warranted.

Adv Ther 2023; 40:5502-5518. [PMID: 37837527 PMCID: PMC10611590 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-023-02701-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Progression of fibrosis in interstitial lung diseases (ILD) has been associated with poor prognosis, lower quality of life for patients and caregivers, and higher healthcare costs. This study estimated the burden of disease and productivity loss of progressively fibrosing ILD, focusing on progressive pulmonary fibrosis other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (non-IPF PPF) and systemic sclerosis-associated ILD (SSc-ILD) in the European Economic Area (EEA). METHODS An economic model was built to estimate the clinical burden of SSc-ILD and non-IPF PPF. The model was based on published data on disease prevalence and disease burden (in terms of comorbidities, exacerbations, and deaths) as well as on productivity loss (in terms of sick days, early retirement, permanent disability, and job loss). Aggregate income loss was obtained by multiplying productivity loss by the median daily income in each country/area of investigation. A sensitivity analysis was performed to test the impact of the variability of the model assumptions. RESULTS In the whole EEA, a total of 86,794 and 13,221 individuals were estimated to be affected by non-IPF PPF and SSc-ILD, respectively. Estimated annual sick days associated with the diseases were 3,952,604 and 672,172, early retirements were 23,174 and 5341, permanently disabled patients were 41,748 and 4037, and job losses were 19,789 and 2617 for non-IPF PPF and SSc-ILD, respectively. Annual exacerbations were estimated to be 22,401-31,181 and 1259-1753, while deaths were 5791-6171 and 572-638 in non-IPF PPF and SSc-ILD, respectively. The estimated annual aggregate income loss in EEA, accounting for losses due to annual sick days, early retirements, and permanently disabled patients, was €1433 million and €220 million in non-IPF PPF and SSc-ILD, respectively. The productivity loss due to job losses was €194 million and €26 million in non-IPF PPF and SSc-ILD, respectively. The main driver of aggregate income loss variability was the prevalence. CONCLUSION The impact of non-IPF PPF and SSc-ILD on society is definitely non-negligible. Actions to reduce the burden on our societies are highly needed.

The economic burden of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Australia: a cost of illness study. THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF HEALTH ECONOMICS : HEPAC : HEALTH ECONOMICS IN PREVENTION AND CARE 2023; 24:1121-1139. [PMID: 36289130 PMCID: PMC10406709 DOI: 10.1007/s10198-022-01538-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of interstitial lung disease found mostly in elderly persons, characterized by a high symptom burden and frequent encounters with health services. This study aimed to quantify the economic burden of IPF in Australia with a focus on resource utilization and associated direct costs. METHODS Participants were recruited from the Australian IPF Registry (AIPFR) between August 2018 and December 2019. Data on resource utilization and costs were collected via cost diaries and linked administrative data. Clinical data were collected from the AIPFR. A "bottom up" costing methodology was utilized, and the costing was performed from a partial societal perspective focusing primarily on direct medical and non-medical costs. Costs were standardized to 2021 Australian dollars ($). RESULTS The average annual total direct costs per person with IPF was $31,655 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): $27,723-$35,757). Extrapolating costs based on prevalence estimates, the total annual costs in Australia are projected to be $299 million (95% CI: $262 million-$338 million). Costs were mainly driven by antifibrotic medication, hospital admissions and medications for comorbidities. Disease severity, comorbidities and antifibrotic medication all had varying impacts on resource utilization and costs. CONCLUSION This cost-of-illness study provides the first comprehensive assessment of IPF-related direct costs in Australia, identifies the key cost drivers and provides a framework for future health economic analyses. Additionally, it provided insight into the major cost drivers which include antifibrotic medication, hospital admissions and medications related to comorbidities. Our findings emphasize the importance of the appropriate management of comorbidities in the care of people with IPF as this was one of the main reasons for hospitalizations.
