RESUMO

Background: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), defined as a normal ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (≥0.70) with low FEV1 (<80% predicted), has been associated with increased mortality in the general population. Female sex has been associated with increased odds of PRISm in people without HIV. People with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for lung function abnormalities, but whether HIV modifies the effect of sex on PRISm development is largely unknown. Methods: Adults with and without HIV underwent baseline followed by serial spirometry after completing therapy for pneumonia, predominantly tuberculosis (TB), in Kampala, Uganda. Using generalized estimating equations adjusted for age, body mass index, smoking, biomass fuel exposure, HIV, and TB status, we compared individuals with PRISm with those with normal spirometry. These models were stratified by HIV status. Results: Of 339 baseline participants, 153 (45%) were women; 129 (38%) had HIV, of whom 53% were women. Overall, 105/339 participants (31%) had PRISm at baseline. HIV was associated with lower odds of PRISm (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.38; 95% CI, 0.21-0.68; P = .001). Female sex trended toward increased odds of PRISm among all participants (aOR, 1.65; 95% CI, 0.99-2.75; P = .052). The association between female sex and PRISm tended to be stronger among PWH (aOR, 3.16; 95% CI, 1.14-8.76; P = .03) than among those without HIV (aOR, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.73-2.45; P = .34); this study was underpowered to detect an HIV-sex interaction of this magnitude (P = .30). Conclusions: Among Ugandan adults who recovered from pneumonia, female sex was associated with increased odds and HIV with decreased odds of PRISm, suggesting independent sex and HIV effects on PRISm pathogenesis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: An isolated reduction in the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco; iso↓DLco) is one of the most common pulmonary function test (PFT) abnormalities in people living with HIV (PWH), but its clinical implications are incompletely understood. In this study, we explored whether iso↓DLco in PWH is associated with a greater respiratory symptom burden. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis. METHODS: We used ATS/ERS compliant PFTs from PWH with normal spirometry (post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ≥0.7; FEV1, FVC ≥80% predicted) from the I AM OLD cohort in San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA, grouped by DLco categorized as normal (DLco ≥lower limit of normal, LLN), mild iso↓DLco (LLN >DLco >60% predicted), and moderate-severe iso↓DLco (DLco ≤60% predicted). We performed multivariable analyses to test for associations between DLco and validated symptom-severity and quality of life questionnaires, including the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC), the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), as well as between DLco and individual CAT symptoms. RESULTS: Mild iso↓DLco was associated only with a significantly higher SGRQ score. Moderate-severe iso↓DLco was associated with significantly higher odds of mMRC ≥2 and significantly higher CAT and SGRQ scores. PWH with moderate-severe iso↓DLco had increased odds of breathlessness, decreased activity, lower confidence leaving home, and less energy. CONCLUSIONS: Iso↓DLco is associated with worse respiratory symptom scores, and this association becomes stronger with worsening DLco, suggesting that impaired gas exchange alone has a significant negative impact on the quality of life in PWH. Additional studies are ongoing to understand the etiology of this finding and design appropriate interventions.
