Sirolimus reduces the risk of pneumothorax recurrence in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis: a historical prospective self-controlled study

Abstract Background Spontaneous pneumothorax has a high incidence and high rate of recurrence in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). The risk factors for pneumothorax and the effects of sirolimus on pneumothorax in patients with LAM are unknown. In our study, multivariate logistic regressi...

description Abstract Background Spontaneous pneumothorax has a high incidence and high rate of recurrence in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). The risk factors for pneumothorax and the effects of sirolimus on pneumothorax in patients with LAM are unknown. In our study, multivariate logistic regression was applied to a cross-sectional cohort to investigate factors associated with pneumothorax in LAM patients. Kaplan–Meier analysis was applied in the historical prospective self-controlled study to determine whether sirolimus reduces the risk of pneumothorax recurrence in patients with LAM. Results Of the 399 patients registered with LAM-CHINA at our center between May 10, 2017 and August 31, 2020, 142 had a history of pneumothorax at registration. High CT grade and age at presentation ≤ 35 years were associated with a higher risk of pneumothorax in patients with LAM. Postmenopausal status was correlated with a lower risk of pneumothorax. In the historical prospective self-controlled study, the 5-year probability of pneumothorax recurrence was 80% lower in the sirolimus group than in the control group (hazard ratio for pneumothorax recurrence, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.30, P < 0.001 by log-rank test). Conclusion Sirolimus reduced the risk of pneumothorax recurrence in LAM patients.
