Abstract
ZusammenfassungHintergrundStudien haben gezeigt, dass das bullöse Pemphigoid (BP) auch bei Patienten mit chronischer Nierenerkrankung (CKD, chronic kidney disease) auftritt. Unklar ist, wie hoch das BP‐Risiko bei CKD‐Patienten ist.ZielsetzungEs sollte untersucht werden, ob eine CKD das BP‐Risiko erhöht.MethodikDie Studienteilnehmer wurden für den Zeitraum von 2007 bis 2018 aus der nationalen Datenbank der taiwanesischen Krankenversicherung rekrutiert. Insgesamt wurden 637 664 neu diagnostizierte Patienten mit CKD sowie 637 664 nach Alter, Geschlecht und Komorbidität übereinstimmende Kontrollpersonen ohne CKD in die Untersuchung aufgenommen. Zur Bewertung des BP‐Risikos kam ein Modell für konkurrierende Risiken zum Einsatz.ErgebnisseNach Adjustierung für Alter, Geschlecht und Komorbidität im multivariaten Modell zeigte sich die CKD als signifikanter Risikofaktor für BP (adjustierte Hazard Ratio [aHR]: 1,29; 95%‐Konfidenzintervall [KI]: 1,17–1,42; p < 0,001). CKD‐Patienten wurden in die Gruppen dialysepflichtig und nicht‐dialysepflichtig unterteilt und mit den Patienten ohne CKD verglichen. Es zeigte sich, dass dialysepflichtige CKD‐Patienten das höchste BP‐Risiko aufwiesen (aHR 1,75; 95%‐KI 1,51–2,03), gefolgt von nicht‐dialysepflichtigen CKD‐Patienten (aHR 1,20; 95%‐KI 1,08–1,32).LimitationenDetaillierte Laborbefunde zur Einschätzung des CKD‐Schweregrads fehlten.SchlussfolgerungenIm Vergleich zu Personen ohne CKD hatten Patienten mit CKD ein 1,3‐fach erhöhtes BP‐Risiko. Bei Patienten mit dialysepflichtiger CKD war das Risiko 1,8‐fach erhöht.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have shown that bullous pemphigoid (BP) occurs in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the risk of developing BP in patients with CKD remains inconclusive. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether CKD increases the risk of BP. METHODS Participants were recruited from the National Health Insurance Database of Taiwan between 2007 and 2018. Overall, 637,664 newly diagnosed patients with CKD and 637,664 age-, sex-, and comorbidity-matched non-CKD participants were selected. A competing risk model was used to evaluate the risk of development of BP. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, and comorbid diseases in the multivariate model, CKD was a significant risk factor for BP (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.29; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17-1.42; p < 0.001). CKD patients were classified into the dialytic or non-dialytic groups and compared to non-CKD participants, and this revealed that patients with dialysis-dependent CKD had the highest risk of BP (aHR 1.75; 95% CI 1.51-2.03), followed by patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD (aHR 1.20; 95% CI 1.08-1.32). LIMITATIONS We lacked detailed laboratory data on the severity of CKD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with individuals without CKD, those with CKD had a 1.3-fold increased risk of BP. Patients with dialysis-dependent CKD had an even higher BP risk (1.8-fold).

J Am Heart Assoc 2023; 12:e029740. [PMID: 37642024 PMCID: PMC10547313 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.029740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Background Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) share similar pathophysiology with venous thromboembolism (VTE) involving platelet activation, immune dysregulation, and systemic inflammation. Nevertheless, their associations have not been well established. Methods and Results To examine the risk of incident VTE among patients with BP or PV, we performed a nationwide cohort study using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database and enrolled 12 162 adults with BP or PV and 12 162 controls. A Cox regression model considering stabilized inverse probability weighting was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) for incident VTE associated with BP or PV. To consolidate the findings, a meta-analysis that incorporated results from the present cohort study with previous literature was also conducted. Compared with controls, patients with BP or PV had an increased risk for incident VTE (HR, 1.87 [95% CI, 1.55-2.26]; P<0.001). The incidence of VTE was 6.47 and 2.20 per 1000 person-years in the BP and PV cohorts, respectively. The risk for incident VTE significantly increased among patients with BP (HR, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.52-2.24]; P<0.001) and PV (HR, 1.99 [95% CI, 1.02-3.91]; P=0.04). In the meta-analysis of 8 studies including ours, BP and PV were associated with an increased risk for incident VTE (pooled relative risk, 2.17 [95% CI, 1.82-2.62]; P<0.001). Conclusions BP and PV are associated with an increased risk for VTE. Preventive approaches and cardiovascular evaluation should be considered particularly for patients with BP or PV with concomitant risk factors such as hospitalization or immobilization.

Ma SH, Wu CY, Lyu YS, Chou YJ, Chang YT, Wu CY. Association between sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and risk of bullous pemphigoid in patients with type 2 diabetes: A nationwide population-based cohort study. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2022; 36:1318-1324. [PMID: 35344615 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.18106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Certain anti-diabetic agents have been linked to the development of bullous pemphigoid (BP). However, the relationship between BP and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) remains inconclusive. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between SGLT2i usage and BP. METHODS Participants were recruited from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database between 2007 and 2018. A total of 149,060 patients with diabetes receiving SGLT2i were matched 1:2 with diabetic patients without SGLT2i usage. Factors such as age, sex, duration of diabetes condition, DPP4i usage, insulin usage, and selected comorbidities were included in the multivariate analysis. RESULTS Compared with the control, the 2-year-cumulative incidence was significantly low in patients using SGLT2i after adjustment for competing mortality. Patients with diabetes receiving SGLT2i had a low risk (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0·56, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0·33-0·96) for BP after adjustment for potential confounders. Age (HR, 1·06), renal disease (HR, 1·79), cerebrovascular disease (HR, 3·23), epilepsy (HR, 3·07), DPP4i users (HR: 2·55), and insulin users (HR: 2·56) were significant risk factors for BP. CONCLUSIONS The risk of BP did not increase in patients receiving SGLT2i. Thus, SGLT2i could be a safe choice for patients with diabetes having additional risk factors or a history of BP.
