| dc.description.abstract | Intrapatient blood level variability (IPV) of calcineurin inhibitors has been associated with poor outcomes in solid-organ transplant, but data for heart transplant are scarce. Our purpose was to ascertain the clinical impact of IPV in a multi-institutional cohort of heart transplant recipients. We retrospectively studied patients aged ≥18 years, with a first heart transplant performed between 2000 and 2014 and surviving≥ 1 year. IPV was assessed by the coefficient of variation of trough levels from posttransplant months 4 to 12. A composite of rejection or mortality/graft loss or rejection and all-cause mortality/graft loss between years 1 to 5 posttransplant were analyzed by Cox regression analysis. The study group consisted of 1581 recipients (median age, 56 years; women, 21%). Cyclosporine immediate-release tacrolimus and prolonged-release tacrolimus were used in 790, 527 and 264 patients, respectively. On multivariable analysis, coefficient of variation> 27.8% showed a nonsignificant trend to association with 5-year rejection-free survival (HR, 1.298; 95%CI, 0.993-1.695; P=.056) and with 5-year mortality (HR, 1.387; 95%CI, 0.979-1.963; P=.065). Association with rejection became significant on analysis of only those patients without rejection episodes during the first year posttransplant (HR, 1.609; 95%CI, 1.129-2.295; P=.011). The tacrolimus-based formulation had less IPV than cyclosporine and better results with less influence of IPV. IPV of calcineurin inhibitors is only marginally associated with mid-term outcomes after heart transplant, particularly with the tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, although it could play a role in the most stable recipients. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Introducción y objetivos: El objetivo es estudiar el impacto clínico de la variabilidad intrapaciente (VIP) de la concentración sanguínea de los anticalcineurínicos en el trasplante cardiaco, pues la información actual es escasa. Métodos: Se analizó retrospectivamente a pacientes de edad ≥ 18 años con un trasplante cardiaco realizado entre 2000 y 2014 y con supervivencia ≥ 1 año. La VIP se valoró mediante el coeficiente de variación de concentraciones entre los meses 4 a 12 postrasplante. El compuesto de rechazo, mortalidad o pérdida del injerto y la mortalidad o pérdida del injerto 1-5 años tras el trasplante se analizaron mediante regresión de Cox. Resultados: Se estudió a 1.581 receptores (edad, 56 años; mujeres, 21%), tratados con ciclosporina (790 pacientes) o tacrolimus (791 pacientes). En el análisis multivariable, un coeficiente de variación > 27,8% tendió a asociarse con el compuesto de rechazo/mortalidad (HR = 1,298; IC95%, 0,993-1,695; p = 0,056) y con la mortalidad (HR = 1,387; IC95%, 0,979-1,963; p = 0,065) a los 5 años. La asociación con el rechazo fue significativa al analizar a la población sin rechazos durante el primer año del trasplante (HR = 1,609; IC95%, 1,129-2,295; p = 0,011). El tacrolimus tuvo menos VIP que la ciclosporina, junto con unos mejores resultados por la menor influencia de la VIP. Conclusiones: La VIP de los anticalcineurínicos, especialmente con la inmunosupresión basada en el tacrolimus, se asocia solo marginalmente con los resultados a medio plazo del trasplante cardiaco, aunque puede tener influencia en los pacientes más estables durante el primer año tras el trasplante. | |
