This study aimed to identify the long-term clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) confirmed by right heart catheterisation.A multicentre prospective cohort of SLE-associated PAH was established. Baseline and follow-up records were collected. The primary end-point was death. The secondary exploratory end-point was treatment goal achievement (TGA), defined as an integrated outcome.In total, 310 patients were enrolled from 14 PAH centres. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 92.1%, 84.8% and 72.9%, respectively. The 1-, 3- and 5-year TGA rates were 31.5%, 53.6% and 62.7%, respectively. Baseline serositis, 6-min walking distance >380 m and cardiac index ≥2.5 L·min−1·m−2 were identified as independent prognostic factors of TGA. Patients with baseline serositis were more likely to reach TGA after intensive immunosuppressive therapy. TGA was identified as a positive predictor of survival in patients with SLE-associated PAH.TGA was associated with long-term survival, which supports the treat-to-target strategy in SLE-associated PAH. Baseline heart function predicted both survival and treatment goal achievement in patients with SLE-associated PAH. Patients with serositis at baseline tended to benefit from intensive immunosuppressive therapy and have a better clinical outcome.

Background:Based on the characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SLE-PAH), Sunet alhas put forward a scoring system to distinguish two clinical phenotypes as vasculitic and vasculopathic subtypes[1]. A weighted score ≥2 suggested a vasculitic subtype by combining two factors: The time interval between SLE and PAH diagnosis <2 years and ≥2 years were 1 and 0 point; SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) >9, 5-9 and <5 were 2, 1, 0 point, respectively. While the vasculitic subtype seemed to have poorer prognosis in Sun’s research, other study has shown controversial result[2].Objectives:To find out the prognosis of two distinct clinical phenotypes of SLE-PAH.Methods:Between 2008 and 2019, a SLE-PAH cohort confirmed by right heart catheterization (RHC) from Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital was included. Other groups of pulmonary hypertension were excluded. Based on the scoring system, patients were divided into vasculitic (weighted score≥2) and vasculopathic subtypes (weighted score<2). The endpoint was PAH-related mortality. Survival status were confirmed by clinic follow-up data or phone call.Results:A total of 53 SLE-PAH patients were enrolled. The cases of vasculitic and vasculopathic subtype were 14 and 39, respectively. Ten endpoint events occurred. Eight attributed to PAH and the cause could not be traced in two which were still included in study. The pooled 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates were 85.7%, 78.6%, 65.5% in vasculitic subtype, and 93.9%, 87.5%, 87.5% in vasculopathic subtype, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed vasculitic subtype tended to have a poorer prognosis than vasculopathic subtype (p=0.16, HR 2.4, 95%CI 0.5-13.8, figure 1).Figure 1.Survival curves for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus-pulmonary arterial hypertension (SLE-PAH) in two distinct subtypes. RHC, Right Heart Catheterization.Conclusion:The prognosis of the two phenotypes of SLE-PAH was statistically indifferent while the vasculitic subtype showed a trend of worse prognosis. Further studies are needed.References:[1]F. Sun, Y. Lei, W. Wu, L. Guo, K. Wang, Z. Chen, W. Xu, X. Wang, T. Li, X. Zhang, S.
