OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk and protective factors of serious infection (SI) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) within 180 days of rituximab (RTX) treatment.
METHODS: Patients with SLE treated with RTX were analyzed. SI was defined as any infectious disease requiring hospitalization. The clinical characteristics, laboratory profiles, medications, and incidence rate (IR) are presented. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier analysis for risk factors of SI were performed.
RESULTS: A total of 174 patients with SLE receiving RTX treatment were enrolled. The overall IR of SIs was 51.0/100 patient-years (PYs). Pneumonia (30.4/100 PYs), followed by soft tissue infections, intra-abdominal infections, and Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (all 6.1/100 PYs) were the leading types of SIs. Twelve patients died during the 180-day follow-up (crude mortality rate: 14.6/100 PYs). Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (hazard ratio [HR] 2.88, 95% CI 1.30-6.38), and a background prednisolone (PSL) equivalent dosage ≥ 15 mg/day (HR 3.50, 95% CI 1.57-7.78) were risk factors for SIs among all patients with SLE. Kaplan-Meier analysis confirmed the risk of SI for patients with SLE with CKD and a background PSL equivalent dosage ≥ 15 mg/day (log-rank P = 0.001 and 0.02, respectively). Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) reduced the risk of SIs in patients with SLE (HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15-0.82; log-rank P = 0.003).
CONCLUSION: SI was prevalent in patients with SLE after RTX treatment. Patients with SLE with CKD and high-dose glucocorticoid use required constant vigilance. HCQ may reduce the risk of SI among patients with SLE administered RTX.
