dc.description.abstract | Background and Objectives: Sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common acquired myopathy in individuals over age 50. The disorder is slowly progressive and while many therapies have been investigated, response has generally been poor. Clinical heterogeneity may influence treatment responsiveness; however, data regarding heterogeneity in IBM is limited and often conflicting. We aim to identify clinically distinct subgroups within a large IBM cohort, as well as prognostic factors for disease progression. Methods: Clinical, histologic, radiologic, and electrophysiologic data were analyzed for all patients with IBM and other forms of myositis enrolled in a longitudinal cohort from The Johns Hopkins Myositis Center from 2003-2018. Univariate, multivariate, and graphical analyses were used to identify prognostic factors in IBM patients. Results: Among the 335 IBM patients meeting inclusion criteria, 64% were male with an average age of disease onset of 58·7 years and a delay to diagnosis of 5·2 years. Initial misdiagnosis (52%) and immunosuppressant treatment (42%) were common. Less than half (43%) of muscle biopsies demonstrated all three pathologic hallmarks: endomysial inflammation, mononuclear cell invasion, and rimmed vacuoles. Black patients had significantly weaker arm abductors, hip flexors, and knee flexors compared to non-Black patients but were less likely to develop dysphagia. Female patients had stronger finger flexors and knee extensors compared to their male counterparts but were more likely to develop dysphagia. A significant number (20%) of patients had an age of onset less than 50 years. This group of younger patients was weaker at their first visit; however, this may be accounted for by a longer disease duration at first visit. Discussion: Although IBM has long been considered a disorder predominately of older, White men, female, and non-White patients comprise a significant proportion of the IBM population. Our study demonstrates that female and Black patients have distinct clinical phenotypes within the overarching IBM clinical phenotype. | en |
