National tuberculosis (TB) treatment facility in the country of Georgia.
To determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and pre-DM among patients with TB using glycosylated-hemoglobin (HbA1c), and to estimate the association between DM and clinical characteristics and response to anti-tuberculosis treatment.
A cohort study was conducted from 2011 to 2014 at the National Centre for TB and Lung Disease in Tbilisi. Patients aged ⩾ 35 years with pulmonary TB were included. HbA1c was used to define DM (⩾ 6.5%), pre-DM (⩾ 5.7-6.4%), and no DM (<5.7%). Interviews and medical chart abstraction were performed. Regression analyses estimated associations between DM and 1) baseline TB characteristics and 2) anti-tuberculosis treatment outcomes.
A total of 318 newly diagnosed patients with TB were enrolled. The prevalence of DM and pre-DM was 11.6% and 16.4%, respectively. In multivariable analyses, patients with TB-DM had more cavitation (adjusted OR [aOR] 2.26), higher smear grade (aOR 2.37), and more multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) (aOR 2.27) than patients without DM. The risk of poor anti-tuberculosis treatment outcomes was similar among patients with and those without DM (28.1% vs. 23.6%).
DM and pre-DM were common among adults with newly diagnosed pulmonary TB in Tbilisi, Georgia, and DM was associated with more clinical symptoms, and MDR-TB, at presentation.
格鲁吉亚国家结核病治疗机构。
使用糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)测定结核病患者中糖尿病(DM)和糖尿病前期(pre-DM)的患病率,并评估DM与临床特征及抗结核治疗反应之间的关联。
2011年至2014年在第比利斯的国家结核病和肺部疾病中心进行了一项队列研究。纳入年龄≥35岁的肺结核患者。使用HbA1c定义DM(≥6.5%)、pre-DM(≥5.7 - 6.4%)和非DM(<5.7%)。进行了访谈和病历摘要分析。回归分析评估了DM与1)基线结核病特征和2)抗结核治疗结果之间的关联。
共纳入318例新诊断的结核病患者。DM和pre-DM的患病率分别为11.6%和16.4%。在多变量分析中,与无DM的患者相比,结核病合并DM的患者有更多空洞形成(调整后比值比[aOR] 2.26)、更高的涂片分级(aOR 2.37)和更多的耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)(aOR 2.27)。有DM和无DM的患者抗结核治疗效果不佳的风险相似(28.1%对23.6%)。
在格鲁吉亚第比利斯,新诊断的成年肺结核患者中DM和pre-DM很常见,且DM与更多的临床症状以及就诊时的MDR-TB相关。
