Little is known about outcomes of patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) who are treated in the private sector in India.
To describe the treatment outcomes of daily anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT) and their determinants among HIV-TB co-infected patients treated at a private clinic in Pune, India.
Data on adult HIV-TB co-infected patients treated with daily ATT were analysed using logistic regression and Cox model to assess risk factors for default and death.
Of 769 cases, 78% were aged <45 years, 71% were males, 64% had CD4 < 200 cells/mm, 67% were antiretroviral treatment (ART) naïve at TB diagnosis, 53% had extra-pulmonary TB, and 12% had a past history of TB. ATT was successfully completed by 58.5%, 34.3% defaulted (i.e., discontinued ATT for >2 months) and 3.9% died during ATT. The risk of default was higher among males (aOR 1.67, 95%CI 1.17-2.39), ART-naïve patients (aOR 1.91, 95%CI 1.34-2.73) and those with a past history of TB (aOR 1.86, 95%CI 1.15-3.01). Survival probability at 365 days was 95% (95%CI 93-97). The risk of death was higher among patients with CD4 < 50 cells/mm (aHR 4.63, 95%CI 1.47-14.65) than in those with CD4 > 200 cells/mm.
Low overall mortality was seen with daily ATT in HIV-TB co-infected patients. High default rates in private facilities warrant urgent attention.
在印度私立部门接受治疗的同时感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)和结核病(TB)的患者的治疗结果鲜为人知。
描述在印度浦那一家私立诊所接受治疗的HIV-TB合并感染患者每日抗结核治疗(ATT)的治疗结果及其决定因素。
使用逻辑回归和Cox模型分析接受每日ATT治疗的成年HIV-TB合并感染患者的数据,以评估违约和死亡的风险因素。
在769例病例中,78%年龄小于45岁,71%为男性,64%的CD4细胞计数<200个/立方毫米,67%在结核病诊断时未接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART),53%患有肺外结核,12%有结核病既往史。58.5%的患者成功完成了ATT,34.3%的患者违约(即中断ATT超过2个月),3.9%的患者在ATT期间死亡。男性(调整后比值比[aOR]1.67,95%置信区间[CI]1.17-2.39)、未接受ART治疗的患者(aOR 1.91,95%CI 1.34-2.73)和有结核病既往史的患者(aOR 1.86,95%CI 1.15-3.01)违约风险更高。365天时的生存概率为95%(95%CI 93-97)。CD4细胞计数<50个/立方毫米的患者死亡风险(调整后风险比[aHR]4.63,95%CI 1.47-14.65)高于CD4细胞计数>200个/立方毫米的患者。
HIV-TB合并感染患者每日ATT的总体死亡率较低。私立机构的高违约率值得紧急关注。
