Mental disorders and alcohol/drug use worsen treatment outcomes for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), but data are lacking for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB. We investigated the association of baseline mental disorders and alcohol/drug use on XDR-TB treatment outcomes in a retrospective study of 53 XDR-TB Peruvian patients during 2010-2012. Logistic regression estimated the odds ratios for unfavourable XDR-TB treatment outcomes. Overall treatment success was 25%. Mental disorders and drug/alcohol use were found in respectively 22.4% and 20.4% of patients; neither were associated with unfavourable treatment outcomes. Future research should explore the relationship between mental health and drug/alcohol use in XDR-TB treatment outcomes.
精神障碍和酒精/药物使用会使耐多药结核病(TB)的治疗结果恶化,但关于广泛耐药(XDR)结核病的数据却很缺乏。在一项对2010 - 2012年期间53例秘鲁XDR - TB患者的回顾性研究中,我们调查了基线精神障碍和酒精/药物使用与XDR - TB治疗结果之间的关联。逻辑回归估计了XDR - TB治疗结果不佳的比值比。总体治疗成功率为25%。分别在22.4%和20.4%的患者中发现了精神障碍和药物/酒精使用情况;两者均与治疗结果不佳无关。未来的研究应探索心理健康与XDR - TB治疗结果中药物/酒精使用之间的关系。
