To examine the clinical outcomes and associated prognostic factors among patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in China.
This retrospective study involved 243 patients with MDR-TB. All patients received standard regimens containing para-amino salicylic acid (PAS) and/or cycloserine (CS). The demographic, social and clinical characteristics of patients were recorded and the patients were followed up for 24 months.
Treatment success was closely associated with young age, non-farming occupations, shorter history or smoking, normal urine results, initial MDR-TB treatment regimen, increased haemoglobin, direct bilirubin, uric acid and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, and lower white blood cell, neutrophil and blood platelet counts (all P < 0.05). On multivariable analysis, increased haemoglobin (hazard ratio [HR] 1.019, 95%CI 1.007-1.032, P = 0.002) and TSH levels (HR 1.002, 95%CI 1.006-1.039, P = 0.008), normal urine results (HR 1.541, 95%CI 1.008-2.358, P = 0.046) and initial MDR-TB treatment regimen (HR 2.238, 95%CI 1.090-4.597, P = 0.028) were prognostic factors for treatment success in MDR-TB.
Higher haemoglobin and TSH levels, normal urine results and initial MDR-TB treatment regimen might predict successful treatment of MDR-TB.
研究中国耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)患者的临床结局及其相关预后因素。
本回顾性研究纳入了 243 例 MDR-TB 患者。所有患者均接受了包含对氨基水杨酸(PAS)和/或环丝氨酸(CS)的标准方案治疗。记录了患者的人口统计学、社会和临床特征,并对其进行了 24 个月的随访。
治疗成功与年龄较小、非务农职业、较短的病史或吸烟史、正常的尿液结果、初始 MDR-TB 治疗方案、血红蛋白、直接胆红素、尿酸和促甲状腺激素(TSH)水平升高以及白细胞、中性粒细胞和血小板计数降低有关(均 P < 0.05)。多变量分析显示,血红蛋白升高(风险比 [HR] 1.019,95%CI 1.007-1.032,P = 0.002)和 TSH 水平升高(HR 1.002,95%CI 1.006-1.039,P = 0.008)、尿液正常(HR 1.541,95%CI 1.008-2.358,P = 0.046)和初始 MDR-TB 治疗方案(HR 2.238,95%CI 1.090-4.597,P = 0.028)是 MDR-TB 治疗成功的预后因素。
较高的血红蛋白和 TSH 水平、正常的尿液结果和初始 MDR-TB 治疗方案可能预测 MDR-TB 的治疗成功。
