To investigate the status of anti-tuberculosis treatment in critically ill patients, and to explore the value of APACHE-II score in guiding anti-tuberculosis treatment.
This analysis included critically ill patients with tuberculosis. The utility of APACHE-II score for predicting drug withdrawal was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Among 320 patients enrolled (58 ± 22 years; 256 males), 147 (45.9%) had drugs withdrawn. The drug withdrawal group had higher APACHE-II score (median [interquartile range]: 21 [3-52] vs. 17 [4-42] points), higher CD4%, lower hemoglobin level, higher rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic renal failure, and lower rate of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (P < 0.05). Logistic regression identified APACHE-II score > 18 (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.099 [1.321-3.334], P < 0.01), COPD (1.913 [1.028-3.561], P < 0.05) and hemoglobin level (0.987 [0.977-0.997], P < 0.05) as independent factors associated with drug withdrawal. At an optimal cutoff of 18.5, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of APACHE-II score for predicting drug withdrawal was 59.2, 61.8, 56.9 and 64.1%, respectively.
APACHE-II score > 18 points might predict patient tolerance of anti-tuberculosis treatment.
为了调查危重症结核病患者的抗结核治疗状况,并探讨急性生理学与慢性健康状况评分系统Ⅱ(APACHE-Ⅱ)评分在指导抗结核治疗中的价值。
本分析纳入了结核病危重症患者。采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析评估 APACHE-Ⅱ评分预测停药的效能。
共纳入 320 例患者(58±22 岁;256 例男性),147 例(45.9%)患者停药。停药组的 APACHE-Ⅱ评分较高(中位数[四分位间距]:21[3-52]分比 17[4-42]分),CD4%较高,血红蛋白水平较低,慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)和慢性肾衰竭的发生率较高,肺外结核病的发生率较低(P<0.05)。Logistic 回归分析确定 APACHE-Ⅱ评分>18 分(比值比[95%置信区间]:2.099[1.321-3.334],P<0.01)、COPD(1.913[1.028-3.561],P<0.05)和血红蛋白水平(0.987[0.977-0.997],P<0.05)是与停药相关的独立因素。APACHE-Ⅱ评分预测停药的最佳截断值为 18.5 时,其灵敏度、特异度、阳性预测值和阴性预测值分别为 59.2%、61.8%、56.9%和 64.1%。
APACHE-Ⅱ评分>18 分可能预示患者对抗结核治疗的耐受性。
