Tuberculosis remains deadliest communicable diseases accountable for health problem among various individuals annually and is related to malnutrition. Addressing nutritional deficiency in Tuberculosis patients is a crucial side of tuberculosis management programme. Therefore, the aim was to assess the magnitude of nutritional deficiency and associated factors among new pulmonary tuberculosis patients of Bale Zone Hospitals, south-east Ethiopia, 2018. Cross-sectional study design was utilized. Data collection was carried out using structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. Body mass index was calculated to see nutritional deficiency. Crude and adjusted odds ratios in conjunction with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were computed. p-value < 0.05 was thought of to declare a result as statistically associated.
Prevalence of nutritional deficiency was 63.2%. The mean Body mass index for all listed participants was 17.86 kg/m. Employment status of the patients, p-value 0.012 (AOR = 1.82; 95% CI 1.14, 2.89) and Khat chewing, p-value 0.02 (AOR = 0.43; 95% CI 0.23, 0.85) were factors independently associated with nutritional deficiency. Prevalence of nutritional deficiency was found to be high. Nutritional support for the impoverished, regular nutritional assessment and dietary counseling are necessary for better treatment outcome and effective Tuberculosis management programme.
结核病仍然是最致命的传染病，每年导致不同人群出现健康问题，且与营养不良有关。解决结核病患者的营养缺乏问题是结核病管理计划的一个关键方面。因此，本研究旨在评估2018年埃塞俄比亚东南部巴勒地区医院新诊断的肺结核患者中营养缺乏的程度及其相关因素。采用横断面研究设计。通过结构化问卷和人体测量进行数据收集。计算体重指数以判断营养缺乏情况。计算粗比值比和调整后的比值比及其相应的95%置信区间。p值<0.05被认为具有统计学相关性。
营养缺乏的患病率为63.2%。所有列出的参与者的平均体重指数为17.86kg/m²。患者的就业状况，p值为0.012（调整后的比值比=1.82；95%置信区间为1.14，2.89）以及恰特草咀嚼习惯，p值为0.02（调整后的比值比=0.43；95%置信区间为0.23，0.85）是与营养缺乏独立相关的因素。发现营养缺乏的患病率很高。为贫困人群提供营养支持、定期进行营养评估和饮食咨询对于获得更好的治疗效果和有效的结核病管理计划是必要的。
