The effect of chronic sputum (CS) symptoms on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) has not been studied. The aim of this study was to clarify the differences in the clinical characteristics of NTM-PD patients with and without CS and to investigate the effect of CS on HRQOL.
This cross-sectional study included patients with NTM-PD who were prescribed pulmonary rehabilitation at the Fukujuji Hospital from March 2016 to June 2019. HRQOL was evaluated using the MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36).
Of the 99 subjects studied, 71 had CS (CS+) (71.7%), and 28 (28.3%) did not have CS (CS-). Patients in the CS + group had a lower body mass index, forced vital capacity percent predicted, and forced expiratory volume in 1 s percent predicted. Regarding the radiological evaluation, the proportion of patients with the fibrocavitary form and the radiological score were significantly higher in the CS + group. The mental component summary (MCS) score of the SF-36 were significantly lower in the CS + group. Multiple regression analysis showed that the presence of CS was independently associated with a lower MCS score of the SF-36.
NTM-PD patients with CS had more severe disease, with reduced pulmonary function and severe radiological findings. CS was shown to independently affect HRQOL, especially mental status.
慢性排痰(CS)症状对非结核分枝杆菌肺病(NTM-PD)患者的健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)的影响尚未得到研究。本研究旨在阐明有无 CS 的 NTM-PD 患者的临床特征差异,并探讨 CS 对 HRQOL 的影响。
本横断面研究纳入了 2016 年 3 月至 2019 年 6 月在福聚寺医院接受肺康复治疗的 NTM-PD 患者。采用 MOS 36-Item 短式健康调查量表(SF-36)评估 HRQOL。
在 99 名研究对象中,71 名(71.7%)有 CS(CS+),28 名(28.3%)无 CS(CS-)。CS+组患者的体重指数、用力肺活量预计值和 1 秒用力呼气量预计值较低。在影像学评估方面,CS+组中纤维空洞型和影像学评分的患者比例明显更高。SF-36 的精神成分综合评分(MCS)在 CS+组中明显较低。多因素回归分析显示,CS 的存在与 SF-36 的 MCS 评分降低独立相关。
有 CS 的 NTM-PD 患者疾病更严重,肺功能下降,影像学表现严重。CS 被证明可独立影响 HRQOL,尤其是心理健康状况。
