The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) presents a challenge to the "End TB by 2035" strategy. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with MDR-TB in patients admitted to the pneumo-physiology clinic of the National University Hospital of Bangui in Central African Republic.
This was a "retrospective" chart review study. Cases were represented by patients more than 18 years of age treated for MDR-TB and controls were patients with "at least rifampicin-susceptible" TB treated "with first-line anti-TB regimen" and who at the end of treatment were declared cured. The status of "cured" was exclusively applicable to non-MDR TB. Risk factors associated with MDR-TB were identified by multivariate analysis.
We included 70 cases and 140 controls. The median age was 35 years, IQR (22;46 years). The main factors associated with the occurrence of MDR-TB in multivariate analysis were male gender (0 R = 3.02 [1.89-3.99], p = 0.001), residence in a peri-urban/urban area (0 R = 3.06 [2.21-4.01], p = 0.002), history of previous TB treatment (0 R= 3.99 [2.77-4.25], p < 0.001) and the presence of multidrug-resistant TB in the family (0 R=1.86 [1.27-2.45], p = 0.021).
The emergence of MDR-TB can be reduced by implementing appropriate strategies, such as preventive therapy in contacts of MDR-TB patients and detecting and appropriately treating MDR-TB patients to prevent further spread of infection.
耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)的出现和传播对“2035 年终结结核病”战略构成了挑战。本研究旨在确定中非共和国国家大学医院呼吸生理科收治的 MDR-TB 患者的相关风险因素。
这是一项“回顾性”图表回顾研究。病例组为年龄超过 18 岁的 MDR-TB 治疗患者,对照组为接受“一线抗结核方案”治疗的“至少利福平敏感”TB 患者,在治疗结束时被宣布治愈。“治愈”状态仅适用于非 MDR-TB。通过多变量分析确定与 MDR-TB 相关的风险因素。
我们纳入了 70 例病例和 140 例对照。中位年龄为 35 岁,IQR(22;46 岁)。多变量分析中与 MDR-TB 发生相关的主要因素为男性(0R=3.02[1.89-3.99],p=0.001)、居住在城市周边/城市地区(0R=3.06[2.21-4.01],p=0.002)、既往 TB 治疗史(0R=3.99[2.77-4.25],p<0.001)和家庭中存在 MDR-TB(0R=1.86[1.27-2.45],p=0.021)。
通过实施适当的策略,如 MDR-TB 患者接触者的预防治疗以及发现和适当治疗 MDR-TB 患者,以防止感染进一步传播,可以减少 MDR-TB 的发生。
