ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between clinical/epidemiological characteristics and outcomes of tuberculosis treatment in patients with concomitant tuberculosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Brazil. METHODS: We used the Brazilian Ministry of Health National Case Registry Database to identify patients with tuberculosis and CKD, treated between 2007 and 2011. The tuberculosis treatment outcomes were compared with epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the subjects using a hierarchical multinomial logistic regression model, in which cure was the reference outcome. RESULTS: The prevalence of CKD among patients with tuberculosis was 0.4% (95% CI: 0.37-0.42%). The sample comprised 1,077 subjects. The outcomes were cure, in 58%; treatment abandonment, in 7%; death from tuberculosis, in 13%; and death from other causes, in 22%. The characteristics that differentiated the ORs for treatment abandonment or death were age; alcoholism; AIDS; previous noncompliance with treatment; transfer to another facility; suspected tuberculosis on chest X-ray; positive results in the first smear microscopy; and indications for/use of directly observed treatment, short-course strategy. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate the importance of sociodemographic characteristics for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in patients with CKD and underscore the need for tuberculosis control strategies targeting patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases, such as CKD. .
RESUMO
OBJETIVO: Analisar a associação de características clínicas e epidemiológicas de indivíduos com tuberculose e doença renal crônica (DRC) com os desfechos do tratamento da tuberculose no Brasil. MÉTODOS: Entre 2007 e 2011, foram selecionados indivíduos com DRC e tuberculose utilizando o Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Foram comparados os desfechos do tratamento da tuberculose com características clínicas e epidemiológicas dos pacientes por um modelo hierárquico de regressão logística multinomial, no qual cura foi o desfecho de referência. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de DRC entre os casos de tuberculose foi de 0,4% (IC95%: 0,37-0,42%). A amostra incluiu 1.077 indivíduos, cujos desfechos do tratamento da tuberculose foram os seguintes: cura, em 58%; abandono do tratamento, em 7%; óbito por tuberculose, em 13%; e óbito por outras causas, em 22%. As características que diferenciam as OR de abandono do tratamento e de óbito foram idade; alcoolismo; AIDS; abandono prévio; transferência para outra unidade de tratamento; suspeita de tuberculose em radiografia de tórax; baciloscopia inicial positiva; e indicação ou realização de tratamento diretamente observado. CONCLUSÕES: Os dados apontam para a importância das características sociodemográficas na determinação da tuberculose em indivíduos com DRC e reforçam a necessidade de estratégias de controle da tuberculose direcionadas a pacientes com doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, como a DRC. .
