Treatment outcome and influencing factors of isoniazid mono-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis / 中华传染病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the outcomes of isoniazid (INH) mono-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis, and risk factors associated with adverse treatment outcomes of INH mono-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:A total of 114 cases of INH mono-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in Xi′an Chest Hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 were retrospectively recruited for analysis. The general information, clinical symptoms, and laboratory test results of patients were collected. With treatment success and adverse treatment outcomes as dependent variables, binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for the adverse treatment outcome of INH mono-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.Results:Among 114 patients with INH mono-resistant tuberculosis, 46 cases (40.4%) were cured and 41 cases (36.0%) completed treatment with the success rate of 76.3%(87/114), while 11 cases (9.6%) failed treatment, 13 cases (11.4%) lost to follow up, three cases (2.6%) died.The binary logistic regression analysis showed that male (odds ratio ( OR)=7.22, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.47 to 35.43)), no fever at onset ( OR=12.97, 95% CI 2.74 to 61.55), not containing amikacin in the regimen ( OR=5.28, 95% CI 1.20 to 23.31), sputum bacteria load >1+ ( OR=5.87, 95% CI 1.76 to 19.60) were the risk factors for adverse treatment outcomes of INH mono-resistant tuberculosis. Conclusions:The treatment success rate of INH mono-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients is high. The risk factors for adverse treatment outcome are male, no fever at the onset, not containing amikacin in the regimen, and sputum bacteria load >1+ .
