ABSTRACT

Contexte & objectif. La prise en charge médicale de la tuberculose pharmacorésistante connaît des progrès dans le monde. Mais, le volet psychosocial a été peu exploré en République Démocratique du Congo. La présente étude a évalué la qualité de vie des patients tuberculeux pharmacorésistants (PTP) suivis au Centre d'Excellence Damien (CEDA) à Kinshasa. Méthodes. L'échelle de stress perçu (PSS), l'Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) et l'Indicateur de Santé Perceptuelle de NOTTINGHAM (ISPN) ont été utilisés dans une étude transversale réalisée du 1er avril au 31 décembre 2018 sur 81 PTP hospitalisés au CEDA de Kinshasa. La méthode de régression logistique a recherché les déterminants de la qualité de vie. Résultats. Au cours de la période de l'étude, 81 PTP étaient reçus dont 62 TB multirésistants (TB MR, 76,5%) contre 19 TB ultrarésistants (TBUR, 23,5%), constituant les deux groupes d'étude. L'âge moyen des sujets était de 34,7±14,3 ans. Les hommes étaient légèrement prépondérants (53 %) avec un sex ratio H/F de 1,1. La tranche d'âge de 21 à 30 ans était plus représentée (35%). Trois-quarts des sujets étaient solitaires (75%), plus de deuxtiers avaient un niveau secondaire (69%), plus de la moitié n'avait pas d'occupation (56%), près de deux-tiers fréquentaient les Eglises indépendantes (60%). Trente-cinq pourcents des patients avaient une mauvaise qualité de vie. Celle-ci était liée à l'âge >40 ans, au type TBMR, au retard d'accompagnement psychosocial, au niveau d'étude primaire, à la présence de la co-infection tuberculose- VIH/SIDA, au stress perçu et à l'anxiété-dépression. Conclusion. Les patients tuberculeux pharmacorésistants à Kinshasa ont une qualité de vie altérée. Cette situation est favorisée par l'âge >40 ans, le type de tuberculose pharmacorésistante, le retard d'accompagnement psychosocial, le faible niveau d'étude, la présence de la coinfection tuberculose-VIH/SIDA, le stress perçu, l'anxiété et la dépression.


Context and objective. Despite many progress in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, psychosocial aspects remain poorly adressed in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life of drugresistant tuberculosis patients. Methods. A crosssectional survey was conducted in hospitalized drug-resistant tuberculosis patients at CEDA Kinshasa, during the period from April 1 to December 31th, 2018, through the perceived stress scale (PSS), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the NOTTINGHAM Health Profil (NHP) tools. Data from 62 multdrug rerestitant TB patients (MDR TB, 76,5%) were compared with 19 ultraresistant (PXDR, 23.5 %) and analyzed, using a multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the determinants of quality of life. Results. Among a total of 81 pharmaco-resistant TB patients, average age 34.7 ± 14.3 years, with a slight man preponderance (53 %), 35% had a poor quality of life. This was linked to age > 40 years, MDRTB type, delayed psychosocial support, primary education, the presence of TBHIV co-infection, and perceived stress and anxiety-depression. Conclusion.The study reveals an impaired quality of life in Drug-resistant tuberculosis patients in Kinshasa, with some identified correlates. Targeted measures are needed to improve the management of these patients

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB) is a very serious form of tuberculosis that is burdened with a heavy mortality toll, especially before the advent of new TB drugs. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is among the countries most affected by this new epidemic. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed of the records of all patients with pre- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis hospitalized from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 and monitored for at least 6 months to one year after the end of their treatment in Kinshasa; an individualized therapeutic regimen with bedaquiline for 20 months was built for each patient. The adverse effects were systematically monitored. RESULTS: Of the 40 laboratory-confirmed patients, 32 (80%) patients started treatment, including 29 preXRB and 3 XDR TB patients. In the eligible group, 3 patients (9.4%) had HIV-TB coinfections. The therapeutic success rate was 53.2%, and the mortality rate was 46.8% (15/32); there were no relapses, failures or losses to follow-up. All coinfected HIV-TB patients died during treatment. The cumulative patient survival rate was 62.5% at 3 months, 53.1% at 6 months and 53.1% at 20 months. The most common adverse events were vomiting, Skin rash, anemia and peripheral neuropathy. CONCLUSION: The new anti-tuberculosis drugs are a real hope for the management of Drug Resistant tuberculosis patient and other new therapeutic combinations may improve favorable outcomes.
