Abstract:

Objective: To systematically review the influencing factors of unfavorable treatment outcomes of multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-PTB) in China. Methods: Chinese databases (CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM) and English databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science) were electronically searched to collect studies about factors of unfavorable treatment outcomes of MDR-PTB. The time was limited as from inception of those databases to December 2021. Two researchers independently screened literatures, extracted information and evaluated the risk of bias. RevMan 5.3 was used to conduct Meta-analysis. Results: A total of 21 studies involving 4663 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that re-treatment (OR=2.63, 95%CI:1.54-4.47), complications (OR=4.28, 95%CI:2.61-7.03), adverse reactions (OR=2.71, 95%CI:1.87-3.93), cavity (OR=2.79, 95%CI:1.82-4.28), unreasonable chemotherapy (OR=5.80, 95%CI:2.05-16.41) and irregular treatment (OR=6.05, 95%CI:1.91-19.18) were associated with MDR-PTB treatment outcomes in multivariable analysis. Conclusion: The existing evidence suggested that re-treatment, complications, cavity, adverse reactions, unreasonable chemotherapy as well as irregular treatment were risk factors for unfavorable outcomes of MDR-PTB. In order to reduce the failure rate of MDR-PTB treatment, patients with these risk factors should receive strengthened medical managements and be cautious about the occurrence of adverse reactions.
