Abstract:

Objective This study systematically evaluated the risk factors for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in China, which could provide an effective prevention and control strategy, and achieve the purpose of cause prevention (primary prevention).Methods The articles related to the risk factors of MDR-TB which published from January, 2005 to May, 2019 were searched in English databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library) and Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang, SinoMed and VIP database), and then meta-analysis was performed following the screening, extracting data and quality evaluation of the articles.Results According to the search results and inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 55 articles were included, and 9 risk factors related to MDR-TB were found by meta-analysis. The results showed that the migrant population (OR=1.92; 95%CI=1.48-2.51), low household income (OR=2.12; 95%CI=1.72-2.63), re-treatment (OR=6.28; 95%CI=4.72-8.36), anti-tuberculosis treatment history (OR=5.73; 95%CI=4.56-7.20), anti-tuberculosis treatment history ≥2 times (OR=4.41; 95%CI=3.35-5.80), adverse drug reactions (OR=4.89; 95%CI=2.48-9.62), treatment interruption (OR=3.59; 95%CI=2.02-6.38), lung cavity (OR=1.56; 95%CI=1.25-1.93) and smoking (OR=1.59; 95%CI=1.12-2.25) were closely related to the pathogenesis of MDR-TB.Conclusion The risk factors for MDR-TB in China are possibly migrant population, low household income, re-treatment, anti-tuberculosis treatment history, anti-tuberculosis treatment history ≥2 times, adverse reactions, treatment interruption, lung cavities and smoking.
