Abstract:

Objective To analyze the nutritional risk and its influencial factors in patients with tuberculosis complicated with diabetes mellitus and provide evidence for early nutritional intervention. Methods Tuberculosis with diabetes mellitus inpatients admitted in the infectious disease prevention and control center of the fifth affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from April 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019 were enrolled. Clinical data was collected, including gender, age, complications, type of TB diagnosis, type of patients, mycobacterium tuberculosis detection, disease course, anti-tuberculosis treatment time, hospitalization days, score of nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002), hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PAB), fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycosylated hemoglobin (GHB), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), prognosis of nutrition index (PNI) and weight. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze related factors of nutritional risk. Results According to the NRS-2002 score, 35 patients with scores ≥3 were included in the nutritional risk group, and 134 patients with scores <3 were included in the non-nutritional risk group, with an incidence of nutritional risk of 20.71% (35/169). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that disease course lasting over one month was a risk factor for the occurrence of nutritional risks (OR (95%CI)=6.003 (1.662,21.688)) while high blood albumin level was a protective factor (OR (95%CI)=0.876 (0.815,0.942)), the higher the albumin, the lower the incidence of nutritional risk. Conclusion The incidence of nutritional risk in patients with tuberculosis complicated with diabetes was 20.71%, associated with disease course and blood albumin. The incidence of nutritional risk for patients with disease course ≥1 month was significantly higher than those having <1 month disease courses, while blood albumin was negatively associated with the incidence of nutritional risk.
