Abstract:

Results of drug sensitivity test and clinical data of 249 aged pulmonary tuberculosis patients with positive sputum culture hospitalized in Shenyang Tenth People’s Hospital from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 were collected. Strains from all the patients were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A single factor and multiple factors unconditioned logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of drug resistance. The total drug resistance rate (TDRR), initial treatment DRR and retreatment DRR were 32.53% (81/249), 24.24% (40/165) and 48.81% (41/84), respectively. The retreatment DRR was significantly higher than initial treatment DRR (χ2=15.307, P=0.000). The total multi-drug resistance rate, initial treatment and retreatment multi-drug resistance rate were 12.85% (32/249), 7.27% (12/165) and 23.81% (20/84), respectively. The multi-drug resistance rate of retreatment was significantly higher than that of initial treatment (χ2=13.591, P=0.000). No extensive drug resistance was found. According to multiple factors logistic regression analysis, retreatment (OR=4.201, 95%CI=1.467-12.033) and tuberculous cavity (OR=2.406, 95%CI=1.019-5.681) were independent risk factors of multidrug-resistance in elderly pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The drug resistance rate of elderly pulmonary tuberculosis was high, the drug resistance screening should be actively carried out.
