Abstract:

Objective: To study the treatment completeness and its influencing factors of 3H-P preventive treatment among close contacts of tuberculosis patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and to provide a reference for further promotion of preventive treatment. Methods: Between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, 387 LTBI cases who had close contact with tuberculosis patients and received preventive treatment with informed consent from Wushi County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang) were enrolled as research subjects. A questionnaire was used to collect information of the completion of preventive treatment and its influencing factors, mainly including basic demographic information, awareness of tuberculosis prevention and control core knowledge, completion of preventive treatment, etc. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors related to the completion of preventive treatment. Results: Among 387 LTBI cases, 355 completed preventive treatment, with a treatment completion rate of 91.73%. The incidence of adverse reactions was 14.21% (55/387), and 4.39% (17/387) of cases discontinued their treatment due to adverse reactions. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that taking exercise regularly (OR=5.337, 95%CI: 2.309-12.337) and attending training on tuberculosis prevention and control (OR=4.406, 95%CI: 1.942-9.994) were protective factors for completion of preventive treatment, while a history of alcohol consumption (OR=0.279, 95%CI: 0.108-0.720) and aged 50-64 years (OR=0.254, 95%CI: 0.092-0.698) were risk factors for completion of treatment. Conclusion: Completion of preventive treatment among close contacts of tuberculosis patients with LTBI was generally good, with adverse reactions being one of the main reasons for interruption of treatment. The completion rate of their treatment was affected by not exercising regularly, history of alcohol consumption, not attending training on tuberculosis prevention and control, and aged 50-64 years.
