Abstract:

Objective: To understand and analyze the bidirectional screening of tuberculosis (TB) patients and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) as well as the anti-tuberculosis treatment status of patients with MTB/HIV coinfection in Ningxia, so as to provide a reliable basis for formulating prevention and control measures for MTB/HIV coinfection. Methods: Data on tuberculosis-related examinations received by PLHIV in Ningxia from 2015 to 2023 was collected through the Annual Report Form on the Prevention and Control Management of MTB/HIV Coinfection; Registration information of patients with MTB/HIV coinfection and the total population data from 2015 to 2023 were obtained via the “Surveillance Report Management System” and “Comprehensive Disease Control and Prevention Management System”, which are subsystems of the “China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention”. Bidirectional screening was conducted among tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS patients, and the status of anti-tuberculosis treatment for patients with MTB/HIV coinfection was analyzed. Results: From 2015 to 2023, the rate of newly registered and followed-up PLHIV in Ningxia receiving chest X-ray or sputum examination was 90.66% (16630/18343). Specifically, the rate was 85.29% (574/673) in 2015 and 94.50% (2923/3093) in 2023, and the rates showed a fluctuating upward trend over the years, with a statistically significant difference (χ t r e n d 2=435.673, P<0.01). A total of 53 tuberculosis (TB) cases were diagnosed, with a detection rate of 0.32% (53/16630). Among them, the rate of chest X-ray or sputum examination among newly registered PLHIV was 88.98% (2552/2868), and 26 TB cases were identified, resulting in a TB detection rate of 1.02% (26/2552). For previously followed-up PLHIV, the rate of chest X-ray or sputum examination was 90.97% (14078/15475), with 27 TB cases detected (TB detection rate: 0.19%, 27/14078). The TB detection rate was 0.76% (3/397) in 2015 and 0.19% (5/2596) in 2023, showing a fluctuating downward trend over the years with a statistically significant difference (χ t r e n d 2=17.439,P<0.05). In 2015, the rate of HIV antibody test among TB patients was 42.22% (1097/2598), with no HIV-positive cases detected. In 2023, the rate was 59.49% (1317/2214), and the HIV detection rate was 0.30% (4/1317). There was a statistically significant difference across different years (χ2=246.475, P<0.01). A total of 10427 TB patients underwent HIV test, with an HIV-positive detection rate of 0.14% (15/10427). The registration rate of MTB/HIV coinfection increased from 0.05/100000 (3/6615400) in 2015 to 0.19/100000 (14/7283400) in 2023, showing a fluctuating upward trend over the years with a statistically significant difference (χ t r e n d 2=20.186, P<0.01). Among MTB/HIV coinfected patients, the treatment success rate was 69.12% (47/68), other outcomes accounted for 5.88% (4/68), transfer to rifampicin-resistant TB treatment accounted for 7.35% (5/68), and the mortality rate was 17.65% (12/68). Conclusion: From 2015 to 2023, the MTB screening rate among PLHIV in Ningxia was relatively high. However, the HIV test rate among tuberculosis (TB) patients and the anti-tuberculosis treatment success rate for patients with MTB/HIV coinfection need to be further improved.
