Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the characteristics and factors affecting treatment outcomes of pulmonary tuberculosis-diabetes mellitus (PTB-DM) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as Xinjiang), to provide scientific basis for tuberculosis prevention and control. Methods: Epidemiological data of reported tuberculosis cases in Xinjiang from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 were obtained through the “Tuberculosis Management Information System”, a subsystem of the “Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System”, and a descriptive analysis was conducted. Characteristics of PTB-DM patients and PTB patients without DB registered at the same time were compared. The factors affecting treatment outcomes of PTB-DM patients were analyzed. Results: Among 36729 patients registered in Xinjiang in 2021—2022, 34286 were patients with PTB alone and 2443 were PTB-DM patients. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years (OR=3.826, 95%CI: 1.942-7.536), retreatment (OR=1.809, 95%CI: 1.264-2.588), smear positive (OR=1.620, 95%CI: 1.183-2.218), and sputum smear not turning negative at the end of 2 months’ treatment (OR=1.591, 95%CI: 1.057-2.394) were risk factors for adverse treatment outcomes. Conclusion: For patients with PTB-DM in Xinjiang, risk factors of adverse treatment outcomes included age ≥65 years, retreatment, smear positive, and sputum smear not turning negative at the end of 2 months’ treatment. Thus, we should strengthen follow-up management of PTB-DM patients, improve their treatment compliance, ensure treatment effectiveness, and reduce the occurrence of adverse outcomes.
