Abstract

Background:

The development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) following tuberculosis (TB) is known as tuberculosis-associated obstructive pulmonary disease (TOPD). This study aimed to explore the predictive value of inflammatory indicators for TOPD in TB patients.

Methods:

Data for this cross-sectional study were collected between January 2014 and January 2022 at Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. The ratio of inflammatory indicators, including Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), C-reactive protein-to-lymphocyte ratio (CLR), eosinophil count-to-lymphocyte count ratio (ELR), were calculated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the association between the ratio of inflammatory indicators and TOPD. Furthermore, the relationship between the ratio of inflammatory indicators and TOPD was investigated using propensity score matching (PSM) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate their predictive value for TOPD.

Results:

The present study included a total of 737 patients, of whom 83 participants (11.26%) had TOPD. Sixty-nine TOPD patients and 69 non-TOPD (NTOPD) patients were successfully matched. Univariate and multivariable logistics regression analysis, conducted before and after PSM, revealed that SIRI was independently significantly associated with an increased risk of TOPD. The area under curve (AUC) of SIRI were 0.702 and 0.668 before and after PSM, respectively. Additionally, patients were stratified into four different groups based on SIRI quartiles for further analysis. The prevalence of TOPD in TB patients showed an increase with higher SIRI values, both before and after PSM.

Conclusion:

Levels of inflammatory indicators were higher in TOPD patients when compared to NTOPD patients. SIRI may be a simple and useful inflammatory index for assessing TOPD, and TB patients with higher values of SIRI are more likely to be high-risk group for TOPD.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
Mode of...

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...
