Abstract:

Objective: To systematically evaluate the incidence of peripheral neuritis during the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM database were systematically searched for the literature on the occurrence of peripheral neuritis during the treatment of MDR-TB from the establishment of the database to July 2022. At the same time, the literature is supplemented by the method of reference tracing and manual retrieval. Search terms were tuberculosis, multidrug-resistant, MDR-TB, side effect, adverse, adverse reactions, toxic effects, safety, neuritis, peripheral neuritis, multiple neuropathy, polyneuropathy both in Chinese and English. Literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation were carried out by two researchers independently, and Stata 16.0 software was used for Meta analysis. Results: Finally 12 articles were included, the total number of MDR-TB patients was 2726, and 373 of them had peripheral neuritis. Meta analysis showed that the incidence of peripheral neuritis in MDR-TB patients during treatment was 19% (95%CI: 13%-25%). The results of subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of peripheral neuritis in MDR-TB patients was 21% (95%CI: 12%-29%) in Asia, 43% (95%CI: 26%-59%) in Africa, and 7% (95%CI: 4%-10%) in other regions; the incidences of peripheral neuritis in MDR-TB patients in the study before 2015 and in the study after 2015 were 13% (95%CI: 6%-20%) and 29% (95%CI: 17%-40%), respectively; the incidence of peripheral neuritis in patients with MDR-TB using standardized treatment scheme and individualized treatment scheme was 16% (95%CI: 4%-27%) and 21% (95%CI: 14%-28%), respectively; the incidences of peripheral neuritis in MDR-TB patients with sample size ≤100, 101-399 and ≥400 were 29% (95%CI: 16%-43%), 18% (95%CI: 8%-29%) and 7% (95%CI: 4%-9%), respectively. Conclusion: The incidence of peripheral neuritis in MDR-TB patients is high. Medical staff should pay more attention to the occurrence of peripheral neuritis during the treatment of MDR-TB patients, so as to achieve early assessment, early diagnosis and early intervention.
