Abstract:

Objective: To explore the characteristics and the related influencing factors of drug resistance in aged pulmonary tuberculosis patients combined with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to collect the drug sensitivity test results and clinical data of 203 aged pulmonary tuberculosis patients combined with type 2 diabetes who were admitted to Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 and identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis with positive sputum culture. The characteristics of drug resistance and the influencing factors of drug resistance were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: In 203 aged pulmonary tuberculosis patients combined with type 2 diabetes, the total drug resistance rate of was 40.4% (82/203), the rate of single drug resistance was 12.3% (25/203), the rate of poly-resistant tuberculosis was 4.9% (10/203) and the rate of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis was 12.8% (26/203). The top three drug resistance rates of 14 anti-tuberculosis drugs were INH (22.7% (46/203))>RFP (15.8% (32/203))>Sm (14.8% (30/203)), and the drug resistance rates of Mfx (11.3% (23/203)) and Lfx (10.8% (22/203)) were higher. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that retreatment (OR=4.528, 95%CI: 2.031-10.099, P<0.001), hypoproteinemia (OR=2.106, 95%CI: 1.116-3.972, P=0.021) and CD4+T lymphocyte count <414 cell/μl (OR=1.887, 95%CI: 1.011-3.532, P=0.046) were independent risk factors for drug resistance in aged pulmonary tuberculosis patients combined with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: The drug resistance rate of aged pulmonary tuberculosis patients combined with type 2 diabetes is high, and the drug resistance is mainly caused by first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Drug resistance screening should be actively carried out, and prevention and control measures should be taken as soon as possible for patients with retreatment, hypoproteinemia and CD4+T lymphocyte count <414 cell/μl.
