[Survival time and influencing factors in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients in Wuhan, 2006-2014].

To investigate the survival time of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients and the influential factors in Wuhan. The relevant information were collected from TB management information system, cause of death reporting system and medical records by trained doctors. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model were applied to analyze the factors affecting survival time of patients. A total of 552 patients with MDR-TB were included in the analysis. After the diagnosis of MDR-TB, the cumulative survival rates from the first year to the third year were 0.94, 0.88, and 0.80, respectively. The mortality density of MDR-TB patients was 6.52/100 person-years, and the median survival time was (89.52±1.85) months. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of the standardized treatment group was significantly higher than that of the non-standardized treatment group (=101.070, <0.001). Compared with the patients aged <30 years, the of the patients aged 30-years and ≥60 years were 2.987 (95: 1.268-7.036), 4.957 (95: 1.942-12.653). Compared with the patients with the education level of high school and above, the of the patients with education level of junior high school/primary school and below were 1.908 (95: 1.152-3.160), 1.681(95: 1.033-2.735). Compared with the patients without diabetes, the of the patients with diabetes was 1.961(95: 1.347-2.854). Compared with the patients without other serious diseases, the of the patients with other serious diseases was 2.597 (95: 1.820-3.706). Compared with the patients who had been treated less than one time, the of the patients having previous treatment with more than 2 times was 1.611 (95: 1.077-2.409). Compared with patients receiving standard MDR regimen treatment, the of the patients receiving no standard MDR regimen treatment was 3.155 (95: 2.132-4.670). The cumulative survival rate of MDR-TB patients without standard treatment was significantly lower than that of patients with standard treatment. Older age, low educational level, diabetes mellitus, other serious diseases, more than two times treatment in the past, and receiving no multi-drug resistance regimen treatment were the risk factors affecting the survival of MDR-TB patients.
