Epidemiology of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis among patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To estimate the pooled proportion of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB) in patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB).

Methods

We systematically searched articles from electronic databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. We also searched gray literature from the different literature sources main outcome of the review was either XDR-TB or pre-XDR-TB in patients with MDR-TB. We used the random-effects model, considering the substantial heterogeneity among studies. Heterogeneity was assessed by subgroup analyses. STATA version 14 was used for analysis.

Results

A total of 64 studies that reported on 12,711 patients with MDR-TB from 22 countries were retrieved. The pooled proportion of pre-XDR-TB was 26% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 22-31%), whereas XDR-TB in MDR-TB cases was 9% (95% CI: 7-11%) in patients treated for MDR-TB. The pooled proportion of resistance to fluoroquinolones was 27% (95% CI: 22-33%) and second-line injectable drugs was 11% (95% CI: 9-13%). Whereas the pooled resistance proportions to bedaquiline, clofazimine, delamanid, and linezolid were 5% (95% CI: 1-8%), 4% (95% CI: 0-10%), 5% (95% CI; 2-8%), and 4% (95% CI: 2-10%), respectively.

Conclusion

The burden of pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB in MDR-TB were considerable. The high burdens of pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB in patients treated for MDR-TB suggests the need to strengthen TB programs and drug resistance surveillance.

Project description:The worldwide emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) has posed additional challenges for global tuberculosis (TB) control efforts, as limited treatment options are available and treatment outcomes are often sub-optimal. This study determined treatment outcomes among a cohort of MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients in Hunan Province, China, and identified factors associated with poor treatment outcomes.We conducted a retrospective study using data obtained from medical records of TB patients in Hunan Chest Hospital, and from the internet-based TB management information system managed by the Tuberculosis Control Institute of Hunan Province, for the period 2011 to 2014. Treatment outcomes were assessed for patients diagnosed with MDR-TB (TB resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin) and XDR-TB (MDR-TB plus resistance to any fluoroquinolone and at least 1 second-line injectable drug). Cumulative incidence functions were used to estimate time to events (i.e. poor treatment outcomes, loss to follow-up, and unfavourable treatment outcomes); and a competing-risks survival regression model was used to identify predictors of treatment outcomes.Of 481 bacteriologically-confirmed patients, with a mean age of 40 years (standard deviation SD ± 13 years), 10 (2%) had XDR-TB and the remainder (471; 98%) had MDR-TB. For the entire cohort, treatment success was 57% (n = 275); 58% (n = 272) for MDR-TB and 30% (n = 3) for XDR-TB. Overall, 27% were lost to follow-up (n = 130), 27% (n = 126) for MDR-TB and 40% (n = 4) for XDR-TB; and 16% had a poor treatment outcome (n = 76), 15% for MDR-TB and 30% (n = 3) for XDR-TB. Of the 10 XDR-TB patients, 3 (30%) completed treatment, 3 (30%) died and 4 (40%) were lost to follow-up. Of the 471 MDR-TB patients, 258 (57%) were cured, 16 (3%) completed treatment, 13 (3%) died, 60 (13%) experienced treatment failure, and 126 (27%) were lost to follow-up. Resistance to ofloxacin was an independent predictor of poor (AHR = 3.1; 95%CI = 1.5, 6.3), and unfavourable (AHR = 1.7; 95%CI = 1.07, 2.9) treatment outcomes. Patients who started treatment during 2011-2012 (AHR = 2.8; 95% CI = 1.5, 5.3) and 2013 (AHR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.2, 3.9) had poorer treatment outcomes compared to patients who started treatment during 2014.Patients with MDR-TB and XDR-TB had low rates of treatment success in Hunan Province, especially among patients who started treatment during 2011 to 2013, with evidence of improved treatment outcomes in 2014. Resistance to ofloxacin was an independent predictor of poor treatment outcomes.
