dc.description.abstract | Background: Pulmonary impairment is a common manifestation in previously treated
pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients. Approximately 40-60% of patients with history of
complete anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT) developed the obstructive, restrictive or mixed
patterns of lung disease.
Objective: To determine the frequency and type of impairment of lung function in previously
treated PTB patients.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Ojha Institute of Chest
diseases, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi during the period of six months from
April 2021 to September 2021. One hundred and forty four previously treated PTB patients
with age of 18-60 years were selected through consecutive sampling. Spirometry of each
patient was performed by trained spirometry technician and lung function was assessed by an
experienced pulmonologist. Data was interpreted with SPSS v. 25.0.
Results: Out of 144 previously treated PTB patients, male were 83 (57.6%) and female were
61 (42.4%). Impaired pulmonary function was present in 87 (60.4%) patients, out of which
49 (56.3%) patients had obstructive impairment; 23 (26.4%) patients had restrictive
impairment while 15 (17.2%) patients had mix pattern.
Conclusion:. Prevalence rate of impaired pulmonary function was higher in treated PTB
patients who have completed ATT. Obstructive pulmonary impairment was the most
common pulmonary impairment followed by restrictive and mixed pulmonary impairment. | en_US |
