ObjectiveTo produce pooled estimates of the global results of tuberculosis (TB) treatment and analyze the predictive factors of successful TB treatment.MethodsStudies published between 2014 and 2019 that reported the results of the treatment of pulmonary TB and the factors that influenced these results. The quality of the studies was evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. A random effects model was used to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). This review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) in February 2019 under number CRD42019121512.ResultsA total of 151 studies met the criteria for inclusion in this review. The success rate for the treatment of drug-sensitive TB in adults was 80.1% (95% CI: 78.4–81.7). America had the lowest treatment success rate, 75.9% (95% CI: 73.8–77.9), and Oceania had the highest, 83.9% (95% CI: 75.2–91.0). In children, the success rate was 84.8% (95% CI: 77.7–90.7); in patients coinfected with HIV, it was 71.0% (95% CI: 63.7–77.8), in patients with multidrug-resistant TB, it was 58.4% (95% CI: 51.4–64.6), in patients with and extensively drug-resistant TB it was 27.1% (12.7–44.5). Patients with negative sputum smears two months after treatment were almost three times more likely to be successfully treated (OR 2.7; 1.5–4.8), whereas patients younger than 65 years (OR 2.0; 1.7–2.4), nondrinkers (OR 2.0; 1.6–2.4) and HIV-negative patients (OR 1.9; 1.6–2.5 3) were two times more likely to be successfully treated.ConclusionThe success of TB treatment at the global level was good, but was still below the defined threshold of 85%. Factors such as age, sex, alcohol consumption, smoking, lack of sputum conversion at two months of treatment and HIV affected the success of TB treatment.
RESUMENIntroducción: Es importante proveer un adecuado y oportuno manejo a largo plazo de la ERC, por medio de estrategias farmacológicas y no farmacológicas, sin embargo, la baja adherencia de los pacientes al tratamiento farmacológico pone en riesgo la efectividad de la intervención.Objetivo: Traducir al español, validar y adaptar la escala de adherencia al tratamiento de Morisky de 8 items a pacientes con ERC. Materiales y Métodos:La traducción del MMAS-8 se realizó de acuerdo con las directrices para la traducción y la adaptación de instrumentos de medida para ser utilizados en investigación médica, se validó mediante juicio de expertos siguiendo el método Delphi. Se realizó un estudio piloto corte transversal, donde se encuesto a 30 pacientes que acudieron a consulta de predialisis de la unidad renal del hospital militar central en Bogotá Colombia.Resultados: La escala MMAS-8 traducida al español fue sometida a los jueces para su validación obteniéndose un porcentaje de acuerdo igual o mayor al 80% para todas las preguntas, se calculó el coeficiente de concordancia W de Kendall que en este caso fue 0,8 con un p valor de 0,0001 y se interpretó como un alto grado de concordancia entre las valoraciones hechas por los jueces a los diferentes ítems del cuestionario. Se aplicó el MMAS-8 a 30 pacientes con una media de edad de 75,9 años (+/-15), el nivel de adherencia al tratamiento se analizó según el puntaje de la escala de Morisky de 8 items, clasificándose como baja adherencia al tratamiento en el 62,5% de los casos con puntaje menor de 6, mediana adherencia 28,1% de los pacientes puntaje entre 6 y 7 y alta adherencia solo el 9,4% de los pacientes con puntaje mayor de 8.
