RISK FACTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS REQUIRING HOSPITALIZATION IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AND INTENSIVE CARE UNIT IN PATIENTS WITH TUBERCULOSIS
The mortality rate among tuberculosis patients requiring intensive care is high. The development of severe conditions in patients with tuberculosis may be associated with the course of the underlying disease and with concomitant pathology. The aim of this work was to study the risk factors for the development of severe conditions in patients with tuberculosis to prevent death. A retrospective study of risk factors for the development of critical conditions, depending on the nature of the tuberculosis process, co-infection, concomitant diseases and bad habits, was carried out in 154 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis hospitalized in the intensive care unit. In a cohort of patients admitted to the intensive care unit and intensive care unit, statistically significant factors influencing the development of critical conditions were: the presence of extrapulmonary localization of the tuberculous process; the presence of bilateral tuberculous lung lesions; the presence of destructive forms of tuberculosis; the presence of tuberculous meningitis/encephalitis; the presence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis; application of the traditional "old" treatment regimen; the presence of concomitant HIV infection with a CD4 cell count of less than 200/ul; the presence of concomitant diabetes.
