Abstract

Introduction: Comorbid non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), kidney diseases, and hypertension, could have implications for tuberculosis (TB) treatment management and increase the disease burden amongst active TB patients., Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed at profiling comorbidities amongst sputum-positive TB patients in the South West and Littoral regions of Cameroon and was relevant for improving disease management and public health interventions. Diabetes was defined by elevated blood glucose, body mass index (underweight: <18.5 kg/m 2 , normal: 18.5-<25.0 kg/m 2 , overweight: 25-<30 kg/m 2 and obese: ≥30.0 kg/m 2 ) and hypertension by elevated blood pressure levels (i.e., systolic ≥130 mmHg or diastolic ≥80 mmHg). Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected using case report forms. Descriptive analysis was performed, bivariate logistic regression analysis was computed with at least one comorbidity as the dependent variable (global model) and a multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to provide adjusted odds ratios (final model). The covariate with the highest p -value was removed until p < 0.25 cut-off, using R software version 4.3.1. p -value <0.05 at 95% confidence interval was considered statistically significant., Results: Five hundred and forty-nine sputum-positive microscopically confirmed active TB patients were enrolled into this study. Two-thirds (65.8%) of the total patients were male. Overall, 56 sputum-positive TB patients had at least one non-communicable disease, thus a prevalence of 10.2% (95% CI = 7.9-13.0). The most frequently recorded NCD was diabetes 4.4% (95% CI = 3.1-6.7) followed by kidney disease 2% (95% CI = 1.1-3.6), hypertension 0.9% (95% CI = 0.4-2.2), and CVD 0.91% (95% CI = 0.4-2.2). Three TB patients (0.6%) had all four comorbidities examined. Age group ( p < 0.001), and level of education ( p = 0.049) were factors significantly associated with having at least one comorbidity., Discussion: Our findings showed that diabetes was significantly the most prevalent comorbid NCD amongst sputum-positive TB patients ( p < 0.001). HIV status, occupation, body mass index (BMI), and alcohol intake were not significantly associated with having at least one comorbidity. Implementing public health intervention programmes such as systematic screening of TB patients for NCDs especially diabetes is highly recommended for better control of these diseases., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. The author(s) declared that they were an editorial board member of Frontiers, at the time of submission. This had no impact on the peer review process and the final decision.
