Risk factor analysis of postoperative complications after adjunctive pulmonary resection in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: A multi-institutional study

Background and objective: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) requires extended treatment with regimens with multiple side effects, resulting in high treatment failure rates. Adjunctive lung resection combined with anti-tubercular agents improves outcomes. However, few studies have evaluated t...

description Background and objective: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) requires extended treatment with regimens with multiple side effects, resulting in high treatment failure rates. Adjunctive lung resection combined with anti-tubercular agents improves outcomes. However, few studies have evaluated the potential harm from surgery and determined the optimal conditions for surgery. We aimed to analyze perioperative conditions to assess risk factors for postoperative complications in a multi-institutional setting. Methods: This retrospective study included 44 patients with MDR-TB who underwent adjunctive lung resection at three management groups of the Taiwan MDR-TB consortium between January 2007 and December 2020. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, radiological findings, sputum culture status before surgery, primary or acquired drug resistance, surgical procedure, complications, and treatment outcomes were collected and analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for postoperative complications. Results: Twenty-seven patients (61.4%) underwent lung resection using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The overall surgical complication rate was 20.5%, and the surgical mortality rate was 9.1%. Postsurgical hemothorax was the most common complication (11.4%). According to the univariate analysis, hilum involvement in images, positive preoperative sputum culture, and thoracotomy approach were unfavorable factors. VATS approach [adjusted OR, 0.088 (95% CI, 0.008–0.999)] was the only favorable factor identified by multivariate analysis. Conclusion: The minimally invasive approach is a growing trend, and lobectomies and sublobar resections were the main procedures for MDR-TB. The VATS approach significantly reduced the surgical complication rate. Postsurgical hemothorax was noteworthy, and meticulous hemostasis of the chest wall and residual lung surface is critical for successful resections.
