Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To analyze the association between drug resistance and the risk of latent tuberculosis infection and disease among household contacts of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, and to explore whether the compensatory mutation of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis will enhance its pathogenicity or transmission ability. Methods The English and Chinese databases, including PubMed, web of science, EMBASE, Cochrane library database, CNKI and Wanfang database, were searched by computer from the time of establishment of the database to January 2022. Cohort studies on the risk of infection and disease among household contacts of patients with drug-resistant and sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis were searched and screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were extracted and evaluated by NOS scale, using stata16.0 software meta-analysis to calculate the combined effect of tuberculosis infection and disease risk of family contacts, and carry out heterogeneity test, subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis. Results A total of 7 cohort studies involving 9653 TB index cases and 29, 734 house contacts were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis patients, the risk of tuberculosis infection in house contacts of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients was increased (OR=1.56, 95%CI=1.25-1.96, P<0.001), but there was no difference in the risk of incidence (RR=1.06, 95%CI=0.80-1.41, P=0.67>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that the risk of latent tuberculosis infection in house contacts was affected by the study area, and the size of family contacts had an impact on the risk of TB . Sensitivity analysis showed that the results of meta-analysis were robust. Conclusion Compared with drug sensitive TB patients, household contacts with drug-resistant TB patients had a higher risk of tuberculosis, but there was no difference in the risk of TB among the two groups.
