Increased Lung Cancer Risk and Associated Risk Factors in Tuberculosis Survivors: A Korean Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have comprehensively evaluated the risk of lung cancer in tuberculosis survivors with consideration of smoking status and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Furthermore, little is known about lung cancer risk factors in tuberculosis survivors.

Methods

This population-based cohort study enrolled tuberculosis survivors (n = 75 467) between 2010 and 2017 and 1:1 age- and sex-matched controls. Subjects were followed up for 1 year from the date of tuberculosis diagnosis to the date of the incident lung cancer, death, or December 2018, whichever came first. The risk of lung cancer was evaluated according to smoking and COPD status. We also evaluated the risk factors for lung cancer and developed an individualized lung cancer prediction model for t
