Identification of prognostic factors of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis: a retrospective cohort of 106 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The morbidity and mortality of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) are very high. We aimed to investigate the prognostic factors of patients with CPA, especially focusing on the underlying pulmonary disease and the probable co-infection of bacterial.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 106 CPA patients from November 2019 to August 2023. We collected the patient's clinical medical records. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze patient survival; log-rank tests were utilized to compare survival among groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were applied for identification of potential prognostic factors.

Results

The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 60.3±14.8 years; 74 (69.8%) patients were male. There
