Analysis of prognostic factors and construction of a prediction model for patients with initially treated severe pulmonary tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and is the leading cause of death among single infectious diseases worldwide. The mortality rate of patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is relatively high. This study aimed to explore the prognostic factors of patients with initially treated severe PTB and construct a predictive model.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 189 patients with initially treated severe PTB admitted to Beijing Chest Hospital from January 2024 to October 2024. The patients were randomly assigned to a modeling group (n=107) and a validation group (n=82). Patients in the modeling group were further assigned to a survival group (n=73) and a mortality group (n=34) bas
