Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of an all-oral bedaquiline (BDQ)-containing regimen for pediatric multidrug/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) through a multicenter, retrospective study in China.
Methods: In the study, pediatric patients receiving all-oral BDQ-containing regimen (BDQ group) with clinical matched control group were included, the control group received an injection-containing regimen. The treatment outcomes and the incidence of adverse events (AEs) were compared and analyzed.
Results: 79 pediatric patients were enrolled, including 37 cases in BDQ group and 42 cases in the control group, the median age was 12 {8-16} and 11 {9-15} in both groups respectively. Favorable treatment outcome and cure rate in BDQ group were significantly higher than those in control group (100%vs 83.3%, p 0.03; 94.6%vs 63.3%, p 0.00). Median time of sputum culture conversion in BDQ group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (4 weeks vs 8 weeks, p 0.00). The incidence of AEs in the BDQ group was significantly less than that in the control group (48.6% vs 71.4%, p 0.03). No AEs leading to treatment discontinuation of BDQ occurred.
Conclusions: The all-oral BDQ-containing regimens may be effective and safe in the Chinese pediatric population.
目的:通过在中国开展的一项多中心回顾性研究,观察含贝达喹啉(BDQ)全口服方案治疗小儿耐多药/利福平结核病(MDR/RR-TB)的疗效和安全性。方法:采用全口服含BDQ方案的患儿(BDQ组)和临床匹配的对照组,对照组采用含注射方案。比较分析两组患者的治疗效果及不良事件(ae)发生率。结果:纳入79例患儿,其中BDQ组37例,对照组42例,两组中位年龄分别为12{8-16}和11{9-15}。BDQ组患者的良好疗效和治愈率均显著高于对照组(100%vs 83.3%, p 0.03;94.6%vs 63.3%, p 0.00)。BDQ组痰培养转化的中位时间显著短于对照组(4周vs 8周,p < 0.05)。BDQ组不良事件发生率明显低于对照组(48.6% vs 71.4%, p 0.03)。未发生导致BDQ停药的不良事件。结论:含bdq全口服方案在中国儿童人群中可能是安全有效的。
