Abstract
RATIONALE
Recent empirical research suggests isoniazid may lead to a risk reduction of incident tuberculosis among close tuberculosis contacts of multi-drug resistant (MDR) tuberculosis.
OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the association between isoniazid tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT), compared to no treatment, upon incident tuberculosis in household contacts of MDR tuberculosis cases using a large global consortium of tuberculosis contact tracing studies.
METHODS
We conducted a systematic review and individual-participant meta-analysis among observational studies of household contact tracing studies. Participants were included if they were exposed to someone with MDR-tuberculosis and were given either 6 months of isoniazid TPT or no TPT. Our primary outcome was incident tuberculosis in contacts exposed to tuberculosis. We derived adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) using mixed-effects, multivariable survival regression models with study-level random effects. The effectiveness of isoniazid TPT against incident tuberculosis was estimated through propensity score matching. We stratified our results by contact age, background tuberculosis burden, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection status.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS
We included participant-level data from 6,668 contacts exposed to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis from 17 countries. The effectiveness of isoniazid TPT against incident tuberculosis in contacts of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was 57% (aHR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26-0.71) and did not appreciably change with adjustment for additional potential confounders. The reduction in incident tuberculosis was marginally greater among child (<20 years old) contacts (0.51; 95% CI, 0.28-0.92) compared to adult contacts (0.69; 95% CI, 0.22-2.20). The reduction in incidence was 73% (0.27; 95% CI, 0.11-0.70) in the first year of follow-up; effectiveness dropped to 60% (0.40; 95% CI, 0.15-1.06) from 12-23 months of follow-up and was non-significant after two years (28% effectiveness; 0.72; 95% CI, 0.33-1.54).
CONCLUSIONS
Among over 6,500 contacts of MDR-tuberculosis, isoniazid TPT was highly effective in preventing incident tuberculosis. The reduction was greatest in high-burden countries and waned after 2 years of follow-up.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine focuses on human biology and disease, as well as animal studies that contribute to the understanding of pathophysiology and treatment of diseases that affect the respiratory system and critically ill patients. Papers that are solely or predominantly based in cell and molecular biology are published in the companion journal, the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology. The Journal also seeks to publish clinical trials and outstanding review articles on areas of interest in several forms. The State-of-the-Art review is a treatise usually covering a broad field that brings bench research to the bedside. Shorter reviews are published as Critical Care Perspectives or Pulmonary Perspectives. These are generally focused on a more limited area and advance a concerted opinion about care for a specific process. Concise Clinical Reviews provide an evidence-based synthesis of the literature pertaining to topics of fundamental importance to the practice of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Images providing advances or unusual contributions to the field are published as Images in Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep Medicine and the Sciences.
A recent trend and future direction of the Journal has been to include debates of a topical nature on issues of importance in pulmonary and critical care medicine and to the membership of the American Thoracic Society. Other recent changes have included encompassing works from the field of critical care medicine and the extension of the editorial governing of journal policy to colleagues outside of the United States of America. The focus and direction of the Journal is to establish an international forum for state-of-the-art respiratory and critical care medicine.
