Primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, while secondary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and re-hospitalisations for all-causes over medium-term follow-up.\u0000RESULTS: ;At baseline, TAPSE/SPAP was significantly lower in patients with IPF than in controls (0.36 ± 0.25 vs. 0.77 ± 0.18 mm/mmHg; P < 0.001). TAPSE/SPAP was inversely correlated with EaI (r = -0.96) in IPF patients. During follow-up (3.5 ± 1.5 years), 21 patients died and 25 were re-hospitalised due to cardiopulmonary causes. TAPSE/SPAP was independently associated with both primary (HR 0.79, 95%CI 0.65-0.97) and secondary (HR 0.94, 95%CI 0.92-0.97) endpoints. A TAPSE/SPAP ratio of <0.20 and <0.44 mm/mmHg showed the greatest sensitivity and specificity for predicting primary (AUC 0.98) and secondary (AUC 0.99) endpoints, respectively.\u0000CONCLUSIONS: TAPSE/SPAP is a strong predictor of adverse outcomes in mild-to-moderate IPF. The strong correlation between TAPSE/SPAP and EaI might be an expression of a systemic fibrotic process which involves the heart, lungs and circulation.","PeriodicalId":14411,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease","volume":"28 4","pages":"183-188"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140335649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CHW-DOT group had significantly increased odds of sputum conversion (aOR 2.95, 95% CI 1.09-7.98) and lower odds of unsuccessful treatment outcomes (aOR 0.37, 95% CI 0.13-1.1). Non-smokers had 4.85 higher odds of converting than smokers (aOR 4.85, 95% CI 1.76-13.42) and lower odds of an unsuccessful treatment than smokers (aOR 0.11, 95% CI 0.04-0.32).\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000CHW-DOT is associated with higher sputum smear conversion rates and a more favourable treatment outcome.
