Introduction: Tuberculosis is considered a public health problem worldwide, being the thirteenth cause of death and the deadliest infectious disease behind COVID-19 and above HIV infection, reaching a total of 1, 5 million deaths in 2020. Colombia is the fifth country in the region with the highest burden of tuberculosis cases, reporting a total of 13,037 preliminary cases in 2020 in the National Tuberculosis Program, representing a significant burden for the General System of Social Security in Health.
Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study was carried out with a population of 130 patients diagnosed with tuberculosis in a third level institution at Bogotá city, to identify factors associated with the development of complications in tuberculosis patients.
Results and discussion: In the total group, the presence of malnutrition is found to be an independent risk factor for tuberculosis complications by means of a conditioned regression analysis using the exact method we found an OR of 2.53 [1.008;6.378] (p 0.00202) and adjusted OR of 1.47 [0.400-2.556] (p 0.007), neither of the other conditions can’t be associated with the presence of complications in patients diagnosed with tuberculosis.
Conclusions: In patients diagnosed with tuberculosis who attended the Santa Clara hospital between 2017 and 2018, we found that an inadequate nutritional status is associated with the presence of major complications. Other factors such as level of education, socioeconomic status or the presence of comorbidities do not show a significant influence on the objective of the study.
