Predictive factors of poor lung function in cured tuberculosis patients.

چکیده
Results: Forty-six patients were studied (23 males, 23 females). Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume at end /1 Sec (FEV1) and ratio of FEV1/FVC were abnormal in 13 cases, and oxygen saturation was less than 90% in three cases. Significantly higher rate of abnormal spirometry was observed in patients with poor compliance (poor 58.3% Vs good 17.6%), patients with duration of treatment less than 6 months (<6m 53.3% Vs ≥6m 16.1%), and patients with advanced lung damage (advanced 38.5% Vs mild 10%).
