Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the nutritional status of lung patients undergoing organ treatment and learn about some related factors in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on all 230 pulmonary TB patients aged 18 years and older inpatient treatment at Quang Tri Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases Hospital from May 2021 to May 2022. Nutritional status was assessed by the SGA tool by physicians. Results: The prevalence of TB patients with good nutrition was 48.4%, mild-moderate malnutrition was 47.2% and severe malnutrition was 4.4%. Factors related to the nutritional status of the study subjects include economic status (OR = 3,94; KTC 95%: 1,19 – 5,85; p = 0,017), physical activity (OR = 6,25; KTC 95%: 1,87 – 27,27; p = 0,004)) and total energy intake of the 24-hour diet (OR = 9,35; KTC 95%: 2,86 – 18,87; p < 0,0001). Conclusions: Malnutrition among tuberculosis inpatients is quite high. It is necessary to screen and assess the nutritional status of patients immediately upon admission and periodically monitor during treatment to promptly detect patients with malnutrition and have timely intervention plans.
