Rehabilitation of People With Post-tuberculosis Lung Disease

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pulmonary Tuberculosis

In brief

Tuberculosis (TB) can leave numerous sequelae, where survivors experience a transition from an acute illness to living with a multifaceted chronic illness. Post-TB lung disease (PD-PTB) encompasses lung diseases and pathologies that occur after one or more episodes of TB, which can affect the patient's lung health and cause disabling symptoms that strongly affect their long-term health. In 2020, it was estimated that there were 155 million TB survivors still alive worldwide, with a large proportion of them carrying functional sequelae with profound socioeconomic repercussions. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on functionality and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of people with PD-PTB and to build a PD-PTB severity scoring system based on the data. of pre-RP individuals using artificial intelligence technique.
