Surgical management outcomes of tuberculosis with hemoptysis and without hemoptysis
Abstract
Materials and methods: Patients, between 1985 and 2018, diagnosed with tuberculosis surgically, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups; those without hemoptysis (Group 1) and those with hemoptysis (Group 2). The analysis included age, gender, symptoms, comorbidities, Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) findings, surgical interventions, perioperative complications, lengths of hospital stay, recurrence of hemoptysis, and comparison of Group 1 and 2.
Results: 541 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed surgically were analyzed. 448 patients were in Group 1 and 93 patients were in Group 2. The patients in Group 2 were significantly younger than the patients in Group 1 (Group 1 mean age 57.8±6.2, Group 2 mean age 31.2±5.3, p<0.01). The most frequent comorbidity was malignancy in both groups. Cavitation was more common in Group 2 (Group 1 92 (20.5%), Group 2 79 (84.9%), p<0.01). Postoperative complications and hospital stay length were similar in both groups and there was no hemoptysis recurrence in Group 2. There was no perioperative death in Group 1 while 3 (3%) patients died in Group 2.
Conclusion: The surgical morbidity and mortality of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis after the surgical intervention performed for the diagnosis or treatment of the hemoptysis were not significantly different from those of the patients without hemoptysis
