PG - 53 LID - 10.1186/s12890-023-02325-7 [doi] LID - 53 AB - BACKGROUND: Patients with tuberculosis (TB) and HIV often present with impairments in lung function and exercise capacity after treatment. We evaluated clinical and immunologic variables associated with a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) in the change in the 6 min walk test distance during the first 24 weeks of antiretroviral (ART) and anti-tubercular therapy. METHODS: Adults initiating ART and anti-TB treatment in the setting of newly-diagnosed HIV and pulmonary TB were enrolled in a prospective cohort study in South Africa. Patients underwent 6 min walk tests and spirometry at weeks 0, 4, 12, and 24 and biomarker level measurements early during treatment, at weeks 0, 4, and 12, when inflammation levels are typically elevated. Biomarkers included matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-1, collagen 1a, IL-6, IL-8, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL-10), CXCL-11, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), plasminogen activator, vascular endothelial growth factor, and chemokine (C-C) motif-2 (CCL-2). An MCID was derived statistically, and achievement of an MCID was modeled as the outcome using logistic regression model. RESULTS: Eighty-nine patients walked an average of 393 (+/- standard deviation = 69) meters at baseline, which increased by an average of 9% (430 +/- 70 m) at week 24. The MCID for change in walk distance was estimated as 41 m. Patients experiencing an MCID on treatment had worse lung function, lower 6 min walk test distance, higher levels of proinflammatory biomarkers including TIMP-1 and M-CSF, and lower levels of collagen 1a at baseline. Experiencing an MCID during treatment was associated with increases in forced expiratory volume in 1-s [odds ratio (OR) = 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.05-1.33] and increases in blood collagen 1a levels (OR = 1.31, 95%CI 1.06-1.62). CONCLUSIONS: ART and TB treatment are associated with substantial improvements in 6 min walk test distance over time. Achievement of an MCID in the 6 min walk test in this study was associated with more severe disease at baseline and increases in collagen 1a levels and lung function during therapy. CI - (c) 2023.
