If factors associated to mortality, severe morbidity and unsuccessful treatment related to the host are well identified in PLWH, there is scarce knowledge on factors related to the disease itself such as bacillary load, extent of lung involvement and disease dissemination to other organs. We sought to assess whether tuberculosis-related factors were associated with key patient outcomes in PLWH using data from an international clinical trial. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of the ANRS 12300 Reflate TB2 international phase III open-label randomized trial that assessed different antiretroviral regimens in PLWH treated for tuberculosis. We evaluated whether bacillary load (smear positivity grade), extent of lung involvement (cavitation on chest x-ray) and disease dissemination (urine LAM positivity) were associated with mortality using Cox proportional hazard models and to severe morbidity and unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment using logistic regressions. Results Of 457 participants included in this study, 90 (20.4%) had grade 2 + or 3 + smear positivity, 39 (10.8%) had cavitation on chest X-ray, and 147 (32.2%) had a positive urinary LAM. Overall, 19 (4.2%) participants died, 113 (24.7%) presented severe morbidity, and 33 (7.2%) had unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment. Factors that remained independently associated with mortality were cavitation on chest x-ray (aHR = 7.92, 95% CI, 1.74–35.94, p = .0073) and LAM positivity (aHR = 5.53, 95% CI, 1.09–28.06, p = .0389). The only factor that remained significantly associated with severe morbidity was LAM positivity (aOR = 2.04, 95% CI, 1.06–3.92, p = .0323). No factor remained significantly associated with unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment. Conclusions In PLWH with tuberculosis enrolled in a trial, tuberculosis disease characteristics related to disease severity were cavitation on chest x-ray and urine LAM positivity. Early identification of these factors could help improve the management of PLWH with tuberculosis and improve their survival. tuberculosis HIV mortality severe morbidity unsuccessful treatment bacillary load extent of lung involvement disease dissemination Background Until the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, with 1.6 million deaths estimated in 2021 ( 1 ). In people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH), tuberculosis (TB) is the leading opportunistic infection, with 710 000 cases in 2021, and the first cause of death, accounting for 187 000 deaths in the same year ( 1 ), as also shown by autopsy studies ( 2 – 6 ). As such, in PLWH, TB is a severe disease, not only due to its lethality but also to the significant morbidity requiring hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, paradoxical clinical deterioration due to Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS), delayed cure, treatment failure or relapse ( 7 – 12 ). Individuals admitted with HIV-associated tuberculosis are frequently acutely ill, with high inpatient deaths rates occurring early during hospitalization, at a median of 4–5 days after admission ( 2 , 3 , 13 ), despite appropriate antituberculosis treatment ( 13 ). This suggests the urgent need for acute management strategies to increase survival in PLWH with tuberculosis, which can be achieved only through a better understanding of the main contributors to severe morbidity and mortality. A better knowledge of the role played by factors related to TB disease itself in mortality, severe morbidity or unsuccessful treatment in PLWH is then needed as it would help to identify those factors early and could contribute to improve the management of most severe patients with closer medical monitoring or a possible intensification of their treatment ( 14 – 16 ). Most studies evaluating risk factors associated with TB mortality, severe morbidity or unsuccessful treatment in PLWH typically focus on factors related to the host, such as male sex ( 17 – 21 ), advanced age ( 8 , 12 , 17 , 20 , 22 – 25 ), co-morbidities ( 8 , 23 , 24 , 26 – 35 ), poor adherence to treatment ( 24 , 32 , 36 , 37 ), smoking ( 26 , 38 ), alcohol use ( 29 , 31 , 32 ) or low socio-economic level ( 38 , 39 ). Very few studies focused on important characteristics of the TB disease itself such as bacillary load ( 8 , 22 , 40 ), extent of lung involvement on chest x-ray ( 36 , 41 – 43 ), or disease dissemination ( 17 , 44 , 45 ). Furthermore, almost all these studies are retrospective cohort studies and were not specifically designed for PLWH. Clinical trials are known to be the gold standard design in medical research, and even when only a secondary analysis with an aim different from that of the initial trial is conducted, the prospective collection of data on the outcomes of interest could provide more valid results than retrospective cohort studies, especially by reducing the risk of recall bias or inaccurate reporting. We sought to assess the association between TB severity (mortality, severe morbidity and unsuccessful treatment) and three important characteristics of TB reported to be associated with the disease severity (bacillary load, extent of lung involvement on chest x-ray, and disease dissemination) in antiretroviral treatment (ART) naive PLWH enrolled and followed up in the ANRS 12300 Reflate TB2 trial, an international phase III open-label randomized trial assessing different antiretroviral regimens for treatment of HIV infection in PLWH treated for tuberculosis ( 46 ). Methods Study Design and Population We conducted a secondary analysis of the ANRS 12300 Reflate TB2 trial. The trial design and study results have been reported elsewhere ( 46 ). Briefly, this multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority, randomized, phase 3 trial enrolled ART-naive HIV-1 infected adults with bacteriologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed TB who had initiated rifampicin-containing TB treatment within the past 8 weeks at six clinical sites in five countries (Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, France, Mozambique, and Vietnam) between September 2015 and January 2018. Participants initiated ART with either raltegravir 400 mg 1 pill twice daily or efavirenz 600 mg once daily, to which they were randomly assigned, both in association with tenofovir 300 mg plus lamivudine 300 mg once daily. Participants with HIV-2 infection, TB meningitis, rifampicin-resistant TB, impaired hepatic or renal function, severe anemia, and who were pregnant or breastfeeding were excluded. In the present study, we included all participants enrolled in the ANRS 12300 Reflate TB2 trial that were included in the intention to treat analysis and we considered follow-up until week 24, i.e. 6 months in the trial. Study Procedures A screening visit was performed at any time between TB treatment initiation and TB treatment initiation + seven weeks, provided that inclusion would be feasible no later than eight weeks after tuberculosis treatment initiation, and within the first two weeks in participants whose CD4 T-cell count was known to be < 50 cells/µL. Smear microscopy, Xpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), mycobacterial cultures on expectorated sputum, relevant extrapulmonary samples and chest radiographs performed at the time of tuberculosis diagnosis were collected, or done at the screening visit, if not already available. Once participants provided written informed consent and their eligibility criteria had been checked, they were randomized into one of the two trial arms. The inclusion (W0) visit was the ART initiation visit performed within 2 weeks of the screening visit. All participants received standard TB treatment with isoniazid (4–6 mg/kg/day), rifampicin (8–12 mg/kg/day), pyrazinamide (20–30 mg/kg/day), and ethambutol (15–20 mg/kg/day) for 2 months (intensive phase), followed by isoniazid (4–6 mg/kg/day) and rifampicin (8–12 mg/kg/day) for 4 months (maintenance phase). Follow-up visits were organized bi-monthly for the first month of follow-up in the trial, every month thereafter until W24. TB follow-up exams included sputum smear microscopy and culture in participants with pulmonary TB at month 2 and month 5 of treatment and chest radiographs at month 2 and month 6 of tuberculosis treatment. TB follow up exams were not performed at fixed visits in the trial but at different time points depending on the duration of TB treatment at inclusion. As recommended by WHO, participants were initiated on ART after 2–8 weeks of tuberculosis treatment (depending on CD4 cell counts). Investigators recorded frequency, grade, and type of adverse events during the 48 weeks of the study in an unsolicited manner. Time to adverse events was collected and an endpoint review committee validated all grade 3 and 4 adverse events. Deaths were recorded as the outcome of a serious adverse event. Time to death and death certificates were collected whenever possible. Outcomes and definitions We focused on three main outcomes in the present study: 1) death during tuberculosis treatment, 2) severe morbidity during tuberculosis treatment and 3) unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment. We considered deaths due to all causes occurring between inclusion and the W24 visit in the trial. We defined severe morbidity as a composite outcome comprising of hospitalization and/or drug induced adverse events and/or tuberculosis-associated IRIS and/or tuberculosis treatment failure occurring between inclusion and W24, considering hospitalizations due to any cause with a duration of at least 7 days, grade 3 or 4 ART or tuberculosis related drug-induced adverse event and/or paradoxical TB-associated IRIS validated by the endpoint review committee. We defined unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment as a composite outcome comprising death and/or treatment failure and/or loss to follow up between inclusion and W24; considering as treatment failure a treatment regimen that needed to be terminated or permanently changed to a new regimen or treatment strategy and as lost to follow up participants whose treatment was interrupted for 2 consecutive months or more ( 47 ). Main independent variables Our main independent variables of interest were three important characteristics of TB reported to be associated with disease severity: 1) bacillary load documented through smear positivity grade, or gene expert positivity level, or delay to culture positivity, 2) extent of lung involvement on chest x-ray including presence of cavitation and proportion of the lung field, and 3) disease dissemination documented through urine lipoarabinomannan assay (LAM) positivity, involvement of other organs or miliary TB. Statistical Analysis We described baseline characteristics using frequency and proportions for qualitative variables, and median and interquartile range (IQR) for quantitative variables. We compared characteristics across groups using Wilcoxon tests for quantitative variables, and χ2 or Fisher’s exact test for qualitative variables as appropriate. We used Cox proportional hazard models to assess factors associated with mortality from inclusion to W24 and logistic regressions to assess factors associated with severe morbidity and unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment at W24. We selected variables based on previous evidence from the literature and clinical relevance for testing in univariate models. We included the selected variables along with CD4 count and HIV viral load in multivariate models and derived final models using a step by step descending selection, retaining all variables with a level of significance p = 0.20 in univariate models in the initial model and all variables with a level of significance p = 0.05 along with the three main variables of interest (bacillary load, extent of lung involvement and disease dissemination) in the final model. We analyzed data using the SAS® Studio software (version 3.82). Results We included 457 participants in this study, excluding 3 participants (2 with HIV 2 infection and 1 with HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/ml). Most subjects were male (60.2%), their median age was 35.3 years, (IQR, 28.9–42.9), their median CD4 count was 103.0 cells per mm 3 , (IQR, 38.0-238.5) and a majority had pulmonary tuberculosis (Table 1 ).

Median duration of TB treatment before enrollment was 20 days (IQR, 15–27). In terms of tuberculosis disease characteristics, regarding bacillary load, 90 (20.4%) participants had grade 2 + or 3 + smear positivity, 101 (23.6%) had medium or high Xpert positivity level and 198 (44.8%) had a time to MTB culture positivity > 14 days; regarding extent of lung involvement, 39 (10.8%) participants had cavitation on chest X-ray, 225 (49.2%) had bilateral lesions and 227 (50.2%) had cavitation or bilateral location; regarding tuberculosis disease dissemination, 147 (32.2%) of 305 participants with LAM available had a positive urinary test, 87 (19%) had involvement of other organs and 10 (2.2%) had miliary patterns (Table 1 ). How variables characterizing bacillary load and tuberculosis disease dissemination cross with each others is presented in supplementary tables S1, S2 and S3 in appendix. In terms of outcomes, 21 (4.6%) participants died from inclusion to W24, at a median time of 58 (IQR: 45–107) days; 6 (1.31%) participants were lost to follow up; 1 (0.21%) was transferred; and 429 (93.87%) were followed up until W24, for a total of 202.19 person-years (PY) of follow-up accrued during the study. The mortality rate was estimated to 10.4 (95% CI 5.96–14.83) deaths per 100 person-years (PY). Overall, 46 participants (10.1%) were hospitalized (≥ 7 days) at least once for a median duration of 17 (IQR, 12–28) days; the median times between tuberculosis treatment initiation and first hospitalization and between ART initiation and first hospitalization were 49 (IQR, 32–79) and 24 (IQR, 13–49) days, respectively. Overall, 121 (26.47%) participants presented grade 3 or 4 drug induced adverse events, 61 (13.3%) presented grade 3 or 4 IRIS; 6 (1.3%) experienced tuberculosis treatment failure, 37 (8.1%) had unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment cases, and a total of 118 (25.8%) participants were defined as having severe morbidity.

These results show that characteristics selected as potential markers of tuberculosis disease severity, reflecting the extent of lung involvement and disease dissemination, were indeed associated with key patient outcomes. The mortality rate was lower in our study than those reported by most longitudinal studies in TB in PLHWH that usually range between 10% and 25% ( 48 – 51 ). This could be due to the fact that the most ill patients may not have been included in the trial and that those enrolled were more closely monitored in the framework of a clinical trial. The low mortality rate as well as very close monitoring in trial conditions probably contributed to low rates of loss to follow-up and treatment failure. The rate of unsuccessful treatment was also low when compared to those reported by other studies (12–33%) ( 25 , 52 – 54 ). However, the proportion of severe tuberculosis morbidity as we defined in this study was in the range between 23% and 33% usually reported ( 9 – 11 , 55 ). Extent of lung involvement captured by cavitation on chest x-ray was previously reported to be related to mortality in tuberculosis patients ( 41 , 43 ), and both cavitation and percentage of lung affected are part of the Timika score, that predicts mortality based on chest x-ray severity in adult with smear-positive pulmonary TB ( 56 ). Our study confirms these findings which may be surprising in a population of PLWH with such a high immunosuppression level, since in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, cavitations are more common during earlier stages of HIV disease, when cellular immunity is relatively preserved ( 57 ). Our finding shows that, even if uncommon at the late stage of HIV infection, presence of cavitation in PLWH is a key marker of TB severity in this population as it is in the general population ( 41 , 43 ). Beside cavitation, proportion of lung affected is the other characteristic of the extent of lung involvement reported to be related to tuberculosis disease severity ( 41 , 42 , 58 ). TB disease dissemination captured by LAM positivity was associated with mortality and severe morbidity. We chose urine LAM positivity as marker of TB dissemination since it is associated with renal tuberculosis on autopsy ( 59 ), presence of mycobacteria in the urine ( 60 ) and in blood ( 61 , 62 ). Hence, a positive urine LAM means that beside the lungs, other organs might certainly also be infected by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, even if this cannot always be evidenced. Even in immunocompetent patients, generalized TB disease means a more severe condition with an increased risk of death ( 44 , 63 ); the impact of disseminated disease is even worse in PLWH ( 64 – 66 ). In a study conducted in South Africa in hospitalized PLWHs, the degree of TB dissemination quantified with a three-point score based on urine Xpert MTB/RIF, urine LAM test and blood culture, yielding a score ranging from 0 to 3, a higher dissemination score was associated with higher mortality ( 67 ). This confirms that the disease dissemination is a key marker of TB severity in PLWH. Bacillary load captured by smear positivity grade was not associated with any of the outcomes as shown in patients from the general population i.e. HIV and non-HIV infected with tuberculosis ( 8 , 22 , 68 ). To our knowledge, this association has not previously been reported specifically among PLWH. One reason might be that PLWH have a higher rate of smear-negative disease and lower bacillary load in sputum ( 69 , 70 ), with proportions of smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis ranging from 24–61% ( 71 ). The main limitation of our study is that the trial was not initially designed for it. It is a secondary analysis of data from trial participants who might differ from patients just diagnosed in routine conditions. The standardized follow-up in the framework of a clinical trial was nevertheless an interesting strength for our study. Another limitation is the regional and epidemiological heterogeneity, since the trial was conducted in five countries representing four regions (Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Western Europe and Southeast Asia) among which patterns of both HIV and TB vary greatly. A third limitation is the important proportion of missing data for some variables of interest such as LAM; this might impact the validity of our results since the effects found might have been underestimated or overestimated. Despite the above-mentioned limitations, this study contributes to a better knowledge of the determinants of TB disease severity. In fact, the prospective collection of data in the framework of an international clinical trial provides more valid results than previous retrospective cohort studies, especially by reducing the risk of recall bias or inaccurate reporting. Considering that this secondary analysis of data from a clinical trial on PLWH confirmed results from previous retrospective cohort studies in the general population that had shown the link between tuberculosis severity and important characteristics of the disease itself such as bacillary load, extent of lung involvement and disease dissemination, these patterns should be taken into account in management strategies of PLWH with tuberculosis. In fact, by identifying these factors early, management of most severe disease could be improved with closer medical monitoring or a possible intensification of the treatment, which could subsequently increase survival in PLWH with tuberculosis. Conclusion In this secondary analysis of the Reflate TB2 trial, characteristics of tuberculosis disease itself associated with the disease severity were extent of lung involvement captured by cavitation on chest x-ray, and disease dissemination captured by urine LAM positivity. Interestingly, these important patterns of tuberculosis disease severity are not considered in the existing severity scores, except the Timika score which includes extent of lung involvement. Besides, most of these scores were not specifically designed for PLWH. Thus, existing scores may not be optimal nor applicable to PLWH. Whence the need to develop a better tuberculosis severity score for PLWH including bacillary load, extent of lung involvement on chest x-ray and the disease dissemination.

tuberculosis – a secondary analysis of the ANRS 12300 Reflate TB2 trial","fulltext":[{"header":"Background","content":"\u003cp\u003eUntil the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, with 1.6\u0026nbsp;million deaths estimated in 2021 (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e). In people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH), tuberculosis (TB) is the leading opportunistic infection, with 710 000 cases in 2021, and the first cause of death, accounting for 187 000 deaths in the same year (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e), as also shown by autopsy studies (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR3 CR4 CR5\" citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e). As such, in PLWH, TB is a severe disease, not only due to its lethality but also to the significant morbidity requiring hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, paradoxical clinical deterioration due to Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS), delayed cure, treatment failure or relapse (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR8 CR9 CR10 CR11\" citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndividuals admitted with HIV-associated tuberculosis are frequently acutely ill, with high inpatient deaths rates occurring early during hospitalization, at a median of 4\u0026ndash;5 days after admission (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e), despite appropriate antituberculosis treatment (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e). This suggests the urgent need for acute management strategies to increase survival in PLWH with tuberculosis, which can be achieved only through a better understanding of the main contributors to severe morbidity and mortality.

These results show that characteristics selected as potential markers of tuberculosis disease severity, reflecting the extent of lung involvement and disease dissemination, were indeed associated with key patient outcomes.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe mortality rate was lower in our study than those reported by most longitudinal studies in TB in PLHWH that usually range between 10% and 25% (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR49 CR50\" citationid=\"CR48\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e48\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR51\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e51\u003c/span\u003e). This could be due to the fact that the most ill patients may not have been included in the trial and that those enrolled were more closely monitored in the framework of a clinical trial. The low mortality rate as well as very close monitoring in trial conditions probably contributed to low rates of loss to follow-up and treatment failure. The rate of unsuccessful treatment was also low when compared to those reported by other studies (12\u0026ndash;33%) (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR53\" citationid=\"CR52\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e52\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR54\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e54\u003c/span\u003e). However, the proportion of severe tuberculosis morbidity as we defined in this study was in the range between 23% and 33% usually reported (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR10\" citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR55\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e55\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExtent of lung involvement captured by cavitation on chest x-ray was previously reported to be related to mortality in tuberculosis patients (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR43\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e43\u003c/span\u003e), and both cavitation and percentage of lung affected are part of the Timika score, that predicts mortality based on chest x-ray severity in adult with smear-positive pulmonary TB (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR56\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e56\u003c/span\u003e). Our study confirms these findings which may be surprising in a population of PLWH with such a high immunosuppression level, since in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, cavitations are more common during earlier stages of HIV disease, when cellular immunity is relatively preserved (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR57\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e57\u003c/span\u003e). Our finding shows that, even if uncommon at the late stage of HIV infection, presence of cavitation in PLWH is a key marker of TB severity in this population as it is in the general population (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR43\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e43\u003c/span\u003e).

We chose urine LAM positivity as marker of TB dissemination since it is associated with renal tuberculosis on autopsy (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR59\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e59\u003c/span\u003e), presence of mycobacteria in the urine (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR60\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e60\u003c/span\u003e) and in blood (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR61\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e61\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR62\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e62\u003c/span\u003e). Hence, a positive urine LAM means that beside the lungs, other organs might certainly also be infected by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, even if this cannot always be evidenced. Even in immunocompetent patients, generalized TB disease means a more severe condition with an increased risk of death (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e44\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR63\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e63\u003c/span\u003e); the impact of disseminated disease is even worse in PLWH (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR65\" citationid=\"CR64\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e64\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR66\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e66\u003c/span\u003e). In a study conducted in South Africa in hospitalized PLWHs, the degree of TB dissemination quantified with a three-point score based on urine Xpert MTB/RIF, urine LAM test and blood culture, yielding a score ranging from 0 to 3, a higher dissemination score was associated with higher mortality (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR67\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e67\u003c/span\u003e). This confirms that the disease dissemination is a key marker of TB severity in PLWH.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBacillary load captured by smear positivity grade was not associated with any of the outcomes as shown in patients from the general population i.e. HIV and non-HIV infected with tuberculosis (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR68\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e68\u003c/span\u003e). To our knowledge, this association has not previously been reported specifically among PLWH.

It is a secondary analysis of data from trial participants who might differ from patients just diagnosed in routine conditions. The standardized follow-up in the framework of a clinical trial was nevertheless an interesting strength for our study. Another limitation is the regional and epidemiological heterogeneity, since the trial was conducted in five countries representing four regions (Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Western Europe and Southeast Asia) among which patterns of both HIV and TB vary greatly. A third limitation is the important proportion of missing data for some variables of interest such as LAM; this might impact the validity of our results since the effects found might have been underestimated or overestimated.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDespite the above-mentioned limitations, this study contributes to a better knowledge of the determinants of TB disease severity. In fact, the prospective collection of data in the framework of an international clinical trial provides more valid results than previous retrospective cohort studies, especially by reducing the risk of recall bias or inaccurate reporting. Considering that this secondary analysis of data from a clinical trial on PLWH confirmed results from previous retrospective cohort studies in the general population that had shown the link between tuberculosis severity and important characteristics of the disease itself such as bacillary load, extent of lung involvement and disease dissemination, these patterns should be taken into account in management strategies of PLWH with tuberculosis. In fact, by identifying these factors early, management of most severe disease could be improved with closer medical monitoring or a possible intensification of the treatment, which could subsequently increase survival in PLWH with tuberculosis.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn this secondary analysis of the Reflate TB2 trial, characteristics of tuberculosis disease itself associated with the disease severity were extent of lung involvement captured by cavitation on chest x-ray, and disease dissemination captured by urine LAM positivity. Interestingly, these important patterns of tuberculosis disease severity are not considered in the existing severity scores, except the Timika score which includes extent of lung involvement. Besides, most of these scores were not specifically designed for PLWH. Thus, existing scores may not be optimal nor applicable to PLWH. Whence the need to develop a better tuberculosis severity score for PLWH including bacillary load, extent of lung involvement on chest x-ray and the disease dissemination.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Abbreviations","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionList\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eaHR\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eadjusted hazard ratio\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eaOR\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eadjusted odds ratio\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eART\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eAntiretroviral Treatment\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eBMI\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eBody Mass Index\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eCI\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eConfidence Interval\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eCOVID\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoronavirus Disease\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eHIV\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eHuman Immunodeficiency Virus\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eHR\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003ecrude hazard ratio\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eIRIS\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eImmune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eLAM\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003elipoarabinomannan assay\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eOR\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003ecrude odds ratio\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003ePLWH\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeople Living With HIV\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthics approval and consent to participate.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ANRS 12300 Reflate TB2 trial protocol was approved by relevant National and Local Ethics Committees in all participating countries, was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02273765, 22 October 2014) and was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

If factors associated to mortality, severe morbidity and unsuccessful treatment related to the host are well identified in PLWH, there is scarce knowledge on factors related to the disease itself such as bacillary load, extent of lung involvement and disease dissemination to other organs. We sought to assess whether tuberculosis-related factors were associated with key patient outcomes in PLWH using data from an international clinical trial.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe conducted a secondary analysis of the ANRS 12300 Reflate TB2 international phase III open-label randomized trial that assessed different antiretroviral regimens in PLWH treated for tuberculosis. We evaluated whether bacillary load (smear positivity grade), extent of lung involvement (cavitation on chest x-ray) and disease dissemination (urine LAM positivity) were associated with mortality using Cox proportional hazard models and to severe morbidity and unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment using logistic regressions.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOf 457 participants included in this study, 90 (20.4%) had grade 2\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;or 3\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;smear positivity, 39 (10.8%) had cavitation on chest X-ray, and 147 (32.2%) had a positive urinary LAM. Overall, 19 (4.2%) participants died, 113 (24.7%) presented severe morbidity, and 33 (7.2%) had unsuccessful tuberculosis treatment. Factors that remained independently associated with mortality were cavitation on chest x-ray (aHR\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;7.92, 95% CI, 1.74\u0026ndash;35.94, p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;.0073) and LAM positivity (aHR\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;5.53, 95% CI, 1.09\u0026ndash;28.06, p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;.0389). The only factor that remained significantly associated with severe morbidity was LAM positivity (aOR\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;2.04, 95% CI, 1.06\u0026ndash;3.92, p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;.0323).
