Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the risk of prolonged QTc interval in patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) treated with bedaquiline in Uganda, highlighting the issue as under-researched in low-resource settings.
- - Out of 153 participants, 39 (25.5%) exhibited prolonged QTc intervals, with significant associations found between increased body mass index (BMI) and QTc prolongation, while HIV infection appeared to offer a protective effect.
- - The findings suggest a higher prevalence of QTc interval prolongation in DR-TB patients compared to healthy individuals, recommending regular body measurements to identify those at risk for this heart condition.
