Abstract
Objective: To determine whether or not there is an association between having had pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to suggest evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice.
Methodology: A systematic review (SR) of articles was done with the objective of conducting a meta-analysis to identify a possible association between having had TB and the risk of developing COPD.
Results: Results are shown from a systematic review and meta-analysis done in order to quantify the association between having had TB and developing COPD. It was based on observational, analytical studies published and indexed by Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Cochrane, and in the references of the specified articles. Of the 2 110 articles found, four were selected. Having had TB is associated with developing COPD, global OR 3.31 (CI 95% 1.88 – 5.84). Having had TB is an independent risk factor for COPD. The variables type of study and occupation were not significant in meta-regression.
Conclusions: An association was determined between having had tuberculosis and developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
