Résumé

Treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) involves prolonged courses of multiple antibiotics that are variably tolerated and commonly cause adverse drug reactions (ADR). The purpose of this retrospective, single-center study was to identify demographic and disease-related variables associated with significant ADRs among patients treated with antibiotics against MAC-PD. We reviewed all patients treated with antibiotic therapy for MAC-PD at a single center from 2000 to 2021. Patients were included if they met diagnostic criteria for MAC-PD, were prescribed targeted antibiotic therapy for any length of time and had their treatment course documented in their health record. We compared patients who completed antibiotics as originally prescribed (tolerant) with those whose antibiotic treatment course was modified or terminated secondary to an ADR (intolerant). Over the study period, 235 patients were prescribed antibiotic treatment with their clinical course documented in our center's electronic health record, and 246 treatment courses were analyzed. One hundred forty-three (57%) tolerated therapy versus 108 (43%) experienced ADRs. Among the 108 intolerant courses, 67 (63%) required treatment modification and 49 (46%) required premature treatment termination. Treatment intolerance was associated more frequently with smear positive sputum cultures (34% vs. 20%, p = 0.009), a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (4 vs. 6, p = 0.007), and existing liver disease (7% vs. 1%, p = 0.03). There was no between-group difference in BMI (21 vs. 22), fibrocavitary disease (24 vs. 19%), or macrolide sensitivity (94 vs. 80%). The use of daily therapy was not associated with intolerance (77 vs. 79%). Intolerant patients were more likely to be culture positive after 6 months of treatment (44 vs. 25%). Patients prescribed antibiotic therapy for MAC-PD are more likely to experience ADRs if they have smear positive sputum cultures at diagnosis, a higher CCI, or existing liver disease. Our study's rate of early treatment cessation due to ADR's was similar to that of other studies (20%) but is the first of its kind to evaluate patient and disease factors associated with ADR's. A systematic approach to classifying and addressing ADRs for patients undergoing treatment for MAC-PD is an area for further investigation.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) involves prolonged courses of multiple antibiotics that are variably tolerated and commonly cause adverse drug reactions (ADR). The purpose of this retrospective, single-center study was to identify demographic and disease-related variables associated with significant ADRs among patients treated with antibiotics against MAC-PD.
METHODS METHODS
We reviewed all patients treated with antibiotic therapy for MAC-PD at a single center from 2000 to 2021. Patients were included if they met diagnostic criteria for MAC-PD, were prescribed targeted antibiotic therapy for any length of time and had their treatment course documented in their health record. We compared patients who completed antibiotics as originally prescribed (tolerant) with those whose antibiotic treatment course was modified or terminated secondary to an ADR (intolerant).
RESULTS RESULTS
Over the study period, 235 patients were prescribed antibiotic treatment with their clinical course documented in our center's electronic health record, and 246 treatment courses were analyzed. One hundred forty-three (57%) tolerated therapy versus 108 (43%) experienced ADRs. Among the 108 intolerant courses, 67 (63%) required treatment modification and 49 (46%) required premature treatment termination. Treatment intolerance was associated more frequently with smear positive sputum cultures (34% vs. 20%, p = 0.009), a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (4 vs. 6, p = 0.007), and existing liver disease (7% vs. 1%, p = 0.03). There was no between-group difference in BMI (21 vs. 22), fibrocavitary disease (24 vs. 19%), or macrolide sensitivity (94 vs. 80%). The use of daily therapy was not associated with intolerance (77 vs. 79%). Intolerant patients were more likely to be culture positive after 6 months of treatment (44 vs. 25%).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Patients prescribed antibiotic therapy for MAC-PD are more likely to experience ADRs if they have smear positive sputum cultures at diagnosis, a higher CCI, or existing liver disease. Our study's rate of early treatment cessation due to ADR's was similar to that of other studies (20%) but is the first of its kind to evaluate patient and disease factors associated with ADR's. A systematic approach to classifying and addressing ADRs for patients undergoing treatment for MAC-PD is an area for further investigation.
