Post-Tuberculosis: Sequelae and its Impact on Quality of Life in Sub-Saharan Africa.
REFNo: HS4038ES

Primary objective
To study the association between the presence of post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) and the deterioration of the quality of life in the medium and long term in people who have been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis within the framework of 5 therapeutic trials in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (Benin, Guinea and Uganda)
Secondary objectives
• Describe the clinical, radiological, functional respiratory, psychological, socio-economic characteristics and the quality of life of the people evaluated after the end of their anti-tuberculosis treatment within the framework of therapeutic trials in SSA;
• Estimate the prevalence of PTLD in the medium and long term after the end of anti-tuberculosis treatment in people who took part in the various therapeutic trials, taking into account missing data in people who could not be assessed in the Post-TB SIQ study;
• Identify the factors (at the time of TB diagnosis and at the end of treatment) associated with the presence of PTLD in people assessed after completing their TB treatment;
• Describe the care path of people suffering from PTLD and the modalities of recognition of PTLD in Benin, Guinea and Uganda within the framework of care interactions (conventional and traditional medicine) (qualitative study);
• To assess the impact of a pulmonary functional rehabilitation program on quality of life and respiratory function.
