Key Points

To identify factors associated with poor treatment outcomes in Mycobacterium abscessus complex infections.
Observational study of pulmonary infections
Assessment of co-infections and comorbid conditions
Analysis of social factors such as education and substance use.
Pulmonary infection significantly correlates with poor treatment outcomes.
HIV co-infection shows a negative impact on recovery.
Renal disease, alcohol abuse, and illicit drug use are linked to worse outcomes.

Implication

Observational evidence links pulmonary infection and HIV co-infection to poor treatment outcomes in adults, suggesting intervention needs.

Abstract

The evidence shows that pulmonary infection by MABC, HIV co-infection, fewer years of schooling, renal disease, alcohol abuse and the use of illicit drugs are associated with poor outcomes.
