Clinical and diagnostic ethodology for the formation of an individual functioning profile оf a patient with tuberculosis of the respiratory system

Abstract

Objective. To improve the assessment of the severity of functional disorders in a patient with respiratory tuberculosis by using the developed clinical and diagnostic methodology for creating an individual functional profile based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.
Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the study included 224 patients with respiratory tuberculosis of working age, who were referred for the first time to a medical rehabilitation expert commission to determine disability. The average age of the surveyed population was 47.38 ± 10.63 years. Among the examined patients there were 168 (75.0 %, 95 % CI (68.9—80.2)) men, whose average age was 49.24 ± 10.24 years, and 56 (25.0 %, 95 % CI (19.7—31.1)) women, whose average age was 41.82 ± 9.89 years.
Results. Based on the results of the study, a clinical and diagnostic methodology was developed for forming an individual functioning profile of a patient with tuberculosis of the respiratory system from the perspective of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.
Сonclusion. The developed clinical and diagnostic methodology for forming an individual profile of the functioning of a patient with tuberculosis of the respiratory system from the perspective of the International Classification of functioning, Disability and Health allows an objective assessment of the severity of functional disorders and disability in patients with tuberculosis of the respiratory system, which in turn will be aimed at making an objective expert decision, timely referral of patients with this pathology for medical and social examination and prevention of primary disability aggravation.
