Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death attributable to an infectious agent. Treatment failure and loss to follow-up are the primary risk factors for the development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains. Depressive and substance use disorders have also been strongly associated with loss to follow-up during TB treatment; however, examining changes in depression scores during a part of the treatment may allow the identification of other groups at higher risk for negative outcomes. On the other hand, since some symptoms commonly used in scales for detecting depressive symptoms overlap or resemble those of TB, they may have limited utility in this group. Based on this, we propose the following investigations: Research 1 The aim of this initial study was to identify trajectories of depressive symptoms during the first half of treatment for drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and to determine their association with loss to follow-up in the second half. The study constituted a secondary analysis of longitudinal data from a patient cohort that commenced treatment for drug-sensitive pulmonary TB at healthcare centers in San Juan de Lurigancho. Data from 265 patients were collected, including initial and monthly assessments of depressive symptoms employing the 5-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Additionally, data related to negative treatment outcomes, encompassing loss to follow-up, were gathered. Three trajectories of depressive symptoms during the first half of the antituberculosis treatment were identified: a "decline" trajectory (68.7%), a "growth" trajectory (20%), and a trajectory marked by high symptoms (11.3%). In comparison to individuals following the "decline" trajectory, those on the "growth" trajectory had a higher likelihood of experiencing loss to follow-up, after controlling for sociodemographic variables and alcohol use at least once per week. Research 2 The objective of this study was to validate a scale for the detection of major depressive episodes for use in patients undergoing tuberculosis (TB) treatment. A validation cross-sectional study was conducted, wherein depressive symptoms were gathered from previously existing Spanish scales, resulting in 58 selected items for the subsequent phase. These items were administered to individuals undergoing TB treatment, and the diagnosis of a major depressive episode was determined using the SCID-5 interview by a psychiatrist. Items were consecutively selected based on the highest area under the ROC curve (auROC) until no significant improvement was observed upon adding new items. Data from 163 individuals were collected, revealing that an 8-item scale comprising the items "I have felt depressed," "concentration," "would be better off dead," "thinking difficulty," "restlessness," "worries," "lost patience," and "happy about good news" achieved an auROC of 95.9% (95% CI = 92-99.9%). This scale achieved a sensitivity of 87.2% and specificity of 92.2%, with a cutoff score of 11 points or higher, displaying good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega of 80.4%). Conclusion: Three trajectories of depressive symptoms can be identified during the first half of treatment for drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB). An increasing trajectory appears to be associated with a higher risk of loss to follow-up during the second half of treatment. We also found evidence that short versions of depression scales demonstrate adequate discriminative ability, internal consistency, and factorial structure.
