Prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection in transplant candidates: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Tuberculosis (TB) is considered as a serious complication for organ transplant recipients; therefore, the detection and appropriate treatment of latent infection are recommended for preventing active TB infections in the future. The objective of this review is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the prevalence of latent TB infection (LTBI) in transplant candidates. METHODS:Electronic databases, including MEDLINE (via PubMed), SCOPUS were searched until 30 June 2017. The prevalence of LTBI was estimated using the random effects meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was evaluated by subgroup analysis. Data were analyzed by STATA version 14. RESULTS:The pooled prevalence of LTBI based on tuberculin skin test (TST) in different transplant types was as follows: liver 24% (14%-33%, 95% CI), lung 22% (18%-26%), renal 21% (16%-27%, 95% CI) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) 14% (9%-19%). The prevalence of LTBI based on Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) tests in renal transplant candidates was 31% (95% CI; 25-37%), which was much higher than the prevalence of LTBI in liver transplant candidates (25%, 95% CI; 17-33%) and HCT transplant candidates (13%, 95% CI; 10-16%) and there was statistically significant differences between them. The pooled prevalence of indeterminate results based on IGRAs test in different transplant types was as follows: renal 6% (4%-8%, 95% CI) and liver 12% (2%-21%, 95% CI). Subgroup analysis revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the overall prevalence of indeterminate results by using IGRA tests in liver transplant candidates (12%, 95% CI; 2-21%) and renal transplant candidates (6%, 95% CI; 4-8%). The pooled prevalence of post-transplant TB was 2% (1%-2%, 95% CI) and its occurrence was more common in renal recipients (4% (2%-7%, 95% CI)) than in the liver transplant patients (1% (0%-2%, 95% CI)). The prevalence of LTBI in the subgroup (i.e. the patients' mean age was <50 years) was significantly higher than the prevalence of LTBI by using TST/IGRAs in the other subgroup (i.e. the patients' mean age was ≥50 years). CONCLUSION:Our study suggests fair overall agreement between IGRAs and TST in patients requiring liver and HCT transplantation, while a superiority of IGRAs over TST in patients requiring renal transplantation was seen.
