Worsening of the disability grade during leprosy treatment: prevalence and its determinants in Southern Nigeria.

Abstract：

Background:In Nigeria, little is known about the development of new or additional physical disability during leprosy treatment. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and evaluate factors associated with worsening of physical disability during leprosy treatment in Nigeria. Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study conducted among leprosy patients treated in six referral facilities in six States in Nigeria between January 2011 and December 2015. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of worsening disability after treatment. Results:Of 984 leprosy patients who completed treatment, the mean age of the patients was 39.8±17.6 years and 57.4% (565/984) of them were male. Also, 51.6% (508/984) of the patients had either grade 1 or 2 disability at diagnosis, but this declined to 30.8% (303/984) following treatment (p<0.001). Overall, 4.7% (46/984) of the cases developed new or additional disability (or worsening disability) during treatment. The cases with the greatest odds for developing worsening physical disability were patients from the southwest (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 15.9; 95% CI 3.8-67.4) and southeast zones (aOR 4.7; 95% CI 1.1-19.2), and patients who had a leprosy reaction requiring additional corticosteroid therapy (aOR 11.7; 95% CI 4.4-31.2). Conclusion:Sustained capacity building for health professionals on better monitoring and management of leprosy and its complications is strongly recommended in Nigeria.
