Imaging Features of Tuberculosis Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Drug Resistance

87 primary type 2 diabetes patients with rifampicin-resistant/multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (T2DM RR/MDR-TB) were studied alongside three other patient groups totaling 364 individuals. The dataset likely contains clinical and pulmonary CT imaging features collected at Dalian Public Health Clinical Center from 2018 to 2023. It was authored by Yuhua Zhao and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify high-risk imaging features for type 2 diabetes in RR/MDR-TB patients based on findings like large nodules and multiple cavities.
• Analyze correlations between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and specific CT findings such as pleural effusion.
• Compare clinical demographics like age, BMI, and smoking rates across different tuberculosis and diabetes patient groups.

Strengths

• Data covers 364 patients across four distinct clinical groups for comparative analysis.
• Includes specific imaging features analyzed via statistical tests, such as large nodules and patchy opacities.
• Clinical variables like BMI, albumin levels, and smoking rates are mentioned in the description.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single clinical center (Dalian Public Health Clinical Center), which may limit generalizability.
