Journal Article
Language and racial disparities in treatment initiation for patients with pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacteria
2025
Overview
Objective
Disparities in testing and treatment of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (P-NTM) warrant further investigation into language and race’s impact on treatment initiation. The objective of the study is to compare the length of treatment initiation for P-NTM patients assessed in the pulmonary and infectious diseases clinics through language and race.
Results
The cohort included 63 patients; 28 patients received treatment, and 35 patients did not receive treatment. According to the IDSA/ATS guidelines for diagnosis of pulmonary NTM, 55% of patients met all three categories, 40% of patients did not fulfill all three categories and 5% of patient charts were inconclusive. Charts were considered inconclusive if a comprehensive NTM evaluation was not conducted, such as no CT imaging, only one culture sent, or lost to follow up.
