Abstract:

Objective To explore the effects of mobile phone dependence and sleep disorder on nutritional status, inflammatory level and disease severity of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods A total of 154 young pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted from January 2019 to December 2019 were selected. The patients were divided into four groups, group A (without mobile phone dependence or sleep disorder) (n=50), group B (only mobile phone dependence) (n=49), group C (only sleep disorder) (n=35) and group D (mobile phone dependence with sleep disorder) (n=20) according to with or without mobile phone dependence and sleep disorder.The differences of nutritional status, inflammatory level and disease severity among groups were analyzed. Results Compared with the group A, body mass index (BMI) and absolute lymphocyte value (LYM) in groups D were significantly lower; C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were significantly higher; pathogenic positive, pulmonary cavity, bronchial tuberculosis were more likely to occurre (all P<0.05).Conclusion For pulmonary tuberculosis patients, mobile phone dependence combined with sleep disorder can affect their nutritional status, inflammatory level and disease severity. If these are intervened as soon as possible, the patient's condition may be improved.
