Study Summary

It is known that there is a complex relationship between tuberculosis and COPD. Post-tuberculosis airway disease or COPD associated with tuberculosis occurs in a significant portion of tuberculosis patients. However, it was observed that mortality rates and exacerbation rates of COPD patients with tuberculosis sequel were higher. However, the effect of tuberculosis sequela on functional outcomes in COPD patients has not been investigated in the studies.

The aim of this study is to determine whether the previous tuberculosis sequelae has a functional effect on patients with COPD.
