Compliance predictors of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis needing phthisiological treatment

: The factors predicting initial readiness of patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis to give their consent to transthoracic interventions were investigated. It was shown that initial readiness of patients to give their consent to phthisiological treatment directly depended on the indices of "social functioning" and lymphocyte percentage in leukogram. The total prognosis algorithm with 94.1% sensitivity and 75% specificity is presented as discriminative function estimated by "social functioning" data, lymphocyte percentage in leukogram and ordinal evaluation of complaints to sweating.
