A systematic review found a high prevalence of stroke among TBM patients, with varying clinical presentations and locations of stroke, as well as a high proportion of mortality and poor outcomes.
IMPORTANCE Stroke in tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE To determine the country-specific, regional, and overall prevalence of stroke among patients with TBM, including their clinical manifestations, stroke locations, and outcomes. EVIDENCE REVIEW This systematic review searched records in MEDLINE by PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE until July 2020 for relevant articles on the occurrence and characteristics of stroke in TBM. Randomized clinical trials and cohort studies that included a population of patients with TBM were analyzed for clinical manifestations, type of stroke, area of stroke, vascular territory, and outcomes. Studies that did not report the occurrence of stroke, reported as abstract only with no full-texts available, and articles not in English were excluded. The country-specific, regional, and overall frequencies of stroke among patients with TBM were determined; secondary analysis enumerated the summary estimates of the clinical presentations, common locations of stroke, and outcomes. The Murad tool was used to assess methodological quality. FINDINGS From 852 articles identified, 71 studies involving 2194 patients with stroke in TBM were included. The sample size for each study ranged from 17 to 806 patients. The frequency of stroke in TBM showed an estimate of 0.30 (95% CI, 0.26-0.33). The most common clinical manifestations were fever and headache. The lateral striate, middle cerebral, and medial striate arteries were typically affected. The basal ganglia, cortex and lobar, and internal capsule were the frequently involved areas of the brain. The pooled proportions of mortality and poor outcomes were 0.22 (95% CI, 0.16-0.29) and 0.51(95% CI, 0.37-0.66), respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The results of this systematic review suggest that stroke is considerably frequent among patients with TBM. The reported frequencies of stroke in TBM and its clinical features vary across the studies and populations.
