Distribution of lung lesions according to levels of FPG, HbA1c and OGTT in TB patients. a Distribution of lung lesions according to the glycemic status of TB patients. b Scatter plots depicting the distribution of FPG, HbA1c and OGTT values in TB patients with 1, 2 or 3 types of lesions. Lines represent median and interquartile range values. The differences in median values (and IQR) of glucose, HbA1c and OGGT between groups were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons post-test. TB: tuberculosis, GMD: glucose metabolism disorders, DM: diabetes mellitus PDM: prediabetes, FPG: Fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin, OGTT: oral glucose tolerance test. One type lesion: cavity (CV) or infiltrate (IN) or fibrous tract (FT); 2 lesion types: CV + IN or CV + FT or IN + FT; 3 lesion types: CV + IN + FT. Number of lung lesions ≥4: considering the total number of cavities + total number of infiltrates + total number of fibrous tracts. Only comparisons with significant p-values are displayed (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
