Post-Tuberculosis Lung Disease (PTLD) is defined as chronic respiratory impairment due to previous pulmonary TB. Children recovering from pulmonary TB undergo ongoing respiratory health challenges, including more frequent respiratory symptoms, reduced lung volumes, and a threefold higher rate of pulmonary dysfunction compared to healthy children. These conditions could lead to long-term health consequences such as difficulties in performing daily activities. Pulmonary function impairment in PTLD includes approximately 10% of patients losing more than 50% of lung function. Adolescents who have undergone TB treatment often experience pulmonary function impairment and reduced physical capacity. This aims of this study is to analyze the correlation between type of tuberculosis, spirometry result, and functional capacity in adolescents with post-tuberculosis lung disease. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. This study is conducted at Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, starting in March until May 2026. Inclusion criteria including: adolescents (10-18 year old), and diagnosed with post tuberculosis lung disease by pediatrician, and capable of performing the 6MWT. The participants with post TB lung disease will undergo spirometry and functional capacity assessment using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Outcomes include spirometry result and functional capacity using 6MWT.
