Differences between indicators were compared between the two groups, and factors influencing the susceptibility of diabetic patients to active tuberculosis were analyzed. A novel predictive model was constructed by combining inflammatory and lipid markers using R-Studio in a pioneering manner, and the efficacy of the predictive model was assessed using Calibration Curve and other methods in a multifaceted manner.Results: Univariate analysis showed that clinical markers including triglycerides, leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and platelets; inflammatory markers including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), platelet-to-neutrophil ratio (PNR), platelet-to-monocyte ratio (PMR), monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), aggregate inflammation systemic index (AISI), neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio (NMR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) showed significant differences. Specifically, triglyceride, PNR, PMR, MHR, and MLR are risk factors for the development of PTB in DM patients. The model for predicting DM-PTB using a combination of indicators has a high sensitivity (75.0%) and specificity (81.9%).Conclusion: Triglycerides, PNR, PMR, MHR, and MLR were identified as influential factors in the progression to PTB in diabetic patients. The combined application of these indicators provides an economical, convenient and direct method for early identification of diabetic patients susceptible to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.Keywords: inflammatory markers, diabetes mellitus, active pulmonary tuberculosis, influencing factors, predictive modeling
