Treatment outcomes of pulmonary TB in adults in Indonesia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Achieving the goal of Ending TB requires a treatment success rate of ≥90%, a challenging target for Indonesia. To understand outcomes and associated factors for unfavourable outcomes, we analysed prospective multicentre study data from 2017 to 2020 involving drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB) and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) treatment adult patients.

Methods

This study focused on bacteriologically confirmed participants based on Xpert MTB/RIF or culture results. We analysed participants with available treatment outcomes - cured, completed, failed, dead, and lost to follow-up (LTFU) - excluding withdrawn or transferred. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with unfavourable outcomes.

Results

Among 328 bacteriol
