Incidence and predictors of mortality among persons with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis and HIV in Mozambique.

ABSTRACT: Rifampicin-Resistant Tuberculosis (RRTB) is associated with a high risk of mortality during treatment. This study aims to describe the baseline characteristics associated with incidence of mortality in persons with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (P-RRTB) in a rural setting in Mozambique. We analyzed cohort data collected retrospectively from paper medical files and electronic medical records of P-RRTB who were routinely treated at Carmelo Hospital of Chokwe (Gaza province, Mozambique), from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2020. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and adjusted Cox regression analyses were used to model the time to death and associated factors of mortality. Overall, 151 P-RRTB contributed to a total number of 1812 person-months (PM) of treatment follow-up. The overall mortalit
