Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Treatment Outcome and Associated Factors at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital: A Ten-Year Retrospective Study

Abstract

This study indicated that nearly 23% of MDR/RR-TB patients had unsuccessful treatment outcomes and being older was significantly correlated with these outcomes. For better outcomes, it is recommended to strengthen combined treatment adherence interventions and evaluate treatment regimens and administration options. A prospective cohort study may be required to investigate the full range of potential causes of unfavorable outcomes.
