MDR-TB Treatment & Prevention
Risk Factors and Mortality Associated with Default from Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Treatment
Completing treatment for multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) may be more challenging than completing first-line TB therapy, especially in resource-poor settings.
The objectives of this study were to (1) identify risk factors for default from MDR TB therapy (defined as prolonged treatment interruption), (2) quantify mortality among patients who default from treatment, and (3) identify risk factors for death after default from treatment.
