This study was carried out to determine factors affecting tuberculosis retreatment defaults in Nanded, India. All patients registered as tuberculosis retreatment cases (n = 107 excluding deaths during treatment) were interviewed by home visits. Their sociodemographic characteristics and treatment history were recorded and later compared with their treatment outcomes. Among the patients registered for re-treatment of tuberculosis (n = 112), 24 (21.4%) defaulted on treatment. The rate of default was 25.8% among those who had previously defaulted on treatment. Those who were employed, illiterate and alcoholics were 3.5, 3.5 and 3.4 times more likely to default, respectively, than others; these differences were significant.
本研究旨在确定影响印度南德地区结核病再治疗患者中断治疗的因素。通过家访对所有登记为结核病再治疗病例的患者（n = 107，不包括治疗期间死亡病例）进行了访谈。记录了他们的社会人口学特征和治疗史，随后将其与治疗结果进行比较。在登记进行结核病再治疗的患者中（n = 112），有24例（21.4%）中断了治疗。既往有中断治疗史的患者中断治疗率为25.8%。就业者、文盲和酗酒者中断治疗的可能性分别是其他人的3.5倍、3.5倍和3.4倍；这些差异具有统计学意义。
