Information on tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes would be useful for the improvement of the TB control program. The aim of the present study was to evaluate treatment outcomes of TB and identify associated factors in TB patients at the Jinka General Hospital (JGH), remote Zone of Ethiopia.
The result showed that 13.1% (154/1172) of the cases were cured, 60.9% treatment completed, 10.2% died and 9.1% were lost to follow-up. Thus, the overall treatment success rate was 74%. Male patients [AOR = 0.70 (0.52-0.93)] and HIV co-infected patients [AOR = 0.67 (0.45-0.98)] were associated with unsuccessful treatment outcomes.
结核病治疗结果的信息有助于改进结核病控制项目。本研究的目的是评估埃塞俄比亚偏远地区金卡综合医院（JGH）结核病患者的治疗结果，并确定相关因素。
结果显示，13.1%（154/1172）的病例治愈，60.9%完成治疗，10.2%死亡，9.1%失访。因此，总体治疗成功率为74%。男性患者[AOR = 0.70（0.52 - 0.93）]和合并感染艾滋病毒的患者[AOR = 0.67（0.45 - 0.98）]与治疗结果不佳相关。
