This study assessed the outcome of tuberculosis treatment and associated factors in Bale Zone, Southeast Ethiopia in 2017.
This was 5-year retrospective study of a health registry for tuberculosis patients, which was reviewed from 1 September 2011 to 30 August 2016. Data were analyzed, and descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors that were associated with tuberculosis treatment outcomes.
Among the 7205 tuberculosis patients, 6325 (87.8%) had a successful treatment outcome and 880 (12.2%) had an unsuccessful outcome. The age groups ≤14 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.21), 15 to 24 years (AOR=1.61), 25 to 34 years (AOR=1.86), or 35 to 44 years (AOR=1.65); being treated at a hospital (AOR=1.63) or health center (AOR=2.52); pulmonary tuberculosis-positive (AOR=0.80); or extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients (AOR= 0.78) were the factors that were significantly associated with tuberculosis treatment outcome.
Public health facilities should pay special attention to the identified variables for tuberculosis prevention and control activities, especially focusing on supporting health workers who work at a health post (lowest level of Ethiopia's three-tiered healthcare system).
本研究评估了 2017 年埃塞俄比亚东南伯勒地区结核病治疗的结果及其相关因素。
这是一项针对结核病患者健康登记的 5 年回顾性研究，从 2011 年 9 月 1 日至 2016 年 8 月 30 日进行了审查。对数据进行了分析，并进行了描述性和逻辑回归分析，以确定与结核病治疗结果相关的因素。
在 7205 例结核病患者中，6325 例（87.8%）治疗结果成功，880 例（12.2%）治疗结果失败。年龄组≤14 岁（调整优势比 [AOR]=2.21）、15 至 24 岁（AOR=1.61）、25 至 34 岁（AOR=1.86）或 35 至 44 岁（AOR=1.65）；在医院（AOR=1.63）或卫生中心（AOR=2.52）接受治疗；肺结核阳性（AOR=0.80）；或肺外结核患者（AOR=0.78）是与结核病治疗结果显著相关的因素。
公共卫生机构应特别关注已确定的结核病预防和控制活动的变量，特别是要支持在卫生站（埃塞俄比亚三级医疗体系中最低级别的卫生机构）工作的卫生工作者。
