Abstract Background Globally still Tuberculosis remains a major public health problems and socio-economic issue in the 21st century. Ethiopia is among the countries most heavily affected by Tuberculosis, where it is the leading cause of morbidity, the third cause of hospital admission and the second cause of death. To improve Tuberculosis management and control, early detection of cases, effective treatment and persistent evaluation of treatment outcome are vital issues that should be taken into consideration. Hence, this study was designed to determine treatment outcomes and associated risk factors among TB patients registered and receiving anti-TB treatment at Adare general Hospital, Southern Ethiopia. Methods A five years retrospective study was conducted by reviewing medical records of TB patients at Adare general Hospital. A total of 1151 Tuberculosis patients’ cards registered from (September 2013 to August 2017) for treatment at TB clinic were reviewed. Data was coded, cleaned and entered into Microsoft Excel sheet then ported and analyzed using SPSS version 20 statistical soft ware. Logistic regression with odds ratios (OR) along with the 95% confidence interval was computed and interpreted. A P value <0.05 was declared as statistically significant. Result Among 1122 cases 620 (55.3%) were male, 748(66.7%) were from urban areas, 319 (28.4%) were smear positive, 352 (31.4%) were smear negative and 451 (40.2%) were extra pulmonary patients. Of the 1122 284 (25.3%) were cured, 753(67.1%) completed treatment, 29(2.6%) defaulted, 53(4.7%) died and 3 (0.3%) had treatment failure. The mean treatment success rate was 92.4%. The risk of unsuccessful TB treatment outcome was significantly higher among TB patients from rural areas (AOR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.27, 0.67); patients with extra pulmonary TB (AOR = 0.87, 95% CI; 0.67, 1.14), and HIV positive TB patients (AOR = 5.47, 95% CI; 3.47, 8.63) were more likely to have poor treatment outcomes as compared to their counter parts. Conclusion The treatment success rates of Tuberculosis, at Adare hospital was comparable to national health facility level coverage, but it should be maintained and strengthen further to attain tuberculosis related national and millennium goal.

Background Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major public health problems in Ethiopia. Determining treatment outcome of TB cases could help to understand the effectiveness of TB control efforts. The objective of this study was to assess TB treatment outcome and associated factors and determine the risk factors of death among TB cases who were on Directly Observed Treatment Short course (DOTS). Methodology We analyzed a retrospective data for TB cases who were on DOTS at Dilla Referral Hospital from July 2011- June 2016. The study population was TB cases with known HIV status and whose treatment outcome was evaluated at the Hospital. Data were entered, cleaned and analyzed using statistical package SPSS for windows, version 20. Result Out of 899 registered TB cases, 731 included in this analysis. Of these cases, 424 (58.0%) were male and 334 (45.7%) were in the age group of below 25 years. Treatment success rate of TB was 675 (92.3%) and death rate was 18 (2.5%). Treatment outcome showed statistically significant variation by HIV status (P < 0.001). HIV status of the TB cases and pretreatment weight were associated with TB treatment outcome. HIV status of the TB cases was associated with death of the TB cases (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) 5.0; CI 95%: 1.8–13.5). Conclusion TB treatment success rate found in this study was high. Patient’s weight and HIV status were associated with treatment outcome. Moreover, HIV status predicted death of TB cases. Cautious treatment follow-up and defaulter tracing mechanisms for TB cases with these risk factors were suggested.

Objective This study assessed the outcome of tuberculosis treatment and associated factors in Bale Zone, Southeast Ethiopia in 2017. Methods 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. Results 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. Conclusions 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).
