BackgroundSuccessful tuberculosis (TB) treatment is necessary for disease control. The World Health Organization (WHO) has a target TB treatment success rate of ≥90%. We assessed whether the different types of unfavorable TB treatment outcome had different predictors.MethodsUsing data from Regional Prospective Observational Research for Tuberculosis-Brazil, we evaluated biological and behavioral factors associated with each component of unsuccessful TB outcomes, recently updated by WHO (death, loss to follow-up [LTFU], and treatment failure). We included culture-confirmed, drug-susceptible, pulmonary TB participants receiving standard treatment in 2015–2019. Multinomial logistic regression models with inverse probability weighting were used to evaluate the distinct determinants of each unsuccessful outcome.ResultsOf 915 participants included, 727 (79%) were successfully treated, 118 (13%) were LTFU, 44 (5%) had treatment failure, and 26 (3%) died. LTFU was associated with current drug-use (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 5.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.0–9.4), current tobacco use (aOR = 2.9; 95% CI, 1.7–4.9), and being a person with HIV (PWH) (aOR = 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1–3.5). Treatment failure was associated with PWH (aOR = 2.7; 95% CI, 1.2–6.2) and having diabetes (aOR = 2.2; 95% CI, 1.1–4.4). Death was associated with anemia (aOR = 5.3; 95% CI, 1.4–19.7), diabetes (aOR = 3.1; 95% CI, 1.4–6.7), and PWH (aOR = 3.9; 95% CI, 1.3–11.4). Direct observed therapy was protective for treatment failure (aOR = 0.5; 95% CI, .3–.9) and death (aOR = 0.5; 95% CI, .2–1.0).ConclusionsThe treatment success rate was below the WHO target. Behavioral factors were most associated with LTFU, whereas clinical comorbidities were correlated with treatment failure and death. Because determinants of unsuccessful outcomes are distinct, different intervention strategies may be needed to improve TB outcomes.
