Objectives: Post-treatment recurrence remains a challenge for the global control of tuberculosis (TB). This study investigated longitudinal data on pulmonary TB recurrence rates and risk factors for recurrence among successfully treated smear-positive tuberculosis cases in China.Methods: Between 1st January 2009 and 31st December 2016 we evaluated 33 441 treatment-naive patients diagnosed with sputum-smear-positive, non-multidrug-resistant TB in Hangzhou, China. We included the data of 9828 patients with TB who were treated successfully.Results: A total of 4.9% of the cases were recurrent (479/9828), identified within a median observation period lasting 1565 days. Altogether, 51.1% (245/479) of the recurrences occurred within 1 year. The cumulative 2- and 5-year recurrence rates were 3.90% (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.3-4.5%) and 5.4% (95%CI 4.8-6.0%), respectively. Prolonged treatment (over 7 months) occurred in 64.7% (6363/9828), with a median treatment duration of 242 days (interquartile range 195-348 days). Male sex (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) (95%CI) 1.61 (1.30-2.00), p < 0.001), age 60 years old or older (aHR (95%CI) 2.03 (1.70 -2.44), p < 0.001), pulmonary cavity (aHR (95%CI) 1.51 (1.25-1.82), p < 0.001) and sputum positivity at 2 months (aHR (95%CI) 1.39 (1.05-1.81), p 0.02) all increased the risk of TB recurrence. Prolonged treatment was associated with reduced TB recurrence (aHR (95%CI) 0.73 (0.61-0.88), p 0.001).Conclusions: Recurrence remains a problem for successfully treated patients with sputum-smear-positive pulmonary TB, especially those with independent risk factors. Further analysis of prolonged treatment is required. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
