| dc.description.abstract | A prospective study was conducted to evaluate tubercu- losis treatment outcomes according to socio-economic status (SES) using different classifi cation criteria. Patients aged ⩾18 years under treatment for ⩽8 weeks were in- terviewed. Outcomes were classifi ed as successful (cure/ completed) or unsuccessful (default/failure/death). The overall treatment default ratio was 20.9% and the un- successful outcome rate was 24.1%. Unsuccessful treat- ment was associated with SES according to any criteria used, except for the defi nition of poverty line. Poverty seems to be hampering the achievement of the World Health Organization targeted 90% cure rate in develop- ing settings. | |
