الملخص EN
We present, for the first time, an evaluation of treatment outcomes in a cohort at a TB referral centre in the Central Region of Ghana.
Of the 213 clients placed on DOTS, 59.2% (126/213) were sputum smear-positive.
An overall cure rate of 90.2% (51.6% cured + 37.6% completed) and a death rate of 8.5% (18/213) were estimated.
Of the number of clients who died, 5.7% (12/213) were males (χ2 = 2.891, p=0.699; LR = 3.004, p=0.699).
Deaths were only recorded among clients who were > 19 years old (χ2 = 40.319, p=0.099; LR = 41.244, p=0.083).
Also, 0.9% (2/213) was lost to follow-up, while 1.4% (3/213) had treatment failure.
In total, 13.6% (7.0%, 15/213 males, and 6.6%, 14/213 females) of clients who were placed on DOTS were HIV seropositive.
Ages of 40–49 years had the highest number, 13/213 (6.1%), infected with HIV, though the difference among the remaining age groups was not statistically significant (χ2 = 9.621, p=0.142).
Furthermore, 7.0% (15/213) had TB/HIV coinfection.
Out of them, 9 were cured and 5 died at home, while 1 had treatment failure.
Tuberculosis/HIV infection prevention advocacy and interventions that address sociodemographic determinants of unfavourable treatment outcomes are urgently required to augment national efforts towards control.
