Objective: To evaluate the patterns, clinical trend and outcome of registered TB cases from 1999 through 2011.
Design: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Setting: Tuberculosis Unit, Aseer Central Hospital, Abha, Saudi Arabia.
Method: Six-hundred and eighty registered TB records were reviewed.
Definitions, diagnostic criteria and treatment regimen of the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP) were used.
Result: Six-hundred and eighty registered TB records were reviewed.
Four hundred three (59.3%) were pulmonary TB and 277 (40.7%) were extrapulmonary TB.
In the period from 1999 to 2002, the pulmonary to extrapulmonary ratio was 4:1.
However, in the subsequent years, this ratio has changed to 1:1.
During the study period, no significant difference in sex was found; the annual defaulter rate and average cure rate were 12% and 75%, respectively.
The best indicator of cure was weight gain.
Overall, the mortality rate was approximately 18% (<10 years and >60 years).
TB of the Central Nervous System (TB-CNS) showed the highest mortality rate, 211 (31%).
Conclusion: Cure rate is comparable to worldwide figures.
Trends towards more TB extrapulmonary cases were observed.
The highest mortality rate was reported among TB-CNS.
Prospective randomized controlled study is recommended to evaluate the reasons behind the change
