Abstract EN
Tuberculosis (TB), a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is the main cause of death.
It disproportionally affects those living in the different regions of countries and within the region.
The aim of this study was to examine spatial variation of mortality and the risk factor of death on multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients treated in different MDR-TB hospitals of Amhara region.
The data for this study was used from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients’ record charts and analyzed using STATA software.
The result of this study shows that 61 (29.47%) of the patients died, and the rest, 146 (70.53%), of the patients were censored at the time of the study.
Out of 207 MDR-TB, 146 (70.53%) were males and 61 (29.5%) were females.
This study revealed that there was no heterogeneity for death in patients treated in different hospitals.
Older patients, therapeutic delay, alcohol use, any clinical complication previously not treated, HIV coinfection, and presence of any chronic disease were the risk factors that influenced the death of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients.
