Keywords:

This research was a retrospective study. The objective was to study the factors Associated with Success of Treatment among New Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients, Phuket in fiscal year 2016-2020. The population were the patients who were diagnose as new pulmonary tuberculosis with the test results bacteriologically confirmed (B+) and Clinically diagnosed (B-) and also registered for a treatment during 1 October 2015 to 30 September 2020. There were total 3,832 patients that collected data using a record from database. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics Chi-square test and Multiple logistic regression.
The study found that new pulmonary tuberculosis patients had 87% of success rate. When testing factors associated with treatment success, patients aged over 50 years were only 0.28 times more likely to have treatment success than those younger than
25 years (95 % CI = 0.18 – 0.45). Patients with pre-treatment weight of 40 kg or more patients were 1.6 times more likely to be successful in those who weigh less than 40 kg (95% CI = 1.15 – 2.22). Patients with comorbid disease have a chance of successful treatment only 0.24 times for those without co-morbidity (95% CI = 0.19 – 0.29) and patients with bacterial density 3 positive (3+) or greater at initiation of treatment was only 0.63 times more likely to succeed in treatment for those with less than 3 positive (3+) bacteria (95% CI = 0.49 – 0.79).
