Background: Study explores relationship between depressive disorder and adherence to DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy Short Course) and whether treatment of depressive disorder according to severity of depressive disorder should be an option to improve adherence to DOTS.Methods: Study included 182 newly diagnosed adult cases of tuberculosis who were on anti- tuberculosis therapy (ATT) as per program guidelines and were in third month under DOTS category I and category II therapy. Patients were screened for depressive and anxiety disorder using PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Modified ACTG baseline questionnaire was used to collect data about adherence and reasons for partial adherence.Results: Overall prevalence of depressive disorder amongst participants was found to be 37.9% and that of partial adherence (missed two or more than two doses) was 12.1%. Partial adherence was mostly seen in the first month, followed by third and second month of DOTS. Twenty- two percent patients with depressive disorder were partially adherent to ATT. Odds ratio suggests higher risk being partially adherent to ATT were greater in the participants who had depressive disorder.Conclusions: This study highlights the benefit of screening patients while diagnosing tuberculosis patients for depressive disorder, to improve disease outcome and reduce likelihood of MDR-TB.

Objective This study assessed the outcome of tuberculosis treatment and associated factors in Bale Zone, Southeast Ethiopia in 2017. Methods This was 5-year retrospective study of a health registry for tuberculosis patients, which was reviewed from 1 September 2011 to 30 August 2016. Data were analyzed, and descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors that were associated with tuberculosis treatment outcomes. Results Among the 7205 tuberculosis patients, 6325 (87.8%) had a successful treatment outcome and 880 (12.2%) had an unsuccessful outcome. The age groups ≤14 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.21), 15 to 24 years (AOR=1.61), 25 to 34 years (AOR=1.86), or 35 to 44 years (AOR=1.65); being treated at a hospital (AOR=1.63) or health center (AOR=2.52); pulmonary tuberculosis-positive (AOR=0.80); or extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients (AOR= 0.78) were the factors that were significantly associated with tuberculosis treatment outcome. Conclusions Public health facilities should pay special attention to the identified variables for tuberculosis prevention and control activities, especially focusing on supporting health workers who work at a health post (lowest level of Ethiopia’s three-tiered healthcare system).

Objectives.The aim of this study was to assess treatment outcome and associated risk factors among TB patients registered for anti-TB treatment at Enfraz health center, northwest Ethiopia.Methods. A five-year retrospective data (2007–2011) of tuberculosis patients (n=417) registered for anti-TB treatment at Enfraz health center, northwest Ethiopia, were reviewed. Tuberculosis outcomes were following the WHO guidelines. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20.Results. Among 417 study participants, 95 (22.8%), 141 (33.8%), and 181 (43.4%) were smear-positive, smear-negative, and extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients, respectively. Of the 417 study participants, 206 (49.4%) were tested for HIV. The TB-HIV coinfection was 24/206 (11.7%). Seventeen study participants (4.2%) were transferred to other health facilities. Among the 400 study participants, 379 (94.8%) had successful treatment outcome (302 treatment completed and 77 cured). The overall death, default, and failure rates were 3.4%, 0.5%, and 1.2%, respectively. There was no significant association between sex, age, residence, type of TB, HIV status, and successful TB treatment outcome.Conclusion. Treatment outcome of patients who attended their anti-TB treatment at Enfraz health center was successful. Therefore, this treatment success rate should be maintained and strengthened to achieve the millennium development goal.
