Abstract

Introduction: One of the ways to assess the quality of the treatment of tuberculosis
is to analyze the treatment of outcomes the patients followed up. Our objective is
to describe the epidemiological aspects and the therapeutic results of tuberculosis
patients seen at the Joseph Raseta Befelatanana University Hospital Center.
Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive cohort study from January 1st, 2014
to December 31, 2017. Data were collected from the tuberculosis registry.
Results: We included 759 cases, the average age were 36.48 years. There was male
predominance a sex ratio of 1.62. The pulmonary forms tuberculosis predominated
(62.50%). Pleural (51.58%) and lymph node (16.49%) lesions were the most frequent
extra pulmonary forms. The prevalence of TB-HIV coinfection was 5.80%. The treatment
success rate for all forms was 84.46%, it was 90.50% for the smear positive
pulmonary tuberculosis. Age, type of tuberculosis and HIV status influenced treatment
outcomes (p <0.05).
Conclusion: The data on the therapeutic outcome of our study meets the objective
of the WHO. Other multicenter studies are necessary to answer certain questions
that were not clarified during our study in relation to the other factors influencing
therapeutic outcomes in Madagascar.
Key words: epidemiology–tuberculosis–treatment outcome–Madagascar
