Prognostic accuracy of time to sputum culture conversion in predicting cure in extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis patients: a multicentre retrospective observational study

Muhammad Abubakar et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the prognostic accuracy of sputum culture conversion (SCC) at various time points in forecasting cure among extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) patients. The results showed that SCC at 6 months of treatment performed better than SCC at 2 and 4 months in predicting cure. Factors such as patient's age, baseline sputum grading, and use of high dose isoniazid were significantly associated with early SCC.
