RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective: Investigate factors associated to relapse, re-treatment by default and death among patients retreated by default for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, of both sexes, more than thirteen years old, living in the periphery of the city of São Paulo. Material and Methods: A nested case-control study not paired to a prospective cohort of pulmonary tuberculosis patients confirmed by culture, selected between 2001 e 2002 and followed up until 2006. Cases were patients who had relapses, re-treatment by default and death among patients retreated by default; controls were patients with cure without re-treatment. The data were obtained through application of structured questionnaires applied at the time of entry in the study and interview at home in 2004 and 2006, supplemented by information from the surveillance of TB and Information System Mortality of the Foundation SEADE. Relapse, re-treatment by default and death among patients retreated by default were taken as dependent variables and the variables of interest as independent. Crude and adjusted odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval were calculated by multiple logistic regression not conditional. Statistical significance was assessed by the likelihood ratio test with p <0.05. Results: The variables associated independently with relapse and adjusted for sex and age were: case of MDR-TB (OR=15.5; 95% CI: 1.2-200.5), co-infection with HIV (OR=9.3 ,95%CI: 1.6-54.1), diabetes (OR=1.6, 95% CI: 0.3-7.7), previous household contact with TB (OR=2.2, 95% CI: 0.8-6.2) and TB at home after patient studied (OR=3,8, 95% CI: 1,2-12,8). The variables associated independently with the retreatment of default and adjusted for sex and age were: case of MDR-TB (OR = 38.7, 95 % CI: 2.9-515.3), co-infection with HIV (OR=24.8, 95% CI: 3.8-163.0), alcohol abuse (OR=4.2, 95% CI: 1.1-17.5) and hospitalization to TB complications (OR=7.2, 95% CI: 2.5-21.0). The variables associated independently with death among patients retreated by default and adjusted for sex and age were: case of MDR-TB (OR=152.4, 95% CI: 9.8-237.4), co-infection with HIV (OR=29.0, 95%CI: 7.1-119.1), alcohol (OR=11.8, 95% CI: 1.3-102.8) and prison system (OR=5.0, 95%CI: 1.0-25.8). Conclusions: The results presented here show groups of higher risk among TB patients for re-treatment by relapse, treatment default and death among re-treated by default to be considered in the improvement of DOTS in our country.
