- W2896094732 abstract "Background Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of public health challenges among immigrant refugees and their surrounding communities in developing countries. Evaluating the treatment outcome of TB patients is one of the key indicators to understand the performance of TB control program. Hence, this study aims to assess profile, treatment outcome and factors associated with unsuccessful outcome of TB patients treated under the TB control program among refugees and their surrounding communities (SCs) in Gambella Regional State, Ethiopia. Methodology Retrospective study was conducted in the health facilities of refugee and their SCs in Gambella Regional State from March 1 to May 30, 2017. Demographic and related data of all TB patients registered in TB Control Program between September, 2008 and October, 2017 in health facilities of refugee and the SCs was extracted using data extraction format. Eight years trend of TB, treatment outcome and factors associated with unsuccessful outcome among refugees and the SCs were computed using SPSS version 20.0 software. Result A total of 886 refugees and 3284 SCs TB patients, registered for anti TB treatment in the last eight years, were evaluated in the study. The trend of all forms of TB is progressively increasing among refugees contrary to the SCs in the course of the study period (X2 trend = 207.7; P<0.0001). Smear positive pulmonary TB (PTB+) was found to be predominant (57.6%) TB form in refugees while smear negative pulmonary TB (PTB-) (44.8%) is in the SCs (X2 = 185.834; P<0.0001). There was also significant difference in the treatment outcome (X2 = 170.915; P<0.0001). Mean treatment success rate was 74.2% and 88.1% for refugees and the SCs, respectively (X2 = 92.887; P<0.0001). The study also revealed that the risk of unsuccessful TB treatment outcome was significantly higher among refugee (AOR = 2.17; 95% CI: 1.69–2.77), retreated cases (AOR = 1.53; 95% CI: 1.07–2.17), patients aged between 35–44 years (AOR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.0–1.91), and greater than 44 years old (AOR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.28–2.44), and patients with extra pulmonary TB (EPTB) form (AOR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.04–1.73) compared to their counterparts. Patient coming from rural area (AOR = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.62–0.97), who are female (AOR = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.63–0.91) and TB/HIV non-infected (AOR = 0.63; 95% CI: 0.51–0.77) were more likely to be successfully treated. Conclusion The study confirmed that there was low treatment success rate among refugees compared to the SCs. Being refugee, retreated case, patient’s age ≥35 years old, EPTB form, gender, rural patient address and HIV status were predictor factors for unsuccessful treatment outcome. Hence, the study urges the need for strengthened TB prevention program among refugees with due consideration of identified predictor factors to prevent the potential effect of hosting refugee to the SCs and the nations at large." @default.
