Factors associated with cure when treating tuberculosis in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2011-2014.

OBJECTIVE
to analyze factors associated with cure when treating tuberculosis (TB) in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 2011 to 2014.


METHODS
this was a cross-sectional study with data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN); logistic regression was used for data analysis.


RESULTS
of the 57,142 cases reported, 49,691 (86.96%) were included in the study; schooling ≥13 years (odds ratio (OR) 3.48; 95%CI 2.74;4.41) and residing in rural areas (OR 2.27; 95%CI 1.38; 3.73) were factors associated with a higher chance of cure; being male (OR 0.71; 95%CI 0.66;0.76) and brown skin color/race (OR 0.73; 95%CI 0.68;0.78) stood out as factors associated with less chance of cure.


CONCLUSION
social and economic determinants were identified that influence the treatment outcome, evidencing the need for social support and guaranteed access to health services.
