Abstract:

This study investigated factors related to the retreatment cases of tuberculosis per recurrence and return after treatment being discontinued. It is a analytical cross-sectional study type of cases reported in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases in priority municipalities in the State of Maranhão,January 2005 to December 2010.To identify the association, a logistic regression model was used. Patients aged between 40 and 59 years (OR = 1.49, p = 0.029) with pulmonary clinical form (OR = 2.79, p = 0.016) presented a greater chance of recurrence. Additional treatments after abandonment were more likely in males (OR = 1.53, p = 0.046), aged between 20 and 39 years (OR = 1.65, p = 0.007), with less than eight years of the study (OR = 2.01, p = 0.037) and with alcohol dependence (OR = 1.66, p = 0.037), which presented a higher chance for another abandonment (OR = 5.96, p ˂ 0.001). These data reinforce the need for strategies aimed at this group, such as the expansion of supervised treatment, intensified case finding, post-discharge follow-up and actions of health education.
