Risk factors for mortality and multidrug resistance in pulmonary tuberculosis in Guatemala: A retrospective analysis of mandatory reporting
Background: Risk factors for mortality and MDR-TB in Guatemala are poorly understood. We aimed to identify risk factors to assist in targeting public health interventions. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of adults with pulmonary TB reported to the Guatemalan TB Program between January 1,...

We aimed to identify risk factors to assist in targeting public health interventions. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of adults with pulmonary TB reported to the Guatemalan TB Program between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2017. The primary objective was to determine risk factors for mortality in pulmonary TB. The secondary objective was to determine risk factors associated with MDR-TB.
