The success rate of TB treatment in Semarang City in 2021 will reach 81.15%. Patients recovered reached 20.20%. Complete Treatment reached 60.95%. Failed treatment 0.15%. Patients Died reached 5.96%.

This study used secondary data sourced from the Semarang City Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) which was recorded regularly during 2021-2022. 4,627 TB patients who had minimally complete variables were entered into univariate analysis, crosstabulation and binary logistic regression. The results of the multivariate analysis showed a joint relationship between the factors that contributed to the success of TB treatment. Negative DM Status (AOR = 1.33; CI95% = 1.092-1.619), Standard Treatment Status (AOR = 1.767; CI95% = 1.235-2.529), Type Puskesmas Health Facility (AOR=3.778; CI95%=3.114-4.582), New Patients Based on Previous Treatment History (AOR = 1.592; 95% CI = 1.263-2.007) with Nagelkerke R Square = 13.2%. TB treatment success strategies in Semarang City need to be improved.
