Abstract. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). One factor that complicates treatment is the presence of comorbidities in pulmonary TB patients, including diabetes mellitus (DM). TB patients with diabetes mellitus comorbidities (TB-DM) are known to often experience treatment failure. This study aims to analyze the relationship between patient characteristics and treatment success in DM-TB patients. This study was a cross-sectional study. The study subjects were type 2 DM-TB patients at RSP Dr. H.A. Rotinsulu for the period 2022-2023. The data used is in the form of secondary data taken from the medical record of DM-TB patients at RSP Dr.H.A. Rotinsulu. The study sample was taken using purposive sampling totaling 130 people. Characteristics include age, gender, and ownership of the National Health Insurance (JKN). The final result of treatment after 6 months cured or complete is categorized as successful. The relationship of patient characteristics with treatment success was analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that most of the type 2 TB-DM patients at RSP Dr. H.A Rotinsulu were adults (19-60 years) as many as 84 people (71.8%), male as many as 72 people (61.5%), had JKN as many as 100 people (85.5%), and succeeded in treatment as many as 70 people (59.9%). There was a significant association between age and treatment success (p < 0.05), but no significant association between sex and JKN ownership and treatment success (p > 0.05). The conclusion of this study is that adulthood is associated with the success of DM-TB treatment. Productive age tends to have high motivation and healing spirit that can increase the success of treatment.
