Objective Tuberculosis (TB) treatment success rates are high in China, but there are still a considerable number of cases who have unfavourable treatment outcomes (UTO). We aimed to determine the proportion of TB patients with UTO and to assess whether baseline characteristics that included glycaemic status [normal fasting blood glucose (FBG), transient hyperglycaemia and diabetes mellitus (DM)] and vitamin D status were associated with UTO. Method Prospective cohort study conducted between November 2015 and July 2016 at six clinics within routine TB services in Jilin province, where persons with TB were consecutively recruited. Data analysis was performed using the chi‐squared test and multivariate logistic regression. Results Of the 306 recruited TB patients, 96 (31.4%) had smear‐positive pulmonary TB, 187 (61.1%) had smear‐negative pulmonary TB and 23 (7.5%) had extrapulmonary TB (EPTB). Of these, 95 (31.1%) had normal blood glucose, 83 (27.1%) had transient hyperglycaemia and 128 (41.8%) had DM. 227 (74.2%) patients had vitamin D deficiency/severe deficiency. There were 125 (40.8%) patients with UTO of whom the majority were lost to follow‐up (57.6%) or not evaluated (28.8%). UTO was significantly associated with smear‐negative pulmonary TB (P = 0.009), EPTB (P < 0.001) and DM (P = 0.007). Conclusion The proportion of TB patients with UTO increased with smear‐negative pulmonary TB, EPTB and DM. TB programmes need to pay more attention to these issues and ensure intensive patient support to those at risk and early detection of DM.

“…Similar trends were also observed in our study though statistical significance was not reached. Advancing age is associated with diminution of immunity, a higher likelihood of comorbidities and a higher risk of previous TB treatment, all of which may contribute to a poor treatment outcome .…”

Objective: To investigate the influence of social, economic and housing variables due to Tuberculosis/HIV in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. Methods: This is an ecological and cross-sectional study that evaluates the independent effect of variables from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and United Nations Development Programme in the Annual Average Incidence Rate of Tuberculosis/HIV coinfection in the state of Alagoas from 2001 to 2016. We used Generalized Estimating Equation models implemented in SPSS software. Results: Among indicators related to cases of tuberculosis in people living with HIV in the municipalities of Alagoas, such as, the variables of household income per capita and percentage of households without piped water. A significant association in tests and measuring the quantification of important effects in the relationship among the strength association of each risk factors and the development of co-infection. Conclusion: The results can be consistent, allowing the identification of factors associated with the socioeconomic and socio-housing determination of TB/HIV co-infection in the state of Alagoas.
