Evaluation of treatment outcomes and associated risk factors in children with TB in Bangladesh
Most children with TB were successfully treated. LTFU was the leading reason for unsuccessful treatment outcomes in this cohort. Children with fever were less likely to have unsuccessful treatment outcomes, possibly because they were more intensely engaged in care than children without fever due to their presentation of symptoms. Continued research on pediatric TB presentation and treatment outcomes is essential for developing targeted strategies for early detection and treatment support.
