Time to reoccurrence of tuberculosis and its predictors among adult HIV/AIDS patients on ART at public hospitals in East and Horro Guduru Wollega zones, West Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study
The median survival time among adult HIV patients was higher in the first 80 months of ART initiation and it decreased over the time of ART. Sex, occupational status, marital status, low CD4 count, viral load, advanced WHO clinical stage, reoccurrence of other opportunistic infections, poor adherence to TB treatment, and facing multidrug-resistant TB were independent predictors for reoccurrence of TB among HIV-positive adults.
