Comparative Treatment Outcomes of Shorter Regimen in Modified All Oral Regimen with Injectable in Patients Treated for Rifampicin-resistant/Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis in Tanzania
All-oral bedaquiline regimens demonstrated higher treatment success and lower 12-month posttreatment mortality, while injectable regimens had faster culture conversion at month 2, but poorer overall outcomes, supporting the use of all-oral treatment.
