Epidemiological analysis and risk factors of recurrent pulmonary tuberculosis in Western Zhejiang Province, China (2007–2024)
Nearly half of the recurrences occurred within 2 years after treatment completion, and recurrence-free intervals progressively shortened with repeated episodes. The older population (≥65 years) faced a dual burden, identified as the primary risk group for both recurrence and adverse retreatment outcomes. For the risk factors of recurrence and the success of treatment, it is necessary to further refine and explore the influencing factors.
