Abstract

Objective: to analyze the factors associated with the abandonment of pulmonary tuberculosis treatment in Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso, Brazil, from 2008 to 2017.
Method: a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study, of historical series. The data were collected from the Notifiable Diseases Information System. A descriptive analysis was carried out and, in order to verify associations, the Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests were used in cases with frequencies below five. The Odds Ratio and 95% confidence intervals were estimated.
Results: there were 584 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, of which 8.56% abandoned the treatment. The profile of the abandonment cases was as follows: male (62%), adults (94%), brown-skinned (54%), elementary school (48%), urban area (90%), and who underwent Directly Observed Treatment (56%). Age group and DOT were factors associated with treatment abandonment.
