The death rate of TB in Indonesia reaches 140,000 people per year. In 2020, the highest TB cases in Padang are in the Andalas Public Health Center, which is 106 cases. The spread of TB is closely related to the environmental conditions such as the physical condition of the house. This study aims to determine the environmental risk of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Methods: This research was observational research with case-control study design. This research was conducted at Andalas Public Health Center (PHC) on Dec 24, 2022 – Feb 16, 2023. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with ratio 1:1, namely 39 houses with pulmonary tuberculosis and 39 houses without pulmonary tuberculosis. Data collection used observation and interview technique. Independent variable in this research is occupancy density, humidity, ventilation to area ratio, and house lighting and pulmonary tuberculosis as dependent variable. Research instrument in the form of questioner, observation sheet, luxmeter, thermo-hygrometer, and roll-meter. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate, and multivariate.

Results: The results showed that occupancy density (OR: 0,267 CI95% 0,051-1,387), humidity (OR:0,661 CI 95% 0,145-3,013), ventilation to area ratio (OR: 0,042 CI 95% 0,007-0,232), and house lighting (OR: 0,183 CI 95% 0,044- 0,759), were related to pulmonary tuberculosis incidence. The multivariate results showed that there was a relationship between house lighting and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis after controlling of confounding variables.

Conclusions: Occupancy density, humidity, ventilation to area ratio, and house lighting, have been proven to be related to pulmonary tuberculosis incidence. House lighting was the most influential factor of pulmonary tuberculosis in Andalas Public Health Center Working Area. Healthy house needs to encourage to reduce the spreading and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Dawit Gelgelo — 2025-02-06

Background: In Ethiopia Tuberculosis is the leading causes of morbidity. The incidence of all forms of TB in the Ethiopia was 379/100000 population which is the second on the Africa continent. There are high discrepancies in the result of treatment outcome being reported from the different region of the country with frequent poor treatment outcomes particularly from the southern Ethiopia. Thus, this study aims to assess tuberculosis treatment outcomes and associated factors among tuberculosis patients in Bule Hora University Teaching Hospital, Southern Ethiopia

Methodology: Facility based retrospective cross-sectional document review of 380 patients was conducted to assess the Tuberculosis treatment outcome and associated factors from tuberculosis patients' document registration. Data was entered into the computer using Epi-data software version 3.2 and exported to SPSS software version 25 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate analysis with 95% confidence intervals were employed to infer associations between the independent and dependent variables.

Result: The documents of 380 tuberculosis patients were reviewed. Among this patients, 87.9% were successfully treated where as 12.1% of the patients were unsuccessfully treated. From this, 53.4% and 34.5% patients were cured and completed the treatment, respectively, where as 3.7%, 5.8%, and 2.6% patients were died, treatment failure, and defaulted, respectively during the follow-up.

Conclusion: The Tuberculosis treatment outcome for the present study was 87.9%, which was lower than national target which was >96% and global target >90% which required improvement. Among 12%.1 of unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes, 6.8% of them were HIV positive. The higher unsuccessful Tuberculosis treatment outcomes among HIV positive patients suggests the need to strengthen adherence education and supervision.
