Core Tip	Of 1180 tuberculosis (TB) patients enrolled, overall treatment success rate was 893 (75.7%). Also, death, default, and treatment failure rates were 10.9%, 8.5%, and 1.5%, respectively. Treatment success rate were significantly higher among all human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative TB cases (79.3% vs 60.9%; P < 0.001). The difference was due to higher death rates among HIV-infected TB patients. Predictors of unsuccessful outcomes were; public facility-care, smear-negative or extrapulmonary TB, HIV co-infection, and receiving the 8-mo regimen.
