Predictors of Smear-Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Southern Ethiopia: unmatched case control study
Keywords:
Predictors, pulmonary Tuberculosis, Southern Ethiopia.Abstract
Background and objectives: Ethiopia is among TB high burden countries and people in economically productive age group are more affected. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to identify factors associated with Smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis in Southern Ethiopia.
Methods: unmatched case control study design was used to enroll 221 smear-positive pulmonary TB patients and 442 hospital based controls from three governmental hospitals in the Gamo Goffa Zone from February, 2013 to May, 2014. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on risk factors.
