Reports on the association of factors of childhood tuberculosis with treatment outcome are limited.<\/div>\n<div class=\"volume\"><strong> Objectives: <\/strong>To determine the epidemiology and association of factors of childhood tuberculosis with successful treatment outcome in some of the barangays of Quezon City.<\/div>\n<div class=\"volume\"><strong> Methodology: <\/strong> This is a retrospective cohort study done at Barangay Commonwealth Health Centers including children 0-14 years old with tuberculosis registered and treated from January 1, 2013 to July 15, 2015. Socio-demographic and clinical data were obtained. Patient profile data, treatment cards and medical records were the data sources<\/div>\n<div class=\"volume\"><strong> Results:<\/strong> A total of 267 new cases of childhood TB were analyzed. The treatment success rate was 98% (97% completed treatment, 1% cured). The rate of poor treatment outcome including default cases was 2%. There were no reported deaths or treatment failure. On univariate analysis, patients with weight gain (p=0.001) had an odds ratio of 8.085 (95% CI:1.310-49.900) to have a successful treatment outcome. On multivariate analysis, weight gain was significantly associated with treatment success (p=0.042; OR=12.5, 95% CI: 1.091, 143.244). None of the socio-economic and clinical factors studied was associated with successful treatment outcome.<\/div>\n<div class=\"volume\"><strong> Conclusion:<\/strong> Weight gain is a factor of a successful treatment in childhood tuberculosis. Children who gained weight after treatment are more likely to have a successful treatment outcome.<\/div>\n<div><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.56964\/pidspj20171802005\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.56964\/pidspj20171802005<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"volume\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pidsphil.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/jo53_ja05.pdf\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">View Full Article in PDF format<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journal 2017 Vol.18 No.2 Association of Factors with Successful Treatment Outcome of Childhood Tuberculosis in Barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City, Philippines: A Two-Year Retrospective Study Christine N.
