Failure, relapse and acquired drug resistance in new tuberculosis patients with isoniazid resistance without rifampicin resistance treated with the World Health Organization (WHO) new# regimen and in previously treated tuberculosis patients treated with the WHO re-treatment¶ regimen
Pooled event rate+ (95% CI) New Re-treatment Failure 11% (6–17%) 6% (2–10%) Relapse 10% (5–15%) 5% (2–8%) Acquired resistance 8% (3–13%) 3% (0–6%) Acquired resistance that is multidrug resistance 98% (92–99%) 71% (29–96%) For treatment failure, pooled event rates did not differ significantly between those given the new and those given the re-treatment regimen. For relapse, pooled event rates differed significantly between those given the new and those given the re-treatment regimen (p=0.02). For acquired drug resistance, pooled event rates differed significantly between those given the new and those given the re-treatment regimen (p=0.02). #: WHO standard 6-month regimen for new tuberculosis patients (2HRZE/4HR); ¶: WHO standard 8-month regimen for previously treated TB patients (2SHRZE/HRZE/5HRE); +: cumulative percentage associated with the outcome.
