| Abstract: | Background Tuberculosis treatment failure and death rates are low in the Western Pacific Region, including Vietnam. However, failure
or death may also occur among patients who did not complete treatment, i.e. reported as default or transfer-out. We aimed
to assess the proportion failures and deaths among new smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients with reported default
or transfer-out. |
