RESULTS: About 75.8% (47 respondents) successfully treated and 24.2% (15 respondents) decided unsuccessful. There was a significant association between diabetes status (p = 0.014), anemia status (p = 0.035), knowledge of TB (p = 0.009), knowledge of COVID-19 (p = 0.014), and family history of COVID-19 exposure (p = 0.011) to the treatment outcomes of pulmonary TB treatment during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: Associated factors to the outcome of treatment for pulmonary TB patients undergoing TB treatment during a pandemic included diabetes mellitus status, anemia status, knowledge of TB, knowledge of COVID-19, and family history of exposure to COVID-19.
