The result reveal that the significant risk factor is treatment compliance (RR = 4.25, 95% CI = 2.007 to 9.021; p = 0.000), while the insignificant factors are the level of education (RR = 1.04; 95% CI= 0.504 to 2.151), income level (RR = 1.13; 95% CI= 0.432 to 2.973) comorbidity history (RR = 1.02; 95% CI=0.514 - 2.013), support from health centre staff (RR= 1.81, 95% CI= 0.969 - 3.385) and family support (RR= 1.94; 95% CI=0.986 - 3.821).
