<![CDATA[Background: Treatment success is a key performance indicator for evaluating treatment activities and program management. This study aimed to examine factors associated with treatment success among patients with bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Methods: This analytical observational study used secondary data from 2,221 bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary TB cases recorded in the Bandung City Tuberculosis Information System in 2024. The variables evaluated were age, sex, treatment history, time to treatment initiation, and 2nd-month follow-up results. Bivariate analysis used the chi-square test, followed by multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Results: Among 2.221 patients, 2,072 (93.3%) achieved successful treatment outcomes, while 149 patients (6.7%) did not. Age (p=0.008), sex (p=0.021), treatment history (p=0.003), and 2nd-month follow-up results (p<0.001) were significantly associated with treatment success. The strongest association in the bivariate analysis was observed for 2nd-month follow-up results (OR=5.189; p<0.001). In the multivariate analysis, age (aOR=3,613, 95% CI=1,126-11,589), sex (aOR=0,701; 95% CI=0,494-0,993), treatment history (aOR=1,592; 95% CI=1,119-2,264), and 2nd-month follow-up results (aOR=5,004; 95% CI=3,445-7,268) were significantly associated with treatment success. The 2nd-month follow-up result showed the strongest association. Conclusion: Most patients achieved successful treatment outcomes. Age, sex, treatment history, and 2nd-month follow-up results were significantly associated with treatment success, whereas time to treatment initiation was not. The 2nd-month follow-up result showed the strongest association with treatment success.]]>
