Data were collected from the Tuberculosis Information System and analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Results: Comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM) (p=0.003; OR=7.01) and distance to health facility (p=0.022; OR=4.44) were significantly associated with treatment success. In contrast, age, sex, occupation, comorbid HIV infection, and treatment status did not show a statistically significant association with treatment outcomes.
