Abstract:

In recent years, the prevalence and transmission of drug-resistant tuberculosis has posed significant challenges to global tuberculosis control, particularly rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis. This form of the disease is characterized by long treatment duration, difficulty in management, high costs, and numerous adverse reactions, which often lead to unfavorable treatment outcomes such as treatment interruption, treatment failure, and loss to follow-up, severely affecting treatment outcomes and quality of life. The authors systematically present the occurrence of adverse treatment outcomes among patients with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis patients both domestically and internationally, and discusses the factors that influence these unfavorable outcomes, thereby providing a reference for the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies aimed at improving the treatment effectiveness of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis patients.
