Abstract

Objective: To describe the profile of cases of abandonment of tuberculosis treatment from 2010 to 2020 in the city of Cuiabá - MT. Methods: Epidemiological analysis of observational descriptive nature, retrospective cross-sectional with data obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) between 2010 and 2020. A total of 6948 cases of tuberculosis were described, among which 824 were treatment abandonment. Results: Among the 6948 cases, the prevalence of dropout was about 11.85%, equivalent to 6.8 dropouts per month, with the highest frequency in the year 2014 of 128 patients, about 15.53%. There was a predominance of males (70.87%), aged 25 to 34 years (28.03%), brown race (54.86%), with incomplete primary education (41.14%). Supervised treatment (42.48%) was performed in most cases. In most cases the treatment used was the first choice, such as rifampicin (52.43%), isoniazid (52.06%), pyrazinamide (51.33%) and ethambutol (50.36%). Conclusion: The results confirm large variations in treatment abandonment rates over the years, configuring as predominant factors: male gender, brown race and incomplete elementary school. Considering that adherence to treatment is essential to achieve the goal proposed by the Ministry of Health, it is essential to know the profile of patients who abandon tuberculosis treatment so that possible therapeutic adjustment can be a strategy to minimize abandonment.
