CI = confidence interval.

*Variables included in the univariate analysis were shown in Table S1; All variables with a P value<0.2 in the univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis; 472 MDR-TB patients and 44 XDR-TB patients were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis. A P value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

**n = 477 for MDR-TB; n = 44 for XDR-TB.
