Positive 2-month sputum culture 4.73 (2.85–7.85) 2.80 (1.64–4.77) 4.73 (2.85–7.85) 2.61 (1.52–4.47)

Bilateral disease (2-month) 2.90 (1.57–5.36) NA 2.90 (1.57–5.36) NA
Bilateral disease (EOT CXR) 2.79 (1.66–4.69) NA
*

EOT CXR data excludes treatment failure cases and missing CXR or culture data.

Analyses not done.

P value = 0.02 for comparison of subjects with cavity on early CXR vs. subjects with persistent cavity on CXR.

EOT = end of treatment; CXR = chest radiograph; HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval; NA = not available; TB = tuberculosis.
