Fig 3. TB-diabetes comorbidity is associated with higher frequency of patient transfer to tertiary health care centers.

Fig 3

(A) Frequencies of total undesirable events upon ATT initiation (death and transference to tertiary health care centers) in patients with TB or TBDM. (B) Frequencies of total undesirable events upon ATT initiation between patients with TB or TBDM with severe TB disease according to a composite score. (C) Frequency of death or transfer to tertiary health care centers in TB and TBDM patients. (D) Multinomial logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and gender was used to test association between TBDM comorbidity and the transfer to tertiary health care centers (OR, Odds ratio; 95%CI, 95% confidence interval). In (A) and (C), data were compared using the Fisher’s exact test. In (B), data were compared using the chi-square test.
