Table 3.

Adjusted Odds Ratios (aOR) for all significant and not significant parameters were calculated for MDR-TB versus Non-MDR-TB. Age ≤ 40 years, treatment episodes ≤ 2, previous treatment failure, close contact with TB patient, an impaired physical condition was independent risk factors for MDR-TB.
