Determinant Factors of Drop Out (Do) Among Multi Drugs Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR TB) Patients at Jakarta Province in 2011 To 2015
Research Report
ABSTRACT
The prevalence of Drop out (DO) among Multi Drugs Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR TB) patients increases every year in Jakarta
Province. The latest data of 2016 contains 367 drug resistant TB patients and 78 patients (21.2%) were DO. This study was aimed to
analyze the determinant factors of Drop Out (DO) among MDR TB patients in Jakarta Province between 2011 to 2015 based on risk
factors of age, sex, HIV status, sputum test, type of patient, number of previous treatments and number of drugs resistance. This study
was used secondary data that source from cohort registration e-TB Manager from DKI Jakarta Health Office with total 516 samples.
The design study was an observational cross sectional quantitative study. DO is a condition of patients who have been treated and
drop out of treatment for 2 consecutive months or more. The crude prevalence of DO among MDR TB patients was 44.6%. Trend of
DO among MDR TB was increased since 2011 to 2015. There was a further increase more than 10% in every year. The proportion of
DO among MDR TB in Jakarta was more than 64 years old (63.6%), male (47.3%), patients with status HIV negative (44.9%), patients
that never or ever consumed drugs less than 1 month (61.2%), and patients with >2 drugs resistance (45.7%). The results of this study
indicated that proportion of DO among MDR TB patients at Jakarta Province in 2011-2015 was high. Therefore, it is necessary efforts
that can decrease DO cases among MDR TB patients. This study was expected to be a reference for Jakarta Province Health Office
in implement P2TB Program implementation and reach target precisely.
ABSTRAK
Prevalensi Drop Out/ Putus Obat (DO) pada pasien Tuberkulosis Multi Drugs Resistant (TB MDR) terus meningkat setiap tahunnya
di Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Data terakhir di tahun 2016 tercatat sebanyak 367 pasien TB MDR dan 78 pasien (21.2%) berstatus DO.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor determinan kejadian Drop Out (DO) pada pasien TB MDR di Provinsi DKI Jakarta
pada tahun 2011 sampai 2015 berdasarkan faktor risiko umur, jenis kelamin, status HIV, hasil test sputum, tipe pasien, riwayat
pengobatan TB sebelumnya (jumlah), dan jumlah resistansi obat. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang bersumber dari data
register kohort e-TB Manager dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 516 sampel. Desain penelitian ini adalah studi kuantitatif observational
cross sectional. DO ada studi ini adalah kondisi pasien yang telah diobati dan putus pengobatan selama 2 bulan berturut-turut atau
lebih. Prevalensi DO pasien TB MDR pada penelitian ini yaitu 44.6% yang merupakan prevalensi kasar. Tren kejadian DO pada
penelitian ini cenderung mengalami peningkatan dari tahun 2011 hingga 2015 dan prevalensi DO terus melebihi angka 10% setiap
tahunnya. Proporsi DO pada pasien TB MDR di Provinsi DKI Jakarta tahun 2011-2015 banyak terjadi pada pasien dengan usia >64
(63.6%), jenis kelamin laki-laki (47.3%), status HIV negatif (44.9%), pasien yang belum pernah atau pernah menelan obat namun
kurang <1 bulan (58.8%), dan paling banyak pada pasien dengan jumlah resistansi >2 obat (45.7%). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan
bahwa proporsi kasus DO pada pasien TB MDR di Provinsi DKI Jakarta tahun 2011-2015 masih tinggi. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya

Kesehatan Provinsi DKI Jakarta dalam menjalankan program P2TB yang lebih baik dan tepat sasaran.

The high prevalence rate of DO which find in this
study can be attributed to the limitations of this study. In
this study, a considerable number of patients couldn’t be
included in the study because they did not met the inclusion
criteria and the exclusion criteria, so the proportion of
MDR TB patients at DKI Jakarta Province in 2011-2015
was high.
Table 2 was showed correlation between predisposing
factors and DO among MDR TB patients. The results
showed that the age group of 45-64 years had significant
association with DO of MDR TB patients with p = 0.042
and DO risk in MDR TB patients increased with age of
MDR TB patients. While gender and HIV status had no
significant relationship with DO among MDR TB patients.
