Abstract

The objective of this paper to assess whether there is any difference in the sputum conversion with respect to the covariates age, types of regimen. The event of interest is the sputum conversion during the treatments periods, i.e sputum at the base line is positive, and then turns to negative during the treatment period. The covariates considered in the study areAge of the subject, Weight of the subject at baseline, Regimen, Pre-treatment drug susceptibility pattern.
