Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients, either outpatients or inpatients, who are beginning treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have been on anti-tuberculosis treatment for more than 7 days at the time of inclusion will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to establish a cohort of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis at Avicenne Hospital in Seine-Saint-Denis, France, which has the highest incidence of the disease in the country. The study will recruit patients over a period of at least four years, followed by one year of monitoring, to gather data on treatment outcomes and patient characteristics. The goal is to identify factors associated with unfavorable treatment outcomes and develop strategies to improve tuberculosis control. This initiative is part of a broader effort to meet the WHO's targets for reducing tuberculosis incidence and mortality.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies and better control of tuberculosis, ultimately reducing its incidence and mortality rates.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in France, similar cohort studies in other regions have shown promise in understanding tuberculosis treatment outcomes.
