XDR-TB outcomes
A higher proportion of favourable outcomes were also observed
in the subset of XDR-TB patients after extended treatment
with delamanid. Among these patients, 61.4% (95% CI
45.5–75.6%) experienced favourable outcomes (table 3), while
only 50.0% (95% CI 21.1–78.9%) of patients in the short-term
treatment group had favourable outcomes (table 3). As with
MDR-TB more broadly, mortality for the subset of XDR-TB
patients was reduced among those who received extended
treatment with delamanid. No deaths occurred among these
XDR-TB patients while three (25.0%) deaths occurred in the
short-term treatment group; this difference was statistically
significant (p,0.001)
