ABSTRACT
Introduction: The number of TB cases in Indonesia was increasing and it is estimated that one in five is extrapulmonary TB, is believed that there is a high mortality rate for extrapulmonary TB.
Aim: To assess difference in survival rates of HIV patients with pulmonary TB and extra pulmonary TB.
Results: Based on Fisher's Exact test, it was found that there was no statistical difference survival rates of HIV patients with pulmonary TB and extra-pulmonary TB at H. Adam Malik Hospital in 2015-2018 (p=0.303). The mean survival of HIV patients with extrapulmonary TB was 4.3; and pulmonary TB patients was 3.5. Overall mean survival is 4.5 years. It was concluded that HIV patients with pulmonary TB was 1.21 times more likely to die than HIV patients with extrapulmonary TB (HR: 1.21; 95% CI 0.76-1.92).
Conclusion: HIV patients with pulmonary TB had a lower survival rate than HIV patients with extrapulmonary TB but it was not statistically significant. The 50% survival rate for HIV patients with extrapulmonary TB is 4.3 years and for pulmonary TB is 3.5 years
