| Sumario: | The objective was to identify related factors, classify the time trend and identify areas with spatial association of abandonment of treatment for tuberculosis in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo. Ecological study; population composed of the cases notified between 2006 and 2017. The chi-square test was performed to identify related factors. For the time trend, the Prais-Winsten method was used to classify the time trend of the event and calculate its percentage of annual variation. To verify spatial association the G and Gi* techniques were used. In the period, 146 cases of abandonment of the disease treatment were notified; as risk factors, people without education, retreatment after abandonment, and previous failure were identified; as protection, new cases were identified by active search, no Tuberculosis-HIV co-infection, and no alcohol or drug use. The abandonment rate shows an increasing trend (APC=1.6%; 95%CI 0.02–3.48). The study evidences the increase of abandonment of treatment, contradicting the policies directed by the End TB Strategy. |
