patients who dropped out of treatment as much 27 people, while controls were subjects with MDR-TB

by looking at the Odds Ratio value. The result showed that knowledge (OR = 5.28, 95% CI = 1.410347–
29.19908), drug side effect (OR = 32.324332, 95% CI = 4.732715–1353.07), family support (OR = 5.01875,
