  • *Including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, chronic liver condition, other immunocompromised conditions (including autoimmune disorders) and cancer.

  • †Variable with a limited number of observations were not included into Cox multivariable regression model.

  • ‡Interaction term between treatment regimen and resistance pattern used in the unadjusted and the adjusted analyses.

  • INJ, second-line injectable drugs; MDR, multidrug resistance, no additional resistance to FQs or injectables; FQ, fluoroquinolones; XDR, extensive drug resistance.
