ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to examine the association of 14 variables with TB in respiratory patients. The variables included urban/rural, persons in 1200 sqft area, TB in family, crowding, smoking (family member), gender, age, education, smoking, workplace, kitchen location, cooking fuel, ventilation, and kerosene uses. Eight hundred respiratory patients were tested for sputum positive pulmonary TB; 500 had TB and 300 did not. An analysis of the unadjusted odds ratio (UOR) and adjusted OR (AOR) was undertaken using logistic regression to link the probability of TB incidences with the variables. There was an inconsistency in the significance of variables using UOR and AOR. A subset model of 4 variables (kerosene uses, ventilation, workplace, and gender) based on significant AOR was adjudged acceptable for estimating the probability of TB incidences. Uses of kerosene (AOR 2.62 (1.95, 3.54)) consistently related to incidences of TB. It was estimated that 50% reduction in kerosene uses could reduce the probability of TB by 13.29% in respiratory patients. The major recommendation was to replace kerosene uses from households with a supply of clean fuel like liquid petroleum or natural gas and rural electrification.
