Evaluating Predictive Factors Impacting Tuberculosis Treatment Outcomes

:Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that can cause infection in lungs or other tissues. It commonly affects lungs, but it can also affect other organs like spine, brain, or kidneys. TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The germs are spread through the air and usually infect the lungs, but can also infect other parts of the body. This work aims to provide valuable insights into the factors influencing Tuberculosis treatment success and could help improve patient management strategies and treatment protocols. The source of the data used for the analysis is the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital. The data on gender, age, length of stay in the hospital, year of admission, outcome of treatment, and diagnosis (type of Tuberculosis) of patient was obtained. The data is for the period of 12 years (2013-2024). In the attempt to carry out successful work on this study, Microsoft Excel and R-Programming were used to clean and analyze the data and to also plot some necessary graphs
