Abstrakt:	Introduction: Tuberculosis remains a global health problem worldwide and the risk progression of Tuberculosis to Drug Resistant Tuberculosis is influenced by various factors. These include immunocompromised status, past history of tuberculosis, life style and nutritional level. Hence, identifying the population at risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is essential and may help in developing appropriate case-finding strategies. Therefore, the present study was designed to study the contributing risk-factors associated with Drug resistant Tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: In this prospective observational study, we assessed 189 Pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed patients during the period of 2 years at government recognized tertiary care centers. Data was collected from all these patients checked to investigate risk factors associated with Drug resistant tuberculosis development by multivariant analysis. Results: Of the 189 participants, 36 were diagnosed with drug resistant tuberculosis and 153 with drug sensitive tuberculosis. Factors associated with drug resistant tuberculosis include low-weight (OR 8.50; p = 0.0008430991), low-BMI (p = 0.0000527166), lower economic status (OR-2.1351; p = 0.048608696) and tobacco (OR-4.5192; p = 0.0023003189) were found clinically and statistically significant in development of drug resistant tuberculosis. Binary logistic regression was performed to ascertain the effects of various statistically significant factors. Drug resistant tuberculosis patients were 7.77 times more likely to be tobacco users than drug sensitive tuberculosis. Conclusions: Our study suggests that, there is a compelling and urgent need for increasing public awareness, initiating better nutrition and food programs, regular screening, and better management & control of MDR-TB.
