Frequency of Post-Treatment Recurrence After Short-Course Regimens for Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background/Objectives: Short-course regimens (SCRs) are increasingly used to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB), but data on post-treatment recurrence remain limited. We aimed to estimate the frequency of post-treatment recurrence after SCRs and compare recurrence between SCRs and comparator regimens.
