• Description:
  SETTING:
  
  A post-hoc exploratory analysis of a randomized, open-label clinical trial that enrolled 8053 participants from the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Spain.
  
  OBJECTIVE:
  
  To assess factors associated with non­completion of study follow-up (NCF) in a 33-month latent tuberculous infection treatment trial, PREVENT TB.
  
  DESIGN:
  
  Participants were randomized to receive 3 months of weekly directly observed therapy vs. 9 months of daily self-administered therapy. NCF was defined as failing to be followed for at least 993 days (33 months) from enrollment. Possible factors associated with NCF were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression via Cox proportional hazard model.
  
  RESULTS:
  
  Of 7061 adults selected for analysis, 841 (11.9%) did not complete study follow-up. Homelessness, young age, low education, history of incarceration, smoking, missing an early clinic visit, receiving isoniazid only, and male sex were significantly associated with NCF. Similar results were found in the North American region (United States and Canada) only. In Brazil and Spain, the only significant factor was missing an early clinic visit.
  
  CONCLUSIONS:
  
  Study subjects at higher risk for NCF were identified by characteristics known at enrollment or in early follow-up. Evaluation of follow-up in other trials might help determine whether the identified factors consistently correlate with retention.
