Description

The authors present findings from a prospective two-year observational study involving the introduction of a shorter regimen of latent TB infection treatment with rifapentine and isoniazid once weekly for 12 weeks (3HP) among Inuit patients in two Nunavut communities. The authors assessed treatment completion rates between the 3HP group and an historical control group and examined the safety of 3HP treatment and the factors associated with 3HP completion.
