According to the quality of the evidence, 80% (8) are of moderate evidence and 20% (2) of high evidence. These are mostly cohort studies. 80% (8) and 20% (2) of the articles are systematic reviews Results: According to the results obtained, 90% (n=09) show Diabetes Mellitus as a risk factor for failure of Tuberculosis treatment and 10% (n=01) of the reviewed evidence indicate that Diabetes is not considered a risk factor in treatment failure in patients with multidrug-resistant TB.
