Results: In the social factor, the highest percentages were in the age groups 36 to 45 years (43%) and 46 to 55 years (25%). In terms of gender, 67% were male and 33% were female. Regarding marital status, 30% were married and 36% were living with a partner. In terms of origin, 52% were from the coast and 33% from the highlands. Regarding family support, 72% did not receive any support. In the economic factor, 49% were unemployed and 30% were self-employed. Regarding family income, 65% earned S/. 930 or less. In the cultural factor, 30% had a primary education, 48% had secondary education, and 55% practiced Catholicism. In terms of treatment abandonment, 27% of patients abandoned treatment due to coughing, and 23% due to weakness. In professional evaluations, 45% of patients were only attended by doctors, nurses, or nutritionists after more than a week. Additionally, 51% of the patients did not complete the evaluation with the full team of doctor, nurse, nutritionist, psychologist, and social worker. Conclusions: Treatment abandonment is linked to the fact that the doctor, nurse, nutritionist, psychologist, and social worker do not complete the full evaluation.
