[Background: Mental health problems in people with tuberculosis (TB) have been associated with negative outcomes. Some health care centers in Peru use an evaluation of mental health status proposed by the Dirección de Prevención y Control de Tuberculosis (DPCTB). Aim: To evaluate the association between the mental health evaluation indicators at the beginning of treatment and the outcome of people treated with TB. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study in three health care centers from the district San Juan de Miraflores. The mental health evaluations and outcomes were reviewed from the medical records and people with TB registration in each health care center. The mental health evaluations included variables like depression and substance abuse. The outcome was considered positive (cured) and negative (failure, dropout, death or change of treatment scheme). Results: A significant association was found between a negative outcome and depressive symptoms (RR: 2.39, 95%CI: 1.19-4.78), substance abuse (RR: 2.58; 95%CI: 1.31-5.09) and unprotected sexual intercourse (p = 0.04). The multivariate analysis found association with depressive symptoms (RR: 2.19, 95%CI: 1.10-4.35) and substance abuse (RR: 2.19, 95%CI: 1.14-4.20). Conclusion: Depressive symptoms and drug use were associated with negative outcomes in TB treatment. Intervention studies focusing on these factors should be evaluated to improve TB treatment success.
