Background: Tuberculosis is a prevalent disease and has a high global mortality rate. In Peru, due to its high prevalence, prevention and treatment are national objectives. Drug consumption is a risk factor for relapse for patients who have initiated tuberculosis treatment (12), of which, cocaine and marijuana lead the illegal drugs consumed by Peruvian population. Objective: This study determines the present evidence of the association between the cocaine consumption and the outcome of the treatment for tuberculosis. Methods and Materials: Systematic review searching for the available literature through databases as PubMed, Ovid, EBSCOhost and Lilacs as well as the academic searcher Google Scholar using structured search terms and a meta-analysis through STATA 16. Results: We included 5 articles. The association between crack or cocaine consumption and loss to follow up or non-completion of treatment showed an OR=2, 73 (95% CI=1,33-5,61). The active tuberculosis subgroup showed a strong association between crack or cocaine consumption and loss to follow up (OR=7,029; 95% CI=2,66-18,57), while the latent tuberculosis subgroup showed a nonsignificant association with non-completion of treatment (OR=1,26; 95% CI=0,77-2,05). Conclusions: Consumption of crack or cocaine is associated with loss to follow up or non-completion of tuberculosis treatment. This association is nonsignificant in the latent tuberculosis subgroup.
