   <dc:description>Background&#xd;
Short all-oral regimens for Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (ShORRT) have been a turning point in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Despite this, access to drugs, stockouts, or adverse effects may limit the use of the recommended regimens.&#xd;
Methods&#xd;
Pragmatic non-randomized trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of a ShORRT strategy for the treatment of rifampicin-resistant Tuberculosis (RR-TB) at the Hospital Nossa Senhora da Paz (Angola). The strategy assigned participants to receive a bedaquiline (BDQ) or a linezolid-based (LZF) regimen supplemented with levofloxacin, clofazimine, and cycloserine for up to 9 months.&#xd;
Results&#xd;
One hundred and twenty-one participants with pulmonary RR-TB were treated with the ShORRT strategy; 69 received the bedaquiline- and 52 the linezolid-based regimen. Overall, 98 (81%) participants had successful treatment outcomes, which was significantly higher compared to a 20-month historical injectable-based regimen (successful outcome rate including cure and treatment completed: 53.7%) (p &lt; 0.001). No significant differences between treatment success rates (85.5% vs. 75.0%), treatment failure (0.0% vs. 1.9%), death (5.8% vs. 13.5%), or lost to follow-up (LTFU) (8.7% vs. 9.6%) were seen between the BDQ and the LZF-based regimen. Globally, 72 adverse events (AE) occurred in 36 (29.7%) participants. Eighteen (14.9%) of these were grade ≥3 and were more frequently observed in those receiving the LZD-based regimen (p = 0.02).&#xd;
Conclusion&#xd;
The ShORRT strategy with a nine-month BDQ- or LZD-based regimen supports the efficacy of shorter all-oral regimens for the treatment of RR-TB and presents real-world data from schemes without bedaquiline, nitroimidazole, or injectables.</dc:description>
