Tuberculosis (TB), at present, is the leading infectious etiology of death globally. In Pakistan, there are approximately 510,000 new cases annually, with more than 15,000 of them developing into drug-resistant TB, making the nation the fifth-leading country in TB prevalence in the world. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the focus has drifted away from TB screening, diagnostic and health awareness campaigns, and therapeutic measures endangering knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) towards TB in our population. We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study in Pakistan to assess the KAP of Pakistani residents attending the adult outpatient departments of public hospitals for any health-related concerns. Our sample size was 856 participants, with a median age of 22 years. Occupation-wise, those who were employed had better knowledge of TB than those who were unemployed [odds ratio (OR): 1.011; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.005-1.8005]. No differences were observed in TB knowledge between those adherents to common preventive practices versus those not adherent (OR: 0.875; 95% CI: 0.757-1.403). More than 90% of participants agreed that TB is dangerous for the community, and the majority opted against stigmatizing TB patients (79.1%). People who could read and write were 3.5 times more likely to have a good attitude towards TB compared to those who could not (OR: 3.596; 95% CI: 1.821-70.230; p=0.037). Similarly, employed subjects had better attitudes compared to unemployed ones (OR: 1.125; 95% CI: 0.498-1.852; p=0.024) and those with better knowledge of TB had a better attitude grade (OR: 1.749; 95% CI: 0.832-12.350; p=0.020). Age, occupation, and educational status were statistically significant among the two groups (p=0.038, p=0.023, p=0.000). Literate subjects had three times better practice towards TB than illiterate subjects (OR: 3.081; 95% CI: 1.869-4.164; p=0.000). Future education and awareness programs should target specific groups, such as the unemployed and illiterate, with practice-focused approaches. Our study outcomes can enable the concerned officials and authorities to take appropriate evidence-based steps to direct the efforts efficiently to curtail the burden of TB in Pakistan and to limit its progression, which could potentially lead our nation to become a multi drug-resistant TB endemic territory.
