Cox regression outputs for the determinants of hepatotoxicity among 3537 tuberculosis patients were presented. The Hazard ratios with their corresponding P-values were presented for the predictors of hepatotoxicity among 3537 tuberculosis patients. Hepatotoxicity was associated with HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, severity of tuberculosis and chronic illnesses
