Which of the following is FALSE regarding the exclusion criteria of SSOR (Regimen 3)?

The statement regarding the exclusion criteria for SSOR (Regimen 3) that indicates a creatinine clearance of greater than 30 mL/min is indeed false. In the context of the SSOR, the exclusion criteria are typically set to ensure patient safety and effective treatment management. A creatinine clearance greater than 30 mL/min often suggests that kidney function is within an acceptable range for the use of certain medications in tuberculosis treatment. Therefore, this would not typically be considered an exclusion criterion.

Conversely, a QTcF interval of 550 ms, a history of heart disease, and elevated AST/ALT levels greater than five times the upper limit of normal are legitimate concerns that would warrant exclusion. These conditions can increase the risk of serious side effects or complications during treatment, making them valid reasons to exclude a patient from certain regimens, including SSOR. This ensures that the chosen treatment does not exacerbate existing health issues and maintains patient safety throughout the regimen.
