Abstract

Objective

As the global health care commits to the ambitious goal of TB elimination, System for TB Elimination in Private Sector (STEPS) was introduced to provide appropriate standards of TB care to all patients. This study aims to assess the outcome of TB patients treated under STEPS programme in a Private hospital and find any significant factors in determining favourable and unfavourable outcomes.

Setting

Private Quaternary care hospital in South India.

Design

Retrospective study which included 163 patients diagnosed with Pulmonary and Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculosis from January 2020 to June 2022. Details like clinical profile, type and site of tuberculosis, modification of ATT regimen, adverse effects and outcomes were recorded.

Results

The study population included 62.6% males. 45.3% had Type-2 Diabetes mellitus. More than half of the cases were Extra-Pulmonary TB (52.2%) and 54.6% had microbiological confirmation. The Cure Rate in Pulmonary and Extra-Pulmonary TB cases were 76.7% and 79.2% respectively. 29 patients expired during TB treatment out of which 41.3% had renal failure. Advanced age and chronic kidney disease as a co-morbidity were significant in causing unfavourable outcomes.

Conclusion

Proper implementation of STEPS can help in 100% TB notification and effective care of TB patients.
