The SCALE (Sustainable Community-wide Active case-finding for Lung hEalth) survey estimated TB prevalence in Blantyre City, Malawi, and recorded previous engagement with TB services.OBJECTIVE: To explore local variation in the prevalence of ever-testing for TB in Blantyre and investigate potential socio-economic drivers.DESIGN: We fit a mixed-effects model to self-reported prior TB testing from survey participants across 72 neighbourhood clusters, adjusted for sex, age and HIV status and with cluster-level random intercepts. We then evaluated to what extent cluster-level variation was explained by two alternate poverty indicators.RESULTS: We observed substantial variation between clusters in previous TB testing, with little correlation between neighbouring clusters. Individuals residing in less affluent households, on average, had lower odds of having undergone prior testing. However, adjusting for poverty did not explain the cluster-level variations observed.CONCLUSION: Despite a decade of increased active case-finding efforts, access to TB testing is inconsistent across the population of Blantyre. This likely reflects health inequities that also apply to TB testing in many other settings, and motivates collection and analysis of TB testing data to identify the drivers behind these inequities.","PeriodicalId":14411,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease","volume":"28 2","pages":"99-105"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139671742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the Pa-based regimen for HDR-TB treatment from the perspective of the healthcare sector in the United States.METHODS: A lifelong decision-analytic model was constructed to simulate potential treatment outcomes of 1) the bedaquiline-Pa-linezolid (BPaL) regimen, and 2) the bedaquiline-linezolid (B-L) based regimen in a hypothetical cohort of adult patients with HDR-TB. Primary model outputs were TB-related direct medical costs, qualityadjusted life-years (QALYs) and incremental cost per QALY gained (ICER).RESULTS: In the base-case analysis, the BPaL regimen gained 3.0054 QALYs and saved costs by USD60,433 when compared to the B-L-based regimen. In the probabilistic sensitivity analysis, the BPaL regimen gained higher QALYs at a lower cost in 80.3% of the time, and gained higher QALYs at a higher cost with ICER less than the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold (100,000 USD/QALY) in 19.0% of the simulations. The probability of the BPaL regimen being cost-effective was higher than the B-L-based regimen throughout the variation of WTP.CONCLUSION: BPaL therapy is likely the cost-effective option for HDR-TB treatment from the US healthcare sector perspective.","PeriodicalId":14411,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease","volume":"28 2","pages":"81-85"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139671744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emphasis on post-TB lung disease and other sequelae of TB is good but a public health approach to TB is morally ambitious??? 重视结核病后肺部疾病和其他结核病后遗症是好事，但对结核病采取公共卫生方法在道义上是否雄心勃勃？
