One thousand one hundred and seventy-five (1,175) treatment cards were reviewed in this way. The results of our study show that 3.1% of the patients fail to attend treatment sessions regularly and that multibacillary patients have more irregular attendance than paucibacillary patients. We have not observed any statistically meaningful difference between old and new patients as far as irregularity in attending multidrug therapy sessions is concerned. The second part of our research based on a questionnaire targeting a group of cases (36 patients who did not attend regularly) and a random control group (50 patients who attended treatment regularly but had missed at least one treatment) has shown that it is only for Item VI (\"Have you ever missed your appointment because you perhaps considered yourself cured?\") that a statistically meaningful difference emerges between cases and controls regarding the rates of affirmative responses (p < 0.05).","PeriodicalId":6905,"journal":{"name":"Acta leprologica","volume":"9 2","pages":"69-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18862529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agreement between the reports were based on the following diagnosis: \"indeterminate leprosy\", \"suggestive leprosy\" or \"no leprosy\". A great variation was observed in the interpretation of the histopathological examination. The three pathologists reported \"indeterminate leprosy\" respectively in 7.0%, 54.4% and 84.2%, of the cases studied. A kappa index of agreement between any two pathologists ranged from 0.08 to 0.32, showing poor agreement between observers. Agreement improved by pooling together the reports \"suggestive leprosy\" and \"indeterminate leprosy\". The three pathologists agreed in the results of 24 biopsies of the 27 classified as leprosy by any one of the three observers. Eight cases were considered as \"no leprosy\" by all pathologists. Higher agreement indices were obtained for positive and negative proportionate concordance between any two examiners. The implications of the variation in the diagnosis of indeterminate leprosy and early leprosy are discussed in the context of public health and case-management.","PeriodicalId":6905,"journal":{"name":"Acta leprologica","volume":"9 2","pages":"83-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18862532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
