Results: Study reports the result from 1993 adult participants from 10 villages of 2 sub-districts of district Jaipur. About 88.9% of studied participants knew that TB is an infectious disease and it spreads from TB patient to healthy person in close contact. Only 22.3% of participants knew DOTS is the name of treatment for TB. While, only 58.9% knew sputum is used for diagnosis of TB at health centres. Scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and backward classes social groups knew less than the mainstream General social group. The observed difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Logistic regression analysis estimated the relative contribution in knowledge status. Discussion: The knowledge of study participants on transmission of tuberculosis was similar to the knowledge of population in country wide study. They poorly knew that sputum is used for diagnosing the tuberculosis disease; socio-demographic inequity exists in this knowledge too. People from older age groups, underprivileged social groups and minority need extra educational activities.","PeriodicalId":70603,"journal":{"name":"结核病研究(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42744056","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}

The National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) in collaboration with TB Alert, India (TBAI) and Clin-ton Health Association of India (CHAI) had implemented a collaborative project to strengthen the network between the private practitioners and public healthcare facilities in New Delhi during 2019 and 2020. Methods: A study was conducted to understand the enablers and challenges encountered by them during the implementation of the project. This is a qualitative exploration of the “healthcare providers” on a project linking DR-TB patients in private sector with government health facilities. The process of data collection involved face-to-face in-depth interviews of healthcare providers, the Doctors mainly from private and public health facilities, the paramedical workers from general health system and paramedical from the project using an inter-view guide administered through a trained researcher. Results: The study findings revealed that all healthcare providers were completely aware of the DOST project in the health system, the model led to early diagnosis and initiation of quality treatment. There were no major challenges to the implementation of the project. The healthcare providers wish to have this project implemented for a longer duration.

In this case death before developing tuberculosis was deemed a competing risk because it al-tered the occurrence of the outcome of interest being time to development of tuberculosis from baseline. We used data from a randomized longitudinal clinical trial study called the “Tshepo” study. The “Tshepo” study was a 3-year randomized clinical study following 650 ART-naïve adults (69.4% female) from Botswana who initiated first-line NNRTI-based ART. Participants were assigned in equal proportions (in an open-label, unblinded fashion) to one of 6 initial treatment arms and one of two adherence arms using permuted block randomization. Randomization was stratified by CD4+ cell count (less than 200 cells/mm 3 , 201 - 350 cells/mm 3 ) and by whether the participants had an adherence assistant. Classical methods such as the Kaplan-Meier method and standard Cox proportional hazards regression were used to analyze survival data ignoring the competing event(s) which may have been in-appropriate in the presence of competing risks. The idea was to use competing risk models to investigate how different treatment regimens affect the time to the development of TB and compare the results to those obtained using the classical survival CD4, Hemoglobin and gender. Similarly, after accounting for competing risks the hazard ratio for treatment C was about 1.89 implying that the risk of developing TB amongst those taking treatment C was about 89% higher as compared to those taking treatment A. From the obtained results it was thus concluded that the standard Cox model of time to event data in the presence of competing risks underestimated the hazard ratios hence when dealing with data with multiple failure events it is important to account for competing events.","PeriodicalId":70603,"journal":{"name":"结核病研究(英文)","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70459414","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}

One of the key challenges in the programmatic management of DR-TB (PMDT) is the high rate of loss to follow-up (38% in the 2010 cohort). An urgent need for a shorter, more tolerable, less expensive treatment regimen exists. The aim of the operational study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the short treatment regimen among drug resistant TB. Methods: This is a prospective single-arm cohort study evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a shorter 9 - 11-month treatment regimen (9MTR) for rifampi-cin-resistant/multi-drug resistant TB (RR/MDR-TB) in 10 PMDT facilities. All eligible consenting adult patients with rifampicin-resistant TB were enrolled and received the standardized 9-month treatment regimen (9MTR), including injectables, with a follow-up after 12 months of treatment completion. Results: A total of 329 patients were enrolled from July 2015 to December 2016. At the 6th month post-enrollment, 256 (77.8%) of them had cul-ture-negative months of treatment. Conclusion: The 9-month treatment regimen had a high treatment success rate with a favorable safety profile. The loss to fol-low-up was reduced; however, it was still a challenge. The introduction of the 9MTR via operational research had a major impact on building national capacity and infrastructure for the programmatic adoption of a new regimen. Ten PMDT centers received training and experience, created diagnostic pathways, and active drug safety monitoring and management were built.","PeriodicalId":70603,"journal":{"name":"结核病研究(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70459148","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}
