Therapy should be given daily for the first 2 months, then daily when feasible. • Meaningful and culturally appropriate patient engagement, education and support are critical for achieving successful TB treatment. • TB clinicians and programs should provide comprehensive, patient-centred care that uses incentives and enablers to ensure optimal treatment adherence. • All jurisdictions should have capacity to provide daily, in-person, supportive care for people with TB. Support should be tailored to individual needs and may include directly observed therapy. • Regardless of insurance coverage or immigration documentation, people with active TB should be provided with TB medications and appropriate treatment support free of charge. • People at high risk for TB recurrence should be monitored for signs/symptoms of TB recurrence during the first 12-24 months post-therapy. • Pulmonary function testing should be performed in all people completing therapy for pulmonary TB, given the high incidence of respiratory disease in people with TB. • TB programs should ensure that people with TB are linked to a stable primary care provider before the end of TB treatment.","PeriodicalId":9471,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Respiratory, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine","volume":"39 1","pages":"66 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79876388","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 rate in 2020 was 4.7 per 100,000 population. • Pronounced disparities in certain population subgroups and geographic regions persist. Foreign-born individuals and Canadian-born Indigenous peoples in particular continue to be disproportionately affected by TB. • The active TB disease incidence rate in Inuit communities has been the highest in Canada for the past two decades, peaking in 2012 at 251.6 individuals per 100,000 population, more than 51 times the overall Canadian incidence rate. In 2020, the incidence rate was 70.3 per 100,000 population, or 15 times the overall Canadian rate. • The rate of active TB disease among First Nations on-reserve populations has gradually decreased since 2009, and leveled off after 2017 at just under 20.0 per 100,000 population, or three times the Canadian incidence rate. Incidence rates among First Nations off-reserve populations have been lower, at about 10.0 per 100,000 population since 2013. • Métis have been less affected among Canadian-born Indigenous peoples, with active TB disease incidence rates that gradually decreased to levels below the overall Canadian rate since 2012, varying between 2.2 and 3.7 per 100,000 population. • Individuals born outside Canada constitute the largest proportion of people reported with active TB disease, with an incidence rate that has remained almost unchanged since 2005, at about 15.0 individuals per 100,000 population. • The Canadian-born, non-Indigenous population is the least affected, with an incidence rate that gradually decreased by 83.3%, from 1.2 per 100,000 population in 2001 to 0.2 per 100,000 population in 2020. • Between 2017 and 2020, 3.5% of individuals who had active TB disease and whose human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status was known were HIV-positive. • In the last 20 years, on average, 12 TB-related deaths per year were reported in Canadian-born, non-Indigenous populations, compared to about 44 deaths annually for foreign-born populations. • Over the last 12 years, drug-resistant TB was isolated in 9.5% (n = 1,598) of people diagnosed with active TB disease and whose isolates were subjected to susceptibility testing. Of these, 83.2% (n = 1,329) had mono-resistance, primarily to isoniazid (INH) (n = 1,072) and pyrazinamide (PZA) (n = 225). Multidrug resistance (ie, resistance to INH and rifampin) accounted for 3.6% (n = 57), and extensively drug-resistance (ie, resistance to isoniazid and rifampin), plus any fluoroquinolone and at least 1 of 3 injectable second-line drugs (ie, amikacin, kanamycin or capreomycin), was rare and detected only 6 times.","PeriodicalId":9471,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Respiratory, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine","volume":"135 1","pages":"8 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77531848","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}
