摘要

背景在纽约市(NYC)的结核病患者中,菲律宾是十大出生国之一。纽约市卫生局(HD)对在菲律宾出生的纽约人进行了潜伏肺结核感染(LTBI)筛查,但检测结果呈阳性的人中很少有完成评估和治疗的。QFT-Plus 检测结果呈阳性的患者可在 HD 胸科门诊接受免费的 LTBI 评估和治疗。房屋署聘请了具有文化和语言能力的菲律宾病人导航员(PN),以促进对LTBI的评估和治疗。结果 在接受筛查的77名菲律宾人中,17人(22%)检测呈阳性。结论将患者与具有文化和语言能力的菲律宾病人导航员配对,有助于提高 QFT-Plus 阳性的菲律宾人中完成 LTBI 评估和治疗的比例。肺结核预防项目不妨考虑在LTBI患者护理中使用PN。

Patient navigator’s role in latent tuberculosis infection at a New York City Health Department Chest Clinic

Background

Philippines is one of the top ten countries of birth among individuals with tuberculosis in New York City (NYC). The NYC Health Department (HD) screened Filipino-born New Yorkers for latent TB infection (LTBI), but few of those tested positive completed evaluation and treatment.

Objective

To increase the proportion of Filipinos with a positive QuantiFeron-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) complete LTBI evaluation and treatment.

Methods

Nine community-based LTBI screening events were conducted during September-December 2021. Patients with positive QFT-Plus results were offered no-cost LTBI evaluation and treatment at HD Chest Clinic. The HD engaged culturally- and linguistically-competent Filipino patient navigators (PN) to facilitate LTBI evaluation and treatment.

Results

Of 77 Filipinos screened, 17 (22%) tested positive. Fourteen (82%) were evaluated for LTBI; eight of the 14 (57%) completed LTBI treatment.

Conclusions

Pairing patients with culturally- and linguistically- competent Filipino PNs contributed to an increase in the proportion of Filipinos with a positive QFT-Plus who completed LTBI evaluation and treatment. TB prevention programs may wish to consider PNs in LTBI patient care.
