Development and Implementation of a System Accountability Framework for Nova Scotia
Population growth and comorbidity are driving demand for episodic care and extended community supports creating backlogs in access, particularly for emergency care in Nova Scotia. In an effort to optimize access to care, Nova Scotia Health implemented a cross-sectoral framework to help move patients through their acute care journey. The Framework was led by the Integrated Acute and Episodic Clinical Services Network. IImplementation success requi…
Tobacco smoking clusters in households affected by tuberculosis in an individual participant data meta-analysis of national tuberculosis prevalence surveys
Tuberculosis (TB) and non-communicable diseases (NCD) share predisposing risk factors. TB-associated NCD might cluster within households affected with TB requiring shared prevention and care strategies. We conducted an individual participant data meta-analysis of national TB prevalence surveys to determine whether NCD cluster in members of households with TB. We identified eligible surveys that reported at least one NCD or NCD risk factor through…
WHO's new End TB Strategy
Cost, affordability and cost-effectiveness of strategies to control tuberculosis in countries with high HIV prevalence
To reduce the burden of TB in high HIV prevalence settings, the immediate goal should be to increase TB case detection rates and, to the extent possible, improve TB cure rates, preferably in combination. Realising the full potential of ART will require substantial new funding and strengthening of health system capacity so that increased funding can be used effectively
Cost-effectiveness of HIV/Aids interventions in Africa
On-site HIV Testing in Resource-poor Settings
Objective: To determine the feasibility, accuracy and cost-effectiveness of a rapid, on-site, HIV testing strategy in a rural hospital, and to assess its impact on test turnaround time and the proportion of patients post-test counselled. Design: Prospective comparison of two testing strategies |double rapid test on-site versus central enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based testing|, and an economic evaluation. Setting: Hlabisa Hospital, …
