  • Multimorbidity and health-related quality of life after tuberculosis treatment in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson T Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Chronic conditions both drive development of and are consequences of tuberculosis (TB). While there is growing awareness of chronic lung disease, data on other health conditions post-TB are limited. In this cross-sectional study in Zimbabwe, we offered adults with pulmonary TB an integrated health check at or after treatment completion, assessing uptake and yield. Members of the same households were also offered the intervention. Selecting househ…

  • Integrated health checks as a person-centred approach to systematic screening of household tuberculosis contacts

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Globally, tuberculosis incidence and mortality is driven by syndemic interactions of tuberculosis with other chronic conditions including HIV, diabetes and undernutrition in a deleterious social and structural context, often characterised by poverty. Systematic screening for tuberculosis among household contacts is a core element of the WHO tuberculosis strategy but is hampered in high-tuberculosis incidence settings by health system constraints …

  • Prediction models for Mtb infection among adolescent and adult household contacts in high tuberculosis incidence settings

    Open AccessEdson Marambire, Claire Jacqueline Calderwood et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Tuberculosis household contacts are at high risk of developing tuberculosis. Tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) is highly effective, but implementation is hindered by limited accessibility of diagnostic tests aimed at detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb) infection. Development of Mtb infection prediction models to guide clinical decision-making aims to overcome these challenges. We used data from 1905 tuberculosis household contacts (ag…

  • Person-centered and youth-oriented interventions to improve TB Care for adolescents and young adults

    Open AccessPatricia M Waterous, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Introduction Globally adolescents and young adults (AYA) with tuberculosis (TB) face unique challenges. Until recently they have received little attention and few tailored interventions exist. To improve TB outcomes in this population, there is a need to implement tailored interventions. However, limited research has been conducted about how to meet the needs of AYA with tuberculosis. In this paper we present the findings of a qualitative study t…
