  • Identifying geographical heterogeneity of pulmonary tuberculosis in southern Ethiopia

    Open AccessMesay Hailu Dangisso, Daniel G Datiko et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2020

    BACKGROUND: Previous studies from Ethiopia detected disease clustering using broader geographic settings, but limited information exists on the spatial distribution of the disease using residential locations. An assessment of predictors of spatial variations of TB at community level could fill the knowledge gaps, and helps in devising tailored interventions to improve TB control. OBJECTIVE: To assess the pattern of spatial distribution of pulmona…

  • High urban tuberculosis case notification rates can be misleading

    Open AccessDaniel G Datiko, Ameha Hadgu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Although the TB CNR in Adama City was higher than the national CNR, about one-fifth of TB cases came from other sites-which led to overestimating the urban CNR and underestimating the CNR of neighboring areas. TB programs should disaggregate urban TB case notification data by place of residence to accurately identify the proportion of missed cases

  • Stigma matters in ending tuberculosis

    Open AccessDaniel G Datiko, Degu Jerene et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    More than a third of Ethiopians have high scores for TB-related stigma, which were associated with educational status, poverty, and lack of awareness about TB. Stigma matters in TB prevention, care, and treatment and warrants stigma reduction interventions

  • Patient and health system delay among TB patients in Ethiopia

    Open AccessDaniel G Datiko, Degu Jerene et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    TB patients' delay in seeking care remains a challenge due to limited community interventions, cost of seeking care, prolonged diagnostics and treatment initiation. Therefore, targeted community awareness creation, cost reduction strategies and improving diagnostic capacity are vital to reduce delay in seeking TB care in Ethiopia

  • Yield of household contact investigation of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in southern Ethiopia

    Open AccessMubarek A Yassin, Kesetebirhan Delele Yirdaw et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    HHCs of index PTB+ cases have high risk of developing active TB. Long term follow-up of HHCs could help improve TB case finding depending on country contexts. Further studies on effectiveness and feasibility of the approach and integration in routine settings are needed

  • Sub-national prevalence survey of tuberculosis in rural communities of Ethiopia

    Open AccessDaniel G Datiko, Ermias Amsalu Guracha et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    The prevalence of smear positive TB varies by districts and is high in rural southern Ethiopia compared to the estimated national prevalence. More TB patients remain missed and unreached, impacting negatively on health outcomes. TB case finding approaches should be revisited and innovative approaches and tools to identify missing people with TB should be scaled up

  • How do gender relations affect the working lives of close to community health service providers? Empirical research, a review and conceptual framework

    Open AccessRosalind Steege, Miriam Taegtmeyer et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2018

    Close-to-community (CTC) providers have been identified as a key cadre to progress universal health coverage and address inequities in health service provision due to their embedded position within communities. CTC providers both work within, and are subject to, the gender norms at community level but may also have the potential to alter them. This paper synthesises current evidence on gender and CTC providers and the services they deliver. This …

  • Accessibility to tuberculosis control services and tuberculosis programme performance in southern Ethiopia

    Open AccessMesay Hailu Dangisso, Daniel G Datiko et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015

    BACKGROUND: Despite the expansion of health services and community-based interventions in Ethiopia, limited evidence exists about the distribution of and access to health facilities and their relationship with the performance of tuberculosis (TB) control programmes. We aim to assess the geographical distribution of and physical accessibility to TB control services and their relationship with TB case notification rates (CNRs) and treatment outcome…

  • Patient and community experiences of tuberculosis diagnosis and care within a community-based intervention in Ethiopia

    Open AccessOlivia Tulloch, Sally Theobald et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    There is evidence rural populations with high levels of poverty, and in particular women, are at high risk of unmet health needs and undiagnosed TB. Embedding TB services within communities was an acceptable approach for vulnerable groups experiencing poor access to health facilities. In the Ethiopian context this approach can facilitate early diagnosis and improve treatment outcomes

  • Tuberculosis recurrence in smear-positive patients cured under Dots in southern Ethiopia

    Open AccessDaniel G Datiko, B LindtjørnARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    High recurrence rate occurred among smear-positive patients cured under DOTS. Further studies are required to identify factors contributing to high recurrence rates to improve disease free survival of TB patients after treatment

  • The rate of TB-HIV co-infection depends on the prevalence of HIV infection in a community

    Open AccessDaniel G Datiko, Mohammed A Yassin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    The rate of HIV infection in TB patients and pregnant women was higher in study participants from urban areas. The rate of HIV infection in TB patients was associated with the prevalence of HIV infection in pregnant women attending ANC
