Cost-effectiveness of in-kind nutritional support for impoverished persons with tuberculosis to reduce mortality and disengagement from care in India
BACKGROUND: Undernutrition is a leading risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) mortality and poor treatment outcomes. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of providing in-kind nutritional support to impoverished persons with TB (PWTB) in India. METHODS: We developed a Markov model comparing standard care with a household-level nutritional food-basket intervention. Model parameters were informed from systematic reviews and a recent cluster-randomised st…
Metabolite dynamics over the course of anti-tuberculosis treatment in individuals with mild and severe tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) manipulates host metabolism to gain nutrients and increase virulence. Despite known alterations in metabolism in individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) during anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment, the effect of disease severity on metabolite dynamics in individuals with PTB remains understudied. We examined metabolite dynamics over the course of anti-TB treatment in individuals diagnosed with mild (N = 8; smear…
Predicting potential to benefit from an iron intervention
Objective: The present study examines characteristics of those who benefited from a dietary Fe intervention comprised of salt double-fortified with iodine and Fe (DFS). Design: Data from a randomized controlled trial were analysed to identify predictors of improved Fe status and resolution of Fe deficiency (serum ferritin (sFt) Setting: A tea estate in West Bengal, India. Participants: Female tea pluckers, aged 18–55 years. Results: Consuming DFS…
Implementation and effects of India's national school-based iron supplementation program
The association between food insecurity and depressive symptoms severity among pregnant women differs by social support category
Common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, affect approximately 16% of pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries. Food insecurity (FI) has been shown to be associated with depressive symptoms. It has also been suggested that the association between FI and depressive symptoms is moderated by social support (SS); however, there is limited evidence of these associations among pregnant women living in low-income and middle-inco…
Predictors of anaemia and iron deficiency in HIV-infected pregnant women in Tanzania
Objective Anaemia is common during pregnancy, and prenatal Fe supplementation is the standard of care. However, the persistence of anaemia despite Fe supplementation, particularly in HIV infection, suggests that its aetiology may be more complex and warrants further investigation. The present study was conducted to examine predictors of incident haematological outcomes in HIV-infected pregnant women in Tanzania. Design Prospective cohort study. C…
Factors associated with mortality in HIV-infected and uninfected patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
Mortality among HIV-infected TB patients is high despite the use of effective anti-TB therapy. Most deaths occur after successful completion of therapy, an indication that patients die from causes other than TB. HIV infection is the strongest independent predictor of mortality in this cohort
