Sustained reduction in program-reported TB death rate in six districts following Tamil Nadu Kasanoi Erappila Thittam in southern India
(TN-KET) is India's first statewide and state-specific differentiated TB care initiative to reduce TB deaths. Under TN-KET, starting April 2022, adults with TB were triaged for severe illness at diagnosis, and those with very severe undernutrition or respiratory insufficiency or poor performance status (anyone) were prioritized for comprehensive clinical assessment and inpatient care. Following TN-KET, we report sustained TB death rate reduction …
Active case-finding for TB in India
Since 2017, tuberculosis active case-finding (TB ACF) has been implemented within the routine framework of India’s national TB elimination program. Symptom screen of high-risk population followed by confirmation of TB among symptom-screen positive is the algorithm. ACF scale and quality assessments hitherto were predominantly local or based on aggregate program data with limited details on all the scale and quality indicators, the time taken and …
Quality of active case-finding for tuberculosis in India
BACKGROUND: India has been implementing active case-finding (ACF) for TB among marginalised and vulnerable (high-risk) populations since 2017. The effectiveness of ACF cycle(s) is dependent on the use of appropriate screening and diagnostic tools and meeting quality indicators. OBJECTIVES: = 768) level and quality indicators for the first ACF cycle. METHODS: In this descriptive study, aggregate TB program data for each ACF activity that was extra…
