Presentation Transcript

  1. Further explorations of surveillance data • Cross-checking estimates of TB incidence (EMR) • Identifying districts with poor diagnosis (Syria) • Exploring diagnostic accuracy (Jordan) • Explaining variation in treatment outcomes (S. Africa) • Strengthening evidence for trends in TB incidence (Morocco) • Strengthening evidence for DOTS impact (Peru) • Understanding the limits of DOTS impact (China)

  2. Standards and norms in TB epidemiology: 2 approaches 1. Comparisons with known standards e.g. • ss+ inc = 50 * ARTI (Styblo) • ss+/pulmonary cases = 70% • EP/all TB = 15-20% 2. Anomalies, deviations, and inconsistencies: • incidence inversely related to average age • regional variation in sex ratio • provincial differences in suspects/cases See indicator list

  3. Evaluating case detection and treatment outcomes
