Objective This study assessed the effects of using Xpert in place of conventional solid and liquid cul- ture and drug-susceptibility testing on case detection rates, treatment initiation rates, and health system delays among drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) patients. Methods Cohort data on registration, test results and treatment initiation were collected from routine presumptive patient registers one year before and one year after Xpert was introduced. Pro- portions of case detection and treatment initiation were compared using the Pearson Chi square test and median time delays using the Mood ’ s Median test. Results A total of 975 individuals at risk of drug-resistant TB were registered in the pre-intervention year and 1,442 in the post-intervention year. After Xpert introduction, TB positivity rate in- creased by 15%, while rifampicin resistance rate reduced by 23% among TB positive cases and by 9% among all tested. Second-line TB treatment initiation rate among rifampicin re- sistant patients increased by 19%. Time from client registration to diagnosis was reduced by 74 days to a median of a single day (IQR 0 – 4) and time from diagnosis to treatment start was reduced by 27 days to a median of 15 days (IQR 7 – 51). All findings were significant with p < 0.001. Conclusion Compared to solid and liquid culture and drug-susceptibility testing, Xpert detected more TB and less rifampicin resistance, increased second-line treatment initiation rates and shortened time to diagnosis and treatment. This test holds promise to improve rapid case finding and management of drug-resistant TB patients in Indonesia. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
