          Abstract

          Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade dos dados, a aceitabilidade e a oportunidade do sistema de vigilância da tuberculose nas microrregiões do Brasil. Foi realizado estudo ecológico transversal, após etapa qualitativa para seleção de indicadores, tendo como unidades de análise as 558 microrregiões. Foram utilizados dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN), de 2012 a 2014, para cálculo de 14 indicadores referentes a 4 atributos: completitude, consistência, oportunidade e aceitabilidade. Foi empregada análise de cluster para agrupar as microrregiões quanto à aceitabilidade e à oportunidade. Dentre as 473 microrregiões com completitude ótima ou regular (70% a 100%) e número de notificações superior a 5, foram identificados 3 clusters. O cluster 1 (n = 109) apresentou oportunidades médias de notificação e de tratamento iguais a 62,8% e 24,9%, respectivamente. O cluster 2 (n = 143) teve o percentual médio de casos testados para HIV igual a 55,9%. O cluster 3 (n = 221) apresentou o melhor desempenho nos indicadores da tuberculose. Os resultados sugerem áreas prioritárias para aprimoramento da vigilância da tuberculose, predominantemente no centro-norte do país. Também apontam a necessidade de aumento da oportunidade do tratamento e do percentual de casos testados para HIV.

          Abstract This study aimed to evaluate quality, acceptability and timeliness of the data in the tuberculosis surveillance system in Brazilian micro-regions. An ecological cross-sectional study was carried out, after a qualitative stage for selecting indicators. All 558 Brazilian micro-regions were used as units of analysis. Data available in the National Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), from 2012 to 2014, were used to calculate 14 indicators relating to four attributes: completeness, consistency, timeliness and acceptability. The study made use of cluster analysis to group micro-regions according to acceptability and timeliness. Three clusters were identified among the 473 micro-regions with optimal or regular completeness (70% to 100%) and with over five notifications. Cluster 1 (n = 109) presented mean timeliness of notification and treatment equal to 62.8% and 24.9%, respectively. Cluster 2 (n = 143) had a mean percentage of cases tested for HIV equal to 55.9%. Cluster 3 (n = 221) had the best performing tuberculosis indicators. Results suggest priority areas for improving surveillance of tuberculosis, predominantly in the central-north part of the country. They also point to the need to increase the timeliness of treatment and the percentage of cases tested for HIV.

          Free tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment are not enough: patient cost evidence from three continents.

          The National Tuberculosis Programs of Ghana, Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic. To assess the direct and indirect costs of tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment for patients and households. Each country translated and adapted a structured questionnaire, the Tool to Estimate Patients' Costs. A random sample of new adult patients treated for at least 1 month was interviewed in all three countries. Across the countries, 27-70% of patients stopped working and experienced reduced income, 5-37% sold property and 17-47% borrowed money due to TB. Hospitalisation costs (US$42-118) and additional food items formed the largest part of direct costs during treatment. Average total patient costs (US$538-1268) were equivalent to approximately 1 year of individual income. We observed similar patterns and challenges of TB-related costs for patients across the three countries. We advocate for global, united action for TB patients to be included under social protection schemes and for national TB programmes to improve equitable access to care.
