The first national tuberculosis prevalence survey of Lao
            PDR
            (2010–2011)

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a burden globally, including Indonesia. The primary objective of this study is to reveal the chest radiography characteristic of drug-sensitive TB (DS-TB) and multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) in the Indonesian national tuberculosis prevalence survey 2013–2014. The secondary objective is to explore the correlation and incidence rate of chest radiography lesion of DS-TB and MDR-TB cases. Methods: This is a cross-sectional retrospective analytical studies with national and regional coverage. Samples were selected by stratified multi-stage clustering sampling technique in a population aged ≥15 years old. The diagnosis of TB was based on culture and GeneXpert tests. Results: There were 147 DS-TB and 11 MDR-TB patients that were analyzed in this study. The nodule is the only type of lesions that distinguish MDR-TB and DS-TB. In multivariate analysis of DS-TB, there were 3 significant chest radiography lesions, i.e infiltrate, cavity and consolidation with odd-ratio (OR) of 14, 13, and 3, respectively. In MDR-TB, the only significant lesion is a nodule, with OR of 19. Conclusion: Nodule is the only type of lesions that distinguish MDR-TB and DS-TB. Infiltrate, cavity and consolidation were the types of chest radiography lesions on DS-TB, meanwhile, a nodule was the only significant lesion for MDR-TB.

Tuberculosis Prevalence

The Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey Conducted In 2018-2019 Has Given The New Estimation Of TB Prevalence (117,000) In Nepal. Out Of The Estimated Burden, About 32,000 People Were Diagnosed And Registered In The National Tuberculosis Programme For Treatment In 2019. More Than Half Of The Projected Tuberculosis Cases Are Still Missing In The Country, Which Is A Major Challenge For Achieving The END TB Targets By 2035. The Study Aims To Identify The Challenges Of Carrying Out The National Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey (NTPS) And Recommend Possible Ways To Mitigate The Encounters In The Future Study. All Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey Reports Were Obtained From The World Health Organization As Grey Literature And Analyzed The Methods That They Used To Carry Out The Survey, Challenges They Faced While Conducting The Surveys, And Programme Implications After The Surveys. The Studies Used A Cross-Sectional Population-Based Random Sampling Method To Select The Clusters Using The Proportional Population To Size (PPS) Method To Select Primary And Secondary Sampling Units. Multiple Challenges Existed To Conduct The Survey In The Country. The Logistical And Transportation Of Sputum, Equipment, And Human Resources In Different Geographical Terrain, The Low Positive Rate In Culture Method And Less Priority Given For Health-Seeking Behavior And TB Risk Factors In The Survey. There Are Several Challenges For Conducting A Nationwide Survey. However, They Can Be Resolved By Developing Alternatives And Communicating The Plan In Advance. The Survey Always Provides The Ground To Improve And Expand The Scope Of Strategies And Interventions, Which Leads To Achieving The Desired Goals In The Programme.
