Using Data

To describe the follow-up treatment of Resistant Rifampicin in health care facilities based on the results of the gene-Xpert examination. The study design was cross-sectional using data from "Evaluation study of detection of TB cases with the rapid molecular test in Indonesia in 2018". The data resources were from 42 hospitals and two primary health care facilities having conducted the gene-Xpert examination at least six months in 42 districts, 26 provinces in Indonesia. The number of TB diagnoses with gene-Xpert from health facilities was 33,630 cases, 31.6% of those cases were TB positive, namely rifampicin sensitivity of 89% (9,456) and rifampicin-resistant of 11% (1,171). 29% of resistant rifampicin tuberculosis cases were missing cases consisting of the untreated and unknown follow-up treatment of 18% and 11%, respectively. Missing cases were mostly found in males of 66.1%. Based on the age, 76.9% of the missing cases were in productive age, such as 15 to 54 years. Moreover, according to the TB treatment history and origin of the case, missing cases were found in new cases, 54.4%, and the existing health facility 51.2%. The most reason for missing the RR-TB case in the follow-up treatment was the refusal of treatment 40.3%. The high non-compliance to TB treatment was caused by inadequate general knowledge about TB, lack of social support, medication side effects, and long treatment period, which were posed as barriers to adherence to treatment.

There are many pros and cons with the protocols used to diagnose patient with TB, particularly because research isn't able to correlate findings with the virulence of the tuberculosis pathogen. This has resulted in further experiments to try optimise protocols for better evaluation of susceptible and resistant tuberculosis strains. This indicates the need for more health-care facilities to treat patients with tuberculosis, or co-tuberculosis infections, more precisely. This article presents some advantages and disadvantages of tuberculosis treatment protocols, with emphasis on drugs, tuberculosis data sets and the administration of plant compounds. This paper also highlights some points on the mechanism of drug action with tuberculosis. Controversies and the present status of tuberculosis studies are also commented on. This is the first (generalised) paper to highlight laboratory as well as non-laboratory points pertaining to tuberculosis and tuberculosis protocols.

Low And Middle Income

SummaryCatastrophic spending on health care through out-of-pocket payment is a huge problem in most low- and middle-income countries all over the world. The collapse of health systems and poverty have resulted in the proliferation of the private health sector in Cambodia, but very few studies have examined the fairness in ease of utilization of these services based on mode of payment. This study examined the utilization of health services for sickness or injury and identified its relationship with people's ability to pay for treatment seeking at various instances. Based on cross-sectional data from the Cambodian 2007 Demographic and Health Survey, the economic index estimated through principal component analysis and Lorenz curve was used to quantify the degree of fairness and equality in utilization and payment burden among the respondents. A distinct level of fairness was found in health care utilization and out-of-pocket payments. Specifically, use of private health care facilities and over-the-counter remedies dominate, and out-of-pocket payments cut across all socioeconomic strata. As many countries in low- and middle-income regions, and most importantly those in transition such as Cambodia, are repositioning their health systems, efforts should be made towards maintaining equitable access through adoption of finance mechanisms that make utilization of health care services fair and equitable.
