INDICATORS CORRELATED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF REVISED NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL PROGRAMME IN RAJASTHAN, INDIA 2011-2014

Dr. P. K. Anand*

ABSTRACT

Introduction: TB remained one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide in 2015. India continues as one among top 20 high burden countries. A retrospective analytical epidemiological study was carried out on indicators of Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) of Rajasthan, India during 2011 to 2014. The objectives were (1) to identify the indicators correlated with the indicators having vital significance in ongoing transmission of tuberculosis, incidence, drug resistance pattern and therapeutic effectiveness and (3) to develop regression equation for making future prediction. Methodology: Vital or dependent indicators were identified based on the vital information they convey. Correlation and regression analysis were performed on Epi-info. Results: Four dependent or vital indicators were selected. These are (1) Percentage of paediatric cases out of all new cases; (2) Annual new smear positive case notification rate; (3) 3 month conversion rate of new smear positive patients in percentage; and (4) treatment success rate of new smear positive patients. 19 independent indicators were found correlated. ‘Suspects examined per smear positive case diagnosed’ showed strong negative correlation with Annual new smear positive case notification rate. With every unit rise in No of suspects examined there was decline of 6.796 cases in annual new smear positive case notification rate (p
