Métodos: Estudo de coorte prospectiva, realizado em cinco capitais de estados brasileiros (Manaus, Recife, Vitória, Campo Grande e Porto Alegre) no período de junho de 2016 a julho de 2018. Empregou-se regressão logística para calcular a razão de chances (odds ratio, OR) e os intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%). Resultados: Dos 350 participantes, 310 foram incluídos, dos quais 30 apresentaram desfecho desfavorável. Custo catastrófico (OR=2,53 - IC95% 1,13;5,67) e divórcio (OR=5,29 - IC95% 1,39;20,05) aumentaram as chances de desfecho desfavorável. Conclusão: Dificuldades financeiras durante o tratamento da tuberculose podem prejudicar seu desfecho. Os fatores determinantes para o desfecho do tratamento foram custo catastrófico e divórcio.

Método pesquisa transversal multicêntrica de 2016 a 2018, em cinco capitais do Brasil, em pacientes diagnosticados com tuberculose. Os custos totais foram a soma dos custos diretos e indiretos incorridos antes e durante o diagnóstico e tratamento. A regressão logística foi utilizada para estudar determinantes de custos catastróficos. A pobreza foi medida como renda familiar per capita diária < U$ 5,5. Resultados trezentos e sessenta e um pacientes foram inscritos no estudo. O custo extrapolação foi de R$3.664,47 (DP: R$ 2.667,67) e o custo total de extrapolação foi de R$22.291,82 (DP: R$ 16.259,50). No geral, 29% dos participantes do estudo foram caracterizados como pobres antes da tuberculose, e 39% depois. Em média, a renda diminuiu em 11% dos participantes e 41% tiveram custos catastróficos. Os determinantes estatisticamente significativos de experimentar custos catastróficos fora...

Considering the impact of the costs of illness, the importance of adapting the instrument is highlighted. Objective: To adapt transculturally to Brazilian Portuguese the instrument Tool to Estimate Patient's Costs. Methods: Study of the type transcultural adaptation of instrument. The translation followed the criteria described by Herdman, 1998, in order to preserve functional equivalence as much as possible. The questionnaire with cross-cultural adaptation was applied to 77 patients, with at least one full month of treatment for the disease. Results: Instrument was shown with Cronbach Alpha above 0.71 constituting a good tool for measuring the costs of the disease, being necessary modifications. Conclusions: This study suggests the creation of an instrument adapted for the treatment of TB in Brazil, for the evaluation of costs with the illness by tuberculosis.

New cases of culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) treated in Vitória, Espírito Santo State, Brazil, between January 2005 and December 2006 were interviewed and chose their preferred treatment strategy. Costs incurred by providers and patients (and patients' families) were estimated, and cost-effectiveness was assessed by comparing costs per successfully treated patient. 130 patients were included in the study; 84 chose CHW-supervised DOTS and 46 chose guardian-supervised DOTS. 45 of 46 (98%) patients treated with guardian-supervised DOTS were cured or completed treatment compared to 70/84 (83%) of the CHW-supervised patients (p = 0.01). Logistic regression showed only the strategy of supervision to be a significant associ...

MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo e prospectivo envolvendo 79 pacientes com tuberculose tratados no Centro de Pesquisa Clínica do Hospital Universitário Cassiano Antônio Moraes, no município de Vitória, ES, entre 2003 e 2006. O regime de tratamento consistiu em isoniazida, rifampicina, pirazinamida e etambutol por quatro meses, seguido de rifampicina e isoniazida por dois meses. Durante o tratamento, os pacientes foram clinicamente avaliados todas as semanas e tinham uma visita médica mensal. RESULTADOS: A incidência geral de efeitos adversos foi de 83,54%. O envolvimento articular/ósseo/muscular e o envolvimento cutâneo foram mais frequentes (24,94% e 22,09%, respectivamente). Os eventos adversos foram mais comuns no segundo mês de tratamento (41,59%). Não houve necessidade de modificação do esquema de tratamento. Apenas 1 paciente necessitou de medi...

METHODS: Prospective cohort study of 171 patients treated by the program in Vitoria, Southeastern Brazil, from 2004 to 2007. Each patient was followed-up for six months until the end of the treatment. Of the patients studied, a household member supervised 59 patients and healthcare workers supervised 112 patients. Patients' sociodemographic and clinic data were analyzed. Differences between groups were assessed using chi-square test or Student's t-test. Significance level was set at 5%. RESULTS: Most patients had smear positive, culture confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis. Two patients were HIV-positive. There were more illiterate patients in the healthcare-supervised group, in comparison to those supervised by their families (p=0.01). All patients supervised by a household member were cured compared to 90% of the patients supervised by health care workers (p = 0...

Logistic regression showed only the strategy of supervision to be a significant association with treatment outcome, with guardian-supervised care strongly protective. Cost per patient treated with guardian-supervised DOTS was US$398, compared to US$548 for CHW-supervised DOTS. The guardian-supervised DOTS is an attractive option to complement CHW-supervised DOTS.

Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo de coorte histórica com análise de prontuários preenchidos entre 2002 e 2007 nos programas de referência de controle da doença no município de Vitória (ES). Os casos de infecção por Mycobacterium tuberculosis foram estratificados em dois grupos-profissionais de saúde (grupo PS) e indivíduos não profissionais de saúde (grupo NPS). Resultados: Um total de 395 indivíduos foi incluído no estudo: 35 no grupo PS e 360 no grupo NPS. A média de idade nos grupos PS e NPS foi de 34,8 e 32,4 anos, respectivamente (p = 0,36). A maioria de pacientes no grupo PS eram mulheres (29; 82,9%), enquanto 180 pacientes no grupo NPS eram mulheres (50,0%). Nos grupos PS e NPS, 15 e 169 pacientes (42,9% vs.46,9%), respectivamente, tiveram contatos de pacientes com TB, e 9 e 157 (25,7% vs.78,5%) eram portadores de HIV, respectivamente. O abandono da quimioprofilaxia foi de 37,1% e 21,9%
