“…The data was based on comparative studies of TB population from China , two from Malaysia [18,23], five from India [14,15,29,[35][36][37][38], four from Canada [5,24,25,30] one form each UK [17] Pakistan [35], Spain [36] Taiwan [28] South Africa [37] and Turkey [39]. Among the selected articles fourteen studies were cross sectional [5,14,26,27,30,33,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40] and sixteen were prospective cohort based studies [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]29,31,32,41].

“…11,15,17,20,[24][25][26] Out of these, only two studies were conducted in Asia 20,24 one used a DR-12 questionnaire and the other used a modified version of the SF-36 health survey to quantify HRQoL in TB patients. These findings highlighted the existence of a gap in literature with regard to a follow-up study using a validated tool to gauge the impact of TB treatment on HRQoL of smear positive PTB patients.…”

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity around the world, infecting approximately 8 billion people, with an annual death rate of close to 1 million. The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of tuberculosis treatment on health related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with active and inactive tuberculosis by evolving HRQoL questionnaire (SF-36v2). Methodology: A prospective follow-up study was conducted for total 70 patients (56 men and 14 women) diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) in Navodaya Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Raichur for a period of 6 months. The HRQoL of TB patients was assessed in three phases: at the onset of treatment, at one month (middle of intensive phase) and two months (end of intensive phase), after the initiation of anti-tuberculosis therapy. Results: A total of 70 patients completed the SF-36v2 questionnaire at the start of their treatment. Out of these, 53 and 41 completed the questionnaire at the second and third follow-ups, respectively. The mean physical component summary (PCS) scores at the start of the treatment, after one month and at the intensive phase were 42.09 ± 16.77, 53.89 ± 13.64 and 65.24 ± 12.86, respectively. Similarly, the mean mental component summary (MCS) scores at the start of the treatment, after one month and at the intensive phase were 43 ± 17.07, 52.19 ± 14.12 and 62.17 ± 15.12, respectively. Conclusion: The HRQoL improved with the treatment, the scores on component summary measures revealed the improvement of both physical and mental health among study patients at the end of intensive phase.

“…Level of education also play an important roles in affecting HRQoL (Dhelaimi et al, 2018;Malik et al, 2018;Hilka et al, 2017;Louw et al, 2016;Dujaili et al, 2015;Kakhki et al, 2015). Highly educated patients tend to have better health-seeking behavior and thus likely to report for treatment earlier than those who are less educated.…”

Background: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) is an infectious disease and still a global public health issue. PTB affects not only the patients' physical health, but also on their mental and social wellbeing. The health program in TB management routinely focuses on bacteriological markers of response and on outcomes such as cure, mortality and treatment failure. However, there are various aspects that may lead to a poor HRQoL. Thus, an evaluation of Healthrelated Quality of Life (HRQoL) and its determinants has become an important health outcome and an area of concern for policy makers, health care professionals and researchers. The objective of this systematic review is to determine how PTB affects patients' HRQoL and to identify the determinants of affected HRQoL. Materials and Methods: Systematic review of the published literature was conducted. Original studies providing information on PTB affecting the HRQoL were identified. The search terms used were "Health-related Quality of Life", "Determinants", "Pulmonary Tuberculosis" and "Patients". The articles selected were rated using items extracted from the STROBE Statement checklist. Result: After screening, 21 articles were used for the systematic review; findings were discussed in terms of the study design, participants, results, remarks and the quality of the article (Table 1). Conclusion: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) does impair the Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among the patients; namely the physical, mental and social components.

Abstract: Therapeutic intervention had a positive impact on patient HRQL. We conclude that FACIT-TB is a reliable tool to monitor HRQL during the course of TB treatment.
