Retrospective Cohort Study of Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Tuberculosis Notifications, Vietnam, 2020

Abstract: We evaluated the effects of the coronavirus disease pandemic on diagnosis of and treatment for tuberculosis (TB) in Vietnam. We obtained quarterly notifications for TB and multidrug-resistant/rifampin-resistant (MDR/RR) TB from 2015–2020 and evaluated changes in monthly TB case notifications. We used an interrupted time series to assess the change in notifications and treatment outcomes. Overall, TB case notifications were 8% lower in 2020 than in 2019; MDR/RR TB notifications were 1% lower. TB case notificati… Show more

“…Berbeda dengan hasil penelitian Zimmer et al, dalam penelitian Hasan et al menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan antara hasil pengobatan pasien TB per kuartal yang memulai pengobatan 6 bulannya sebelum masa pandemi dan menyelesaikan pengobatannya selama pandemi jika dibandingkan dengan pasien yang menjalani pengobatan 6 bulannya di tahun 2019. Proporsi kemungkinan hasil pengobatan pada pasien TB, yaitu memberikan hasil baik (sembuh total), tidak memberi hasil yang baik (gagal pengobatan, lost to follow up, kematian) maupun berubah status menjadi MDR-TB pada penelitian tersebut menunjukkan angka yang tidak berbeda jauh antara saat pandemi dan periode sebelum pandemi (22).…”

“…Namun kondisi penurunan notifikasi tersebut diketahui hanya saat pemberlakuan lockdown (pada 2 bulan awal pandemi), setelah kebijakan lockdown ditiadakan notifikasi kasus TB pulih kembali seperti sebelum pandemi. Senada dengan penelitian tersebut pada penelitian Togun et al diketahui terjadi penurunan notifikasi kasus baru TB, terutama pada TB anak, oleh karena adanya pengalihan fungsi alat diagnostik yang semula untuk TB dialihkan untuk pemeriksaan COVID-19 (15) (19) (22). Penurunan notifikasi TB juga terjadi karena gangguan pada layanan rawat jalan, pengalihan rute fasilitas khusus TB (24).…”
