Evaluation and Demonstration of New Tuberculosis Diagnostics for Indonesia

Conditions: Tuberculosis

Sex: All
Ages: 29 Days – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 40000
Sponsor: Universitas Padjadjaran

Location: Bandung District Health Office Bandung West Java

Summary

The goal of this cluster-randomised controlled trial (CRCT) is to learn whether the use of new non-sputum-based diagnostic tests and other intervention components for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in healthcare facilities (HCF) can increase TB notifications. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) Does the diagnostic intervention package raise TB notifications by HCF?; (2) Does the diagnostic intervention package raise the proportion of patients with TB who are diagnosed with microbiological tests, lower the time needed for TB diagnosis, lower the number of visits to HCF before TB diagnosis, raise the use of TB tests by healthcare providers, and lower the costs for TB diagnosis? Researchers will compare the diagnostic intervention package provided to HCFs and the community in the intervention arm with the standard of care in the control arm to assess the intervention's effect. Healthcare providers will be trained to provide diagnostic interventions to patients visiting their HCFs and to community residents in the areas surrounding HCFs.
