Cost-effectiveness of Two Forms of DOTS in a Demonstration Area of

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

- Tuberculosis ( TB ) remains a major global public health problems and actions to ensure the diagnosis and complete treatment of all cases is the priority for the control of this disease. Despite the availability of effective anti-tuberculosis medications, there are still high levels of nonadherence to treatment. The nonadherence increases the morbidity and mortality of patients, decreases the cure rate, increases the community transmission and the increase of chronically ill patients enables the emergence of multi - drug resistant and increases treatment costs.

- Despite the knowledge about different forms of cost-effective delivery of DOT (directly observed treatment), recognition of the need to establish the DOT strategy related to the context from local studies, in Colombia and in Cali we hadn't had made studies similar than this one that establish the cost and results of the current DOT delivery strategy and to identify other ways to improve adherence and cure rate for the TB patients at reasonable cost for both: health services and families

- Therefore, this research aims to compare the cost -effectiveness of current DOT delivery method with an alternative extra- institutional delivery of anti -TB treatment in urban areas of Cali. A cost-effectiveness study was conducted from the institutional and familiar perspective with prospective information collection.

Clinical Trial Description

We compared two strategies for anti- TB treatment delivery: one institutional in which patients went to health institutions to receive treatment and other extra- institutional in which the medication was delivered in the place of choice for treating patients.

Measuring the effectiveness ( compliance and cure ) was made from a controlled clinical trial , randomized , partially blinded . The measurement of family and institutional costs , direct and indirect , will be based on the activities. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
