Objective:
To evaluate the effect of the implementation of CIDA/WHO TB Control project in Shangdong Province.
Methods:
The statistical data and supervision information of 42 counties involved in the project from September 2002 to December 2005 were collected and analyzed.
Results:
The recorded rate of smear-positive TB patients increased from 23.89 per 100 000 persons to 41.04 per 100 000 persons after 3 turns of project in the 3 years. The cure rate in initially smear-positive patients was 97.21% among 14 592 patients having completed the course of treatment; it was 95.36% among 4978 recurred smear-positive patients after the treatment. Thus, the goal aiming at high rate of diagnosing and curing was achieved.
Conclusion:
The successful implementation of the project has improved the diagnose and treatment of infectious pulmonary TB patients in Shangdong Province and facilitate the implementation of Provincial TB Control Program.
