Abstract Background Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were increasing in Europe, and Spain Catalonia not an exception. has been one of regions with highest number confirmed cases Spain. The objective this study was to estimate magnitude decline, due STI during lockdown de-escalation phases. Methods Interrupted time series analysis performed decline reported - chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, lymphogranuloma venereum- since historical data, from March 13th...
Background: Exposure time to a tuberculosis (TB) index case may be marker of recent latent infection (LTBI) risk. The aim this study was determine the LTBI risk involved in immigrant contact based on exposure pulmonary TB cases. Methods: We conducted 30-month prevalence contacts Catalonia (1 January 2019-30 June 2021). Contacts with were identified by means tuberculin skin test and/or interferon gamma release assay. Variables associated analysed using adjusted OR (aOR) and 95% confidence...
The COVID-19 pandemic could have negative effects on tuberculosis (TB) control. objective was to assess the impact of in contact tracing, TB and latent infection (LTBI) contacts patients with pulmonary Catalonia (Spain).Contact tracing carried out cases detected during 14 months pre-pandemic period (1 January 2019 28 February 2020) March 2020 30 April 2021). Contacts received tuberculin skin test and/or interferon gamma release assay it determined whether they had or LTBI. Variables...
Setting: Tuberculosis (TB) control requires the proper identification and treatment of affected patients investigation their contacts. In certain vulnerable immigrant groups, however, these tasks may be hindered due to ethnic sociocultural characteristics. Objective: To analyse results a community programme designed locate hard-to-reach immigrants with TB. Design: Descriptive study all cases diagnosed confirmed TB referred Public Community Health team Drassanes International Unit in...
Monitoring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in adolescents is essential to inform STI prevention strategies at primary and secondary levels this key population. We aim describe recent trends STIs among analyse their socio-demographic behavioural characteristics Catalonia, Spain between 2012 2017. Data on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection, gonorrhoea syphilis cases aged from 13 19 years reported the Catalan Mandatory Notifiable System 2017 were analysed. Diagnosis rates calculated a...
The optimal treatment for latent tuberculosis infection consists of isoniazid (H, INH) 9-12 months. Although INH 6 months (6H) is more cost-effective than the 12-month regimen, cost-effectiveness 6H regimen and that 9 (9H) have not been compared.To compare with 9H.Cost-effectiveness was evaluated using ratio cost preventing one case vs. 9H. estimated as product number patients to be treated prevent or 9H × 9H.A total 1039 were studied. needed 33 (95%CI 21-83) 26 18-50) respectively €444.34...
Background: The control of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) encompasses multiple stages. objective was to calculate the losses in LTBI care cascade for pulmonary TB contacts Catalonia (Spain). Methods: studied reported from 1 January 2019 30 June 2021, considering three dependent variables: non-performance testing; non-receipt a treatment prescription; and non-adherence treatment. Variables associated with were analysed using adjusted OR (aOR) 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results:...
