Prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis among the tribal populations in India.
<h4>Importance</h4>There is no concrete evidence on the burden of TB among the tribal populations across India except for few studies mainly conducted in Central India with a pooled estimation of 703/100,000 with a high degree of heterogeneity.<h4>Objective</h4>To estimate th...

The sample populations included individuals ≥15 years old.<h4>Main outcome and measures</h4>Eligible participants who were screened through an interview for symptoms suggestive of pulmonary TB (PTB); Two sputum specimens were examined by smear and culture. Prevalence was estimated after multiple imputations for non-coverage and a correction factor of 1.31 was then applied to account for non-inclusion of X-ray screening.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 74532 (81.0%) of the 92038 eligible individuals were screened; 2675 (3.6%) were found to have TB symptoms or h/o ATT. The overall prevalence of PTB was 432 per 100,000 populations. The PTB prevalence per 100,000 populations was highest 625 [95% CI: 496-754] in the central zone and least 153 [95% CI: 24-281] in the west zone. Among the 17 states that were covered in this study, Odisha recorded the highest prevalence of 803 [95% CI: 504-1101] and Jammu and Kashmir the lowest 127 [95% CI: 0-310] per 100,000 populations. Findings from multiple logistic regression analysis reflected that those aged 35 years and above, with BMI <18.5 Kgs /m2, h/o ATT, smoking, and/or consuming alcohol had a higher risk of bacteriologically positive PTB. Weight loss was relatively more important symptom associated with tuberculosis among this tribal populations followed by night sweats, blood in sputum, and fever.<h4>Conclusion and relevance</h4>The overall prevalence of PTB among tribal groups is higher than the general populations with a wide variation of prevalence of PTB among the tribal groups at zone and state levels. These findings call for strengthening of the TB control efforts in tribal areas to reduce TB prevalence through tribal community/site-specific intervention programs.Beena E ThomasKannan ThiruvengadamChandrasekaran VedhachalamSrividya AV G RaoPaluru VijayachariYadav RajivRaghavi VAvi Kumar BansalAnil Kumar Indira KrishnaAlex JosephAnil Purty JTahziba HussainPraveen AnandPradeep DasK R JohnRekha Devi KSunish PAzhagendran SAzger DusthakeerBhat JVineet K ChadhaToteja G SDasarathy RaghunathMadhuchhanda DasA M KhanHapreet KaurPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 6, p e0251519 (2021) |
