Kết quả áp dụng chiến lược 2X trong hoạt động phát hiện chủ động bệnh lao tại cộng đồng tỉnh Thái Nguyên giai đoạn 2020 - 2023

Abstract

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the results of applying the 2X strategy in community-based active case finding for tuberculosis in Thai Nguyen province from 2020 to 2023. 43,139 subjects participating in TB screening through the 2X strategy from 2020 to 2023 in the target populations were recruited. The results show that the proportion of people actively screened for tuberculosis according to the 2X strategy accounted for 0.8% of the population; it was the highest in 2020 (accounted for 1.5% of the population) and the lowest in 2023 (accounted for 0.3% of the population). The proportion of subjects who were prescribed Xpert MTB/RIF testing was 1.6%. The proportion of people diagnosed with TB among the total number of people screened was 0.6%. The 2X strategy has contributed to the early detection and treatment of tuberculosis patients. It is recommended that the Thai Nguyen provincial tuberculosis control program organize regular screening campaigns to increase the percentage of active detection of tuberculosis in the community.
