REPORTS

WHO Form 05

Quarterly report on MDR-TB detection and Category IV treatment start

1. Number of patients detected with MDR-TB/XDR-TB in the lab (by date of result of MDR-TB/XDR-TB in laboratory register) during the quarter.

Base cohort: All patients enrolled in MDR-TB program at reporting location with a DST result recorded during the quarter.

  • Poly-resistance (PDR-TB): Patients who had a DST result during the quarter that showed resistance to more than one antituberculosis drug, other than both isoniazid and rifampicin
  • Multidrug-resistance (MDR-TB): Patients who had a DST result during the quarter that showed resistance to isoniazid and rifampicin (but which did not meet the parameters for XDR-TB)
  • Extensive drug-resistance (XDR-TB): Patients who had a DST result during the quarter that showed resistance to any fluroquinolone, and at least one of three injectable second-line drugs (capreomycin, kanamycin and amikacin), in addition to multidrug-resistance.
2. Number of MDR-TB patients who started Category IV treatment during the quarter.

Base cohort: All patients enrolled in MDR-TB program at reporting location who started treatment on any tuberculosis regimen during the specified quarter

Columns:

All are calculated from the MDR-TB program workflow “Registration Group – Previous Drug Use”.

  • New Case: Patients who have received no, or less than one month, of anti-TB treatment, including patients with a DST ordered within one month of treatment start
  • Previously treated with first-line drugs: A patient who has been treated for one month or more for TB with only first-line drugs.
  • Previously treated with second-line drugs: A patient who has been treated for TB for one month or more with one or more second-line drugs.

Rows:

Calculated based on DST results.

  • Confirmed cases: Patients with confirmed MDR-TB (or XDR-TB), based on DST result. Poly-resistant patients should not be included in this category.
  • Suspected cases: Any other patient started on MDR-TB therapy, even those patients who were later found to be culture or DST negative and had their treatment stopped. WHO definition states that these patients should have been started only because representative DST surveys or other epidemiologic data indicate a high probability of MDR-TB.
Data quality checks:
  • Ensure that all patients with an intake form or lab result recorded have been enrolled in the MDR-TB program at a location.
  • Ensure that all DST results are up-to-date.
  • Ensure that initial drug regimens have been entered.
  • Ensure that the workflow state “Registration Group – Previous Drug Use” is up to date for all patients

WHO Form 06

Six month interim outcome assessment of confirmed MDR-TB cases (to be filled out 9 months after treatment start)

Base cohort: All patients enrolled in MDR-TB program at reporting location who started treatment on any tuberculosis regimen during the specified quarter

Columns

  • Number started on treatment: Total number of patients in the base cohort
  • Bacteriologic results at six months of treatment
    • Negative (smear and culture negative): Patients with at least one smear and culture, and no positive smears or cultures, during treatment months 5 and 6 (which are the 6th and 7th monhs of treatment based on the WHO standard of starting with treatment month 0)
    • Positive (smear and/or culture positive): Patients with at least one positive smear and/or culture during treatment months 5 and 6
    • Unknown: Patients with no positive smear or culture, but without both a negative smear and a negative culture during treatment months 5 and 6
  • No longer on treatment
    • Died: Patients who died within 6 months of treatment start ( patients with TREATMENT OUTCOME = PATIENT DIED during first 6 months of treatment)
    • Defaulted: Patients whose treatment was interrupted for two or more consecutive months for any reason without medical approval within 6 months of treatment start (patients with TREATMENT OUTCOME = PATIENT DEFAULTED during first 6 months of treament)
    • Transferred out: Patients who have been transferred to another facility during first 6 months of treatment ( patients with TREATMENT OUTCOME = TRANSFERRED OUT during first 6 months of treatment)
    • Other: Patients who had a treatment outcome other than died, defaulted, or transferred out during the first 6 months of treatment (normally, no patients should fall in this category)

Data quality checks:

  • Ensure that all patients with an intake form or lab result recorded have been enrolled in the MDR-TB program at a location.
  • Ensure that treatment start dates are correct.
  • Ensure that all smear and culture results have been entered.
  • Ensure that patient outcomes are up to date (and that outcome dates are correct).
  • Check for suspected defaulters who have not had outcome updated (look for patients without an encounter in the last two months)

WHO Form 07

Annual report of treatment result of confirmed MDR-TB patients starting Category IV treatment (to be filled in 24 and 36 months past the closing date of year of treatment)

Base cohort: All patients enrolled in MDR-TB program at reporting location who started treatment on any tuberculosis regimen during the specified year

Columns:

All are calculated based on workflow TREATMENT OUTCOME

  • Cured: Patients who have completed treatment and have at least five consecutive negative cultures from samples collected at least 30 days apart in the final 12 months of treatment. Doctors may mark a patient as cured if only one of the cultures is positive, but it is followed by three consecutive negative cultures and there is no concomitant clinical evidence of deterioration.
  • Treatment completed: Patients who have completed treatment but do not meet the definition of cured, eg who do not have at least five cultures taken in the final twelve months.
  • Failed: Patients for whom two or more of the final five cultures are positive, or if any one of the final three cultures is positive, or for whom treatment has been terminated early.
  • Defaulted: Patients whose treatment was interrupted for two or more consecutive months for any reason without medical approval.
  • Died: Patients who died for any reason.
  • Transferred Out: Patients who transferred to another facility.
  • Still on treatment: Patients who have not yet completed treatment (that is, have no TREATMENT OUTCOME set).
  • Total: Total of all of the above. This group should exclude the following patients:
    • Patients whose DST did not meet the criteria of multidrug-resistance, and whose Category IV treatment was therefore cancelled (TREATMENT OUTCOME = DRUG SENSITIVE)
    • Patients whose outcome is unknown due to loss of paper files, and who could not be contacted (TREATMENT OUTCOME = LOST TO FOLLOWUP)

Rows:

All are calculated based on the MDR-TB program workflow “CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO PREVIOUS DRUG USE”. See definitions in WHO Form 05 section.

  • New
  • Previously treated with first-line drugs only
  • Previously treated with both first- and second-line drugs.

Data Quality Checks:

  • Ensure that all patients with an intake form or lab result recorded have been enrolled in the MDR-TB program at a location.
  • Ensure that treatment start dates are correct.
  • Ensure that all smear and culture results have been entered and that conversion status is correct.
  • Ensure that patient outcomes are up to date (and that outcome dates are correct).
    • Check for patients who meet the criteria of “Cured”, “Completed”, “Failed” and “Defaulted” but are not set to that state, and vice versa
  • Check for patients who do not have a PREVIOUS DRUG USE status.

Outcome Report

Report on patient outcomes by Category IV registration group for patients who started treatment during a given time period
Base cohort: All patients enrolled in MDR-TB program at reporting location who started treatment on any tuberculosis regimen during the specified year (and quarter/month if specified).

Columns:

All are calculated based on workflow TREATMENT OUTCOME

  • Cured: Patients who have completed treatment and have at least five consecutive negative cultures from samples collected at least 30 days apart in the final 12 months of treatment. Doctors may mark a patient as cured if only one of the cultures is positive, but it is followed by three consecutive negative cultures and there is no concomitant clinical evidence of deterioration.

  • New: The patient has never received treatment, or if the patient has received less than one month of treatment at the time of collection of the sputum sample that was used to confirm MDR-TB.
  • Relapse: The patient previously completed treatment, and the outcome of the previous treatment was “cured” or “treatment completed”.
