Full description

Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is an ongoing challenge in the Torres Strait Islands (TSI) / Papua New Guinea (PNG) border region. Treatment success rates have historically been poor for patients diagnosed with DR-TB, leading to increased transmission. Further, delays between self-reported symptom onset and commencement of effective treatment contribute to ongoing tuberculosis (TB) transmission, is a particular concern in patients with drug-resistant (DR)-TB. This study identified variables associated with unfavourable outcome in patients diagnosed with DR-TB to inform programmatic improvements and assessed improvements in time to commencement of effective treatment in patients diagnosed with DR-TB in the Torres Strait–Papua New Guinea cross-border region.

Study population: All residents of the Torres Strait Islands and Papua New Guinea nationals who presented to health facilities in the Torres Strait and were diagnosed with drug-resistant-TB between 2000 and 2020

This record consists of:

  • 1 SPSS (.sav) file containing the spatiotemporal mapping of drug-resistant TB
  • 1 SPSS (.sav) file containing data on the time to commencement of effective treatment in patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis
  • 1 SPSS (.sav) file which contains a Multiple Imputation Dataset for Predictors of unfavourable outcome in patients diagnosed with drug-resistant tuberculosis
  • 1 SPSS (.sav) file with the full dataset of the 133 patients
  • 1 README (.txt) file which contains dataset definitions and variables

Data files are also saved in csv. format

Software/equipment used to store/analyse the data: SPSS and Microsoft Excel
