  3. PRESENTATION OUTLINE • EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION • IMPLEMENTATION TB/MDR TB CONTROL PROGRAMS • PROGRESS IN TB CONTROL PROGRAM • RESULTS

  4. INCIDENCE OF TB IN LATVIA 1971-2003

  5. WHO IUTLD GLOBAL SURVEY ON DRUG RESISTANCE IN LATVIA 1996 % primary MDR-TB acquired MDR-TB

  6. INCIDENCE OF MDR TB, GLOBAL TB DRUG RESISTANCE SURVEY, 1994-1996 % New Smear + Cases

  7. NTP PROGRAM RESPONSE – DOTS AND DOTS PLUS IMPLEMENTATION • Accepted first NTP, based on WHO-recommended DOTS strategy ALL FIVE ELEMENTS in 1995 • DOTS countywide including prisons in 1996 • FIRSTS STEP OF National TB Control program for treating MDR TB patients in 1997 • Established drug resistance surveillance 1997

  8. SUSTAINED POLITICAL COMMITMENT • Government Committed to establish NTP plan using existing staff and resources, within the Health Care reform • Well functioning DOTS program with additional treatment of MDRTB (within recourses available) • Collaboration and coordination between community, local governments, social services and international agencies • Established centralized procurement of drugs through open tender

  9. DOTS PLUS IMPLEMENTATION STEP I - 1997 • SITUATION ANALYSIS • Results of drug resistance surveillance • QA of laboratory for DST • MDRTB case finding strategy – • DST for all who starts treatment • Reporting and registration of MDRTB • Evaluated access to TB drugs and created new drug management system

  10. TB CASE DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF MDR-TB District-Level Smear Microscopy Regional-Level Culture Laboratories Central Laboratory - DST for all who starts treatment Central DST 95% lab accuracy (1998) Supranational Reference Laboratory (Sweden)

  11. MDR TB REPRTING AND RECORDING Mycobacteriology Lab All DST results District TB doctor Enrollment form MDRTB case MDRTB Register Follow-up form Consilium Enrollment in MDRTB cohort

  12. DOTS PLUS IMPLEMENTATION STEP II • MDRTB TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY • Established Expert consilium for case and program management 1997, June • TB hospitals reorganized for MDRTB • Start patient enrolment for treatment • Empiric/Individualized treatment strategy • according to DST results • Directly observed therapy (DOT) • Monitoring and management of side effects

  13. CONSILIUM FOR MDRTB TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT • Advantages • Collective decision • Possibility for patients to receive most effective treatment • Possibility to supervise treatment • Problem solving • Improvement of program management

  14. STRUCTURE OF DOTS-PLUS PROGRAM

  15. DOTS PLUS IMPLEMENTATION STEP III • ESTABLISHED CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM • Roles and responsibilities of HCW • Patient education • Default tracing • Improved infection control measures • Center of Excellence founded in 2000 • International training centre for treatment and management for MDRTB • Built laboratory capacity – • DST to all I and II line drugs • Rapid diagnostic methods for patient with risk of MDR-TB • Established database, data management, and information system 2002 -2003

  16. IMPROVING ALL TB AND MDRTB PATIENT ADHERANCE Departments of Welfare Agreement with TB ambulatory departments • Social Aid for TB Patients • Food coupons • Transport tickets • Extra coupon weekly • if adherence 100%

  17. DOTS PLUS PROGRAM TREATMENT COHORTS Begun in 1997

  18. DOTS PLUS IMPLEMENTATION STEP IV • ACCESS TO II LINE DRUGS • Leaving funds after procurement of I line drugs • Extra from reserved funds • DOTS-plus project accepted by WHO Green Light Committee in January 2001 • Approval for 350 patients for drugs • Full coverage with treatment • LiPA test - study to determine usefulness for early MDRTB case detection • Established database, data management, and information system 2002 -2003

  19. TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR COHORT 2000N=204 patients Completed treatment (6) Death (14) 3% Cure (129) 7% 63% 13% Default (26) 14% Failure (29)

  20. TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR NEW TB CASES AFTER DOTS AND DOTS PLUS COMPLEATION Preliminary

  21. NUMBER OF PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY ANDACQUIRED MDRTB INCLUDING PRISON 1994 - 2003 Since 1998 total number of annually registered MDRTB cases decreased by 51% for previously treated by 65%

  22. CONCLUSIONS AND RECCOMENDATIONS • DOTS strategy has reduced MDRTB development by 51% in Latvia • DOTS-Plus in addition to DOTS in settings with high MDRTB level can reach WHO goal for cure 85% • 2/3 of patients who started treatment in DOTS plus were cured • Addressing treatment default could significantly improve program effectiveness • Strengthening of the DOTS strategy, rapid MDRTB diagnosis, contact investigation and genotyping to detect chain of transmission is the next steps to improve MDRTB control in Latvia
