The results of a tuberculosis (TB) active case finding (ACF) program, implemented by International Care Ministries (ICM) in the Philippines, were examined to understand how the presence of physical symptoms might influence ACF outcomes among extreme low-income Filipinos.
ICM health staff implemented symptom screening in villages and suspected cases were referred to the closest rural health unit (RHU) for TB testing.
ACF was carried out in Mindanao and the Visayas, across 16 different provinces.
All participants were interviewed pre/postprogram, and screening outcomes were collected.
A multilevel regression model was constructed to explore the effect of factors on the likelihood of getting tested.
A total of 4635 individuals were screened; 1290 (27.8%) were symptom positive and referred.
From those referred, 336 (7.2%) were tested for TB and 53 (1.1%) were TB positive.
“Cough for more than two weeks” was associated with a 1.09 (95% CI 1.01, 1.15) times increase in likelihood of getting tested.
The finding that the presence of cough is associated with higher rate of testing suggests that individuals in these settings might not know or believe that the lack of cough does not equate to lack of TB infection.
While technologies and screening algorithms give us the ability to refine the ‘supply’ side of the TB screening, addressing the knowledge gap should improve ‘demand’.
