TB Performance Indicator - Percentage of TB Notified Patients with Universal Drug Susceptibility Testing (UDST) Done   

 

This indicator measures the efforts by the programme to get the Universal Drug Susceptibility testing done for TB  patients.

Indicator Numerator Denominator Multiplier Data source
% of TB notified patients with UDST done Number of TB patients with UDST done Total number of TB patients notified during  the defined period 100 Ni-kshay

 

  • Number of patients with UDST done includes all the TB patients with drug susceptibility testing to at least Rifampicin done.
  • UDST is not possible for all TB patients. For example, specimens may not be available for testing in extrapulmonary. The aim is to do UDST for all the cases with specimens available for testing.
  • The denominator includes the net notified cases.
  • States can set a benchmark to be achieved for this indicator, around 70% is desirable.

 

Example:

In District X, the number of notified TB cases in a year is 600. Out of them, 300 underwent UDST. Out of them, 10 patients are resistant to Rifampicin.

% TB notified cases with UDST done = (300 * 100) / 600 = 50%

TB Performance Indicator 3- Percentage of TB notified patients with Universal Drug Susceptibility Testing (UDST) done   

This indicator measures the efforts taken to offer drug susceptibility testing to TB  patients

% of TB notified patients with UDST done=                                                                 

                                                                                

                                    

Numerator and Denominator

Description

Data  source

Number of patients with UDST done in the defined period in the specific TU/ District/State (Numerator)

Includes all the TB patients with Drug susceptibility testing (to at least Rifampicin)  is done.

 

UDST may not be possible for some  forms of TB where specimen for testing is not available (eg- spine TB).

 

 

 

Ni-kshay

 

Total TB patients notified during defined period in the specific TU/ District/State (Denominator)

                                           

                                  

 

All the TB  cases notified  in the defined period is included

 

 

Ni-kshay

 

Example-

In a district X, the number of notified TB cases in a year is 600. Out of them 300 underwent UDST . Out of them 10 patients are resistant to Rifampicin.

% TB notified cases with UDST done =   = 50%

 

  • UDST should be done for all cases of TB where specimen is available for testing.
  • Specimen may not be available for some TB patients hence attaining 100%  UDST is practically impossible.
  • The desirable bench mark set by state for this indicator is 70%
