Article Synopsis
- - In Togo, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the implementation of two community-level treatment strategies for tuberculosis (TB): community health worker-based (CHW-DOT) and family-based (FB-DOT), evaluated from April 2021 to January 2022.
- - A study involving 182 TB patients found that the CHW-DOT approach significantly improved sputum conversion rates and resulted in more favorable treatment outcomes compared to FB-DOT.
- - Factors such as smoking status were crucial, with non-smokers showing notably better treatment results, indicating that incorporating smoking cessation support into the CHW-DOT approach could enhance TB treatment efficacy.
