| dc.description.abstract | Objectives: To study the impact of Revised National TB Control Programme on mortality among tuberculosis patients in Delhi and to correlate mortality trends with programme indicators. Methods: Record based evaluation of mortality trends from TB registers of all chest clinics of Delhi after implementation of Revised National TB Control Programme. Results: The study showed a statistically significant decline in tuberculosis mortality among new smear positive cases after the implementation of Revised National TB Control Programme (z=4.478 p<0.05). The mortality among new smear negative and extra pulmonary cases also showed reduction, though not statistically significant. Conclusion: Mortality due to tuberculosis has been considerably reduced in Delhi over the years with the Revised National TB Control Programme implementation since 1997. | en_US |
