Description
Ángela Domínguez and co-authors studied treatment of latent tuberculosis in contacts of lung TB patients in Catalonia, in a 2023 paper. In low-incidence lands, testing and treating close contacts is standard care. The team asked which traits link to a doctor prescribing that treatment. The study covered the years 2019 to 2021.
Nearly fifteen hundred contacts of 542 index patients were included. The analysis used stepwise regression to sort the factors at play. It weighed traits of the contact, the patient, and the clinic visit. Findings can show where treatment offers fall short. Closing those gaps helps stop latent infection from turning into active disease.
