Slide 17: Mode of Treatment Administration
in Persons Reported with TB, United States, 1993-1998.
In 1993, the individual TB case report began collecting information on
mode of treatment administration. This slide is based on data received
at CDC by April 2001. Treatment administered under only directly observed
therapy (DOT) increased from approximately 20% in 1993 to more than 50%
in 1998, the latest year with available data. The proportion of patients
who received at least some portion of their treatment under DOT (based
on combining treatment received only under DOT and that for which some
portion was self-administered), also increased. In 1998, the proportion
of patients who received at least some portion of their treatment under
DOT was approximately 75%. |
