Slide 25. Mode of Treatment Administration
in Persons Reported with TB, United States, 1993–2002.
In 1993, the reporting areas began collecting information about
mode of treatment administration on the individual TB case report
form. Treatment administered as only directly observed therapy
(DOT) increased from approximately 22% in 1993 to 55% in 2002, the
latest year with available data. The proportion of patients who
received at least some portion of their treatment as DOT (based
on combining the percentage of patients who received only DOT and
the percentage for whom some portion was self-administered) also
increased. In 2002, the proportion of patients who received at
least some portion of their treatment as DOT was 83.1%. |
