dc.description.abstract | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the acceptance of, adherence to, and outcomes of latent tuberculous infection (LTBI) treatment among health care workers (HCWs). DESIGN: This was a retrospective study in a tertiary hospital in Korea. From May to August 2017, 2190 HCWs simultaneously underwent a tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). LTBI was diagnosed if the TST induration was 10 mm or IGRA results were positive. RESULTS: Of 2190 HCWs tested, 1006 (45.9%) were diagnosed with LTBI. Of these, 655 (65.1%) HCWs visited out-patient clinics, 234 (35.7%) of whom were advised treatment by physicians. Among these, 120 (51.3%) accepted the physicians' recommendations. In general, HCWs who were older, male and smoked were less likely to visit out-patient clinics. Sixty (50%) HCWs received 3 months of isoniazid plus rifampicin (3HR) and 57 (47.5%) HCWs received 4 months of rifampicin (4R). The proportion of HCWs with 2 side effects (3HR 20% vs. 4R 7.0%, P = 0.041) and drug stoppage rate (3HR 20% vs. 4R 5.3%, P = 0.017) were higher in the 3HR group than in the 4R group. Of the 120 HCWs, 78 (65%) completed LTBI treatment. CONCLUSION: Overall, the acceptance and completion rate for LTBI treatment was not adequate. For effective LTBI management in HCWs, further programmatic strategies are needed. | - |
