TB Performance Indicator - Percentage of TB Notified Patients with Universal Drug Susceptibility Testing (UDST) Done
This indicator measures the efforts by the programme to get the Universal Drug Susceptibility testing done for TB patients.
Indicator | Numerator | Denominator | Multiplier | Data source |
% of TB notified patients with UDST done | Number of TB patients with UDST done | Total number of TB patients notified during the defined period | 100 | Ni-kshay |
- Number of patients with UDST done includes all the TB patients with drug susceptibility testing to at least Rifampicin done.
- UDST is not possible for all TB patients. For example, specimens may not be available for testing in extrapulmonary. The aim is to do UDST for all the cases with specimens available for testing.
- The denominator includes the net notified cases.
- States can set a benchmark to be achieved for this indicator, around 70% is desirable.
Example:
In District X, the number of notified TB cases in a year is 600. Out of them, 300 underwent UDST. Out of them, 10 patients are resistant to Rifampicin.
% TB notified cases with UDST done = (300 * 100) / 600 = 50%

Numerator and Denominator
Description
Data source
Number of patients with UDST done in the defined period in the specific TU/ District/State (Numerator)
Includes all the TB patients with Drug susceptibility testing (to at least Rifampicin) is done.
UDST may not be possible for some forms of TB where specimen for testing is not available (eg- spine TB).
Ni-kshay
Total TB patients notified during defined period in the specific TU/ District/State (Denominator)
All the TB cases notified in the defined period is included
Ni-kshay
Example-
In a district X, the number of notified TB cases in a year is 600. Out of them 300 underwent UDST . Out of them 10 patients are resistant to Rifampicin.
% TB notified cases with UDST done = = 50%
