Learning ObjectivesNTEP Performance Indicator – Percentage Of Multidrug-resistant (MDR)/ Rifampicin-resistant (RR) Patients Initiated on Treatment Out of Totally Diagnosed
NTEP Performance Indicator – Percentage Of Multidrug-resistant (MDR)/ Rifampicin-resistant (RR) Patients Initiated on Treatment Out of Totally Diagnosed
This is an indicator to monitor Programmatic Management of Drug-resistant TB (PMDT).
Indicator | Numerator | Denominator | Multiplier | Data source |
Percentage of MDR/ RR-TB patients initiated on treatment out of totally diagnosed | Number of MDR/ RR-TB patients started on treatment during the defined time period | Total number of diagnosed cases of MDR/ RR-TB during the defined time period | 100 | PMDT quarterly reports |
The numerator includes all the cases of MDR and RR initiated on treatment during the defined period.
Example:
District X has a total of 2 cases of RR-TB alone and one case of MDR-TB diagnosed in the first quarter of 2021. Two among them were initiated on MDR-TB treatment.
% MDR-TB initiated on treatment out of totally diagnosed during the first quarter of 2021 = {2/ (2+1)} * 100 = 66.6%
