Indicator Average Default Rate of Smear positive Re-Treatment Cases<br />

Rationale The RNTCP category II consists of a heterogeneous group of patients,<br />

most of whom are smear-positive retreatment cases. These subgroups<br />

are different bacteriologically and pathogenetically and defaults of such<br />

patients are to be minimized in order to prevent resistance to first line<br />

of drugs.<br />

Numerator Number of smear positive re-treatment cases defaulted<br />

Denominator Total number of smear positive re-treatment cases in same period<br />

Data collection Quarterly<br />

frequency<br />

Measurement TB register<br />

Tool<br />

Method of<br />

measurement<br />

Information is collected at TU level on monthly basis from TB register<br />

and subsequently collated at district level on quarterly basis. Each<br />

district report is collated at respective state level and submitted to<br />

CTD<br />

Interpretation It underscores the importance of treatment adherence for achieving<br />

success. The low treatment efficiency in MDR cases makes it prudent<br />

to prevent development of MDR during primary treatment by strict<br />

adherence to DOTS, thereby making failed cases more amenable for<br />

re-treatment regimen. The focus of treating such cases should be on<br />

prompt defaulter retrieval.<br />

Other relevant<br />

information<br />

Indicator Number of districts with new smear positive case detection<br />

rate ≥70% in 74 districts<br />

Rationale This indicator measures national TB program’s ability to diagnose and<br />

collect data on new smear-positive TB cases<br />

Numerator Count of districts with CDR of 70% or more<br />

Denominator NA<br />

Data collection Quarterly<br />

frequency<br />

Measurement Quarterly report on case finding<br />

Tool<br />

Method of Quarterly reporting and review<br />

measurement<br />

Interpretation A high case detection rate will mean that transmission by undiagnosed<br />

infectious TB patients is curtailed, leading to the impact of less TB<br />
