RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Contacts of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) cases are at high risk of TB infection and progression to disease. Close and household contacts and those <5 years old have the highest risk. Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) can largely prevent TB disease among infected individuals. International and Peruvian recommendations include TB contact investigation and IPT prescription to eligible contacts. We conducted a study in Lima, Peru, to determine the number of close and household contacts who were evaluated, started on IPT, and who completed it, and the factors associated to compliance with national guidelines. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal retrospective study including all TB cases diagnosed between January 2015 and July 2016 in 13 health facilities in south Lima. Treatment cards, TB registers and clinical files were reviewed and data on index cases (sex, age, smear status, TB treatment outcome), contact investigation (sex, age, kinship to the index case, evaluations at month 0, 2 and 6) and health facility (number of TB cases notified per year, proportion of TB cases with treatment success) were extracted. We tabulated frequencies of contact evaluation by contact and index case characteristics. To investigate determinants of IPT initiation and completion, we used generalised linear mixed models. RESULTS: A total of 2323 contacts were reported by 662 index cases; the median number of contacts per case was four (IQR, 2-5). Evaluation at month 0 was completed by 99.2% (255/257) of contacts <5 and 98.1% (558/569) of contacts aged 5-19 years. Of 191 eligible contacts <5 years old, 70.2% (134) started IPT and 31.4% (42) completed it. Of 395 contacts 5-19 years old, 36.7% (145) started IPT and 32.4% (47) completed it. Factors associated to not starting IPT among contacts <5 years old were being a second-degree relative to the index case (OR 6.6 95CI% 2.6-16.5), not having received a tuberculin skin test (TST) (OR 3.9 95%CI 1.4-10.8), being contact of a smear-negative index case (OR 5.5 95%CI 2.0-15.1) and attending a low-caseload health facility (OR 2.8 95%CI 1.3-6.2). Factors associated to not starting IPT among 5-19 year-olds were age (OR 13.7 95%CI 5.9-32.0 for 16-19 vs. 5-7 years old), being a second-degree relative (OR 3.0 95%CI 1.6-5.6), not having received a TST (OR 5.4, 95%CI 2.5-11.8), being contact of a male index case (OR 2.1 95CI% 1.2-3.5), with smear-negative TB (OR 1.9 95%CI 1.0-3.6), and attending a high-caseload health facility (OR 2.1 95%CI 1.2-3.6). Factors associated to not completing IPT, among contacts who started, were not having received a TST (OR 3.4 95%CI 1.5-7.9 for <5 year-olds, and OR 4.3 95%CI 1.7-10.8 for those 5-19 years old), being contact of an index case with TB treatment outcome other than success (OR 9.3 95%CI 2.6-33.8 for <5 year-olds and OR 15.3 95%CI 1.9-125.8 for those 5-19 years old), and, only for those 5-19 years old, attending a health facility with high caseload (OR 3.2 95%CI 1.4-7.7) and a health facility with low proportion of TB cases with treatment success (OR 4.4 95%CI 1.9-10.2). CONCLUSIONS: We found partial compliance to TB contact investigation, and identified contact, index case and health facility-related factors associated to IPT start and completion that can guide the TB programme in increasing coverage and quality of this fundamental activity.


OBJECTIF: Les contacts des cas de tuberculose (TB) pulmonaire présentent un risque élevé d'infection à la TB et d'évolution vers la maladie. Les contacts étroits et familiaux et ceux de moins de 5 ans sont les plus à risque. Le traitement préventif à l'isoniazide (TPI) peut largement prévenir la maladie TB chez les personnes infectées. Nous avons mené une étude à Lima, au Pérou, pour déterminer le nombre de contacts proches et familiaux qui ont été évalués, qui ont commencé le TPI et qui l'ont achevé, ainsi que les facteurs associés au respect des directives nationales. MÉTHODES: Etude longitudinal rétrospective de tous les cas de TB diagnostiqués entre janvier 2015 et juillet 2016 dans 13 établissements de santé dans le sud de Lima. Les cartes de traitement, les registres de TB et les dossiers cliniques ont été examinés et des données sur les cas indice, l'investigation des contacts et les établissements de santé ont été extraites. Nous avons tabulé les fréquences d'évaluation des contacts par les caractéristiques des contacts et des cas indice. Pour étudier les déterminants de l'initiation et de l'achèvement du TPI, nous avons utilisé des modèles linéaires mixtes généralisés. RÉSULTATS: Au total, 2.323 contacts ont été rapportés par 662 cas indice; 70,2% des contacts âgés de moins de 5 ans ont commencé le TPI et 31,4% l'ont terminé, tandis que 36,7% des contacts âgés de 5 à 19 ans ont commencé le TPI et 32,4% l'ont terminé. Les facteurs associés au fait de ne pas commencer ou de terminer le TPI étaient: être un parent de second degré du cas indice, ne pas avoir reçu le test tuberculinique, être le contact d'un cas indice à frottis négatif et fréquenter un établissement de santé à faible charge de travail pour les moins de cinq ans contre fréquenter un établissement de santé à charge de travail élevée pour les contacts plus âgés. CONCLUSIONS: Nous avons constaté une compliance partielle à l'enquête sur les contacts de la TB, et avons identifié les facteurs liés aux contacts, aux cas indice et aux établissements de santé associés au début et à la fin du TPI qui peuvent guider le programme de TB dans l'augmentation de sa couverture et de sa qualité.
