Risk factors for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: A worldwide systematic review and meta-analysis

Ying Xi et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify factors independently predicting multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The results revealed that positive sputum acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear, lung cavity, previous TB disease, and a history of anti-TB therapy were significant risk factors for MDR-TB. These findings have important implications for global TB control.

Pragmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Qualitative Analysis of Human Resource Constraints in a Resource-Limited Country context-Ethiopia

Kirubel Manyazewal Mussie et al.

Summary: The study identified major challenges faced by healthcare workers providing DR-TB care in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, including inadequate training, fear of infection, heavy workload, and limited resources. Current DR-TB care policies need to address these human resource constraints, and new evidence and best practices are needed to improve implementation and meet global TB strategies in resource-limited countries.
