Table 6.

Projected outcomes over 20 years with progressive addition of interventions that improve general TB services plus MDR diagnosis and treatment in Kazakhstan (per 1000 persons from general population)

Category of intervention Scenario Primary active cases arising in cohort over 20 years 1 Total projected outcomes related to the primary active cases
Death during diagnosis and treatment phase Cure due to treatment Secondary cases generated from primary cases Health system costs
Baseline 15 · 28 10 · 05 0 · 62 22 · 99 $5,238 · 87
General Health System Interventions Improved diagnosis to detect 100% of TB cases in public sector (DS and MDR) 15 · 28 7 · 67 1 · 57 17 · 07 $12,292 · 55
Above & improved treatment to achieve 100% cure for DS in public sector 15 · 28 4 · 96 8 · 60 12 · 22 $12,354 · 14
Above & reduced loss to follow up in public sector 15 · 28 2 · 70 11 · 53 7 · 23 $16,351 · 62
MDR-TB related interventions Above & Improve DST coverage to 100% 15 · 28 2 · 59 11 · 72 6 · 96 $18,441 · 46
Above & Improved treatment coverage so that all MDR cases diagnosed get standard MDR therapy 15 · 28 2 · 07 12 · 61 5 · 66 $27,327 · 96
Above & New MDR drugs so treatment outcomes are as good as drug sensitive TB cases 15 · 28 1 · 85 13 · 11 5 · 41 $28,513 · 34

1Primary cases are those which would arise from reactivation of pre-existing latent TB infection, or progression from newly acquired infection, but do NOT include cases arising from transmission from the primary cases.
