Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading infectious-disease killer, and even when full coverage exists, mortality, missed cases and patient loss to follow-up persist. To date, no studies elucidate whether objective measures of quality correlate with whether TB patients’ felt they received appropriate care.</p> <p> </p> Tue, 03 Nov 2020 22:06:29 +0000 Paulami Sen, Ben Daniels, Ada Kwan, GiorgiaSulis, JishnuDas & Madhukar Pai 2650 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2020-africa-asia-global-health-programs-award-recipients/antibiotic-overuse-primary-health-care-setting-secondary-data-analysis-standardized-patient <h2>Abstract</h2> <h3>Background:</h3> <p>Assessing whether antibiotic prescriptions are inappropriate requires knowledge of patients’ underlying conditions, which is often challenging in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), where misdiagnoses are frequent. Using predefined cases, standardized patient (SP) studies offer unique opportunities to generate more unbiased estimates of antibiotic overuse compared to conventional methods.</p> Tue, 03 Nov 2020 21:22:42 +0000 Giorgia Sulis, Benjamin Daniels, Ada Kwan, Sumanth Gandra, Amrita Daftary, Jishnu Das, Madhukar Pai 2647 at /globalhealth
