We systematically reviewed Medline as well as the references of published review articles for relevant studies of adherence to multidrug treatment of both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB through February 3, 2018. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as well as prospective and retro...spective cohort studies (CSs) with an internal or external control group that evaluated any adherence intervention and conducted a meta-analysis of their impact on TB treatment outcomes. Our search identified 7,729 articles, of which 129 met the inclusion criteria for quantitative analysis. Seven adherence categories were identified, including DOT offered by different providers and at various locations, reminders and tracers, incentives and enablers, patient education, digital technologies (short message services [SMSs] via mobile phones and video-observed therapy [VOT]), staff education, and combinations of these interventions.

Бюро ВОЗ в Украине инициировало написание этого отчета для оценки развития
интегрированных услуг для людей употребляющих наркотики в рамках ответа Украины на эп...демию ВИЧ. После комплексной оценки работы украинских программ интегрированной помощи в 2009 году, три сайта в Днепропетровске, Кривом Роге, и Симферополе были определены как отвечающие высоким стандартам, и на примере работы которых смогут научиться другие программы. Они еще далеки от совершенства, однако каждый сайт показал выдающийся прогресс во внедрении интегрированных услуг. Целью данной публикации является представление опыта этих реальных практических моделей для Украинского правительства и неправительственных
организаций, работающих над развитием интегрированного подхода в других учреждениях.
