Description

Data collected as part of a facility-based prospective cohort study conducted in public (government) Tuberculosis (TB) Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) clinics in the Philippine. This dataset contains individual-level information that used in a cross-sectional analysis of selected data collected from the St-ATT cohort of Filipino adults at baseline who were enrolled within 5 days of initiating a new tuberculosis treatment regimen. Study information is available in the ISRCTN Registry ID: 16347615.

Additional information

Research participants were enrolled in the study on the basis that anonymised data and any remaining sputum/blood samples would be made available only to health researchers who had obtained ethics approval to perform research related to TB, for the purpose of maximizing benefit to research on the health and wellbeing of people living in the Philippines. The study authors will work with data applicants to address these conditions as quickly as possible.

Methods

Description of data capture

Data were collected from non-pregnant adults (≥ 18 years old) at enrolment into a facility-based prospective cohort study conducted in public (government) Tuberculosis (TB) Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) clinics in the Philippines (ISRCTN16347615). Persons with bacteriologically confirmed or a clinical diagnosis of pulmonary TB were eligible. Data were collected using structured questionnaires administered by trained research nurses and comprise clinical, anthropometric and socio-demographic variables, along with study measurements from finger prick blood samples. Participants were non-randomly selected from those newly registering in participating clinics.

Data capture method

Interview: Face-to-face, Interview: Telephone-delivery, Field observation: Participant, Lab observation: Participant
