    Effective interventions for tuberculosis control in contacts
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-08) Saravia Campos, Estela Isolina; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
    Systematic Reviews are an observational and retrospective research design that synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies. They are an essential part of evidence-based medicine due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions in clinical practice. The systematic review of the six scientific articles on effective interventions for tuberculosis control was conducted through the following databases: Cochrane Plus, Lilacs, Scielo, and Lipecs. All of them correspond to quantitative research and systematic review study designs (one), quasi-experimental (one), and cross-sectional (four studies). The articles included in this academic work agree that the evidence is insufficient to demonstrate whether active case-finding programs or screening for tuberculosis will improve the diagnosis rate among contacts of tuberculosis patients or reduce the tuberculosis rate in the community. Public managers should implement health policies considering other competing priorities for the limited available health resources. This approach has led to markedly different strategies in countries with low and high prevalence.
