Apoteker-ledede digitale interventioner til forbedring af tuberkulosebehandling Adhæsion (CARE-TB)

6. oktober 2026 opdateret af: University of Malaya

Omfattende digital tilslutning og fjernengagement for at optimere behandling af behandlingen for tuberkulosepatienter (Care-TB-undersøgelse) i Selangor, Malaysia: En effektivitetsimplementeringsvidenskabelig undersøgelse

The gold standard for tuberculosis (TB) treatment support requires directly observed therapy (DOT), which means a trained health worker observes the patient swallow each dose of medication every day for 2 months. Despite the practice of DOT in Malaysia, 1 in 20 patients are loss-to-follow-up and non-adherent to treatment. Sub-optimal adherence due to poor treatment acceptability and social desirability promotes TB treatment failure, disease relapse, on-going transmission, drug resistance, and death. Telemedicine offers a flexible and less invasive option to support TB treatment adherence. Despite 97% internet and smartphone penetration rates, the practical implementation of digital adherence strategies to support and monitor TB treatment remains untested in Malaysia. The investigators propose to design, implement, and measure the effectiveness of a comprehensive, pharmacist-led digital solution for TB treatment support called CARE-TB which combines a package of asynchronous video-observed therapy, digital reminders, telecounselling and e-learning. In this multi-method effectiveness-implementation (Type 2) study using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) framework, the investigators aim 1) To identify patient and provider-level facilitators and barriers to CARE-TB adoption via qualitative evaluation and to design a stakeholder-informed implementation strategy, (2) To assess effectiveness of CARE-TB strategy by evaluating (i) implementation outcomes, (ii) patient health outcomes, and (iii) service outcomes, and (3) To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of CARE-TB compared to standard of care from a societal perspective. This study will leverage digital platforms to expand the reach of TB adherence support, enhance adherence to TB treatment and improve treatment completion rates, while utilising existing personnel and resources in among the busiest TB treatment centres in the country.

Tidsramme
Adherence rate (Continuous outcome)
Tidsramme: 8 weeks following enrolment

Proportion of doses observed over 8 weeks (Dose observed divided by total observable doses prescribed)

8 weeks following enrolment
Proportion of TB treatment completion, death, loss to follow up, and hospitalization
Tidsramme: From enrolment till 6 months or treatment completion/ termination

Proportion of patients completing TB treatment, died, are lost to follow-up or hospitalized during TB treatment

From enrolment till 6 months or treatment completion/ termination
TB cure rate
Tidsramme: At 6 months of treatment

Proportion of microbiological TB clearance (e.g. AFB smear/ MTB PCR/ MTB culture)

EQ-5D-5L Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL)
Tidsramme: At baseline, 2 months and 6 months of treatment

HRQoL will be assessed using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire.

Unit of Measure: EQ-5D index score (range: -0.281 to 1.000 based on country-specific value set)

Interpretation: Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.

SF-12 Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL)
Tidsramme: At baseline and 2 months of treatment

The 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) will be used to assess participants' health-related quality of life. Two summary scores will be generated: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS).

The scoring scale is from 0 to 100, the higher the score the better the health related quality of life.

Unit of Measure: Total and individual mean scores on 5-point Likert scale (1 = completely disagree, 5 = completely agree)

Scoring: Each subscale consists of 4 items; subscale scores range from 4 to 20

Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater perceived acceptability, feasibility, or appropriateness of the intervention
