South Africa programs / INROADS: Innovations Research on HIV/AIDS
Background. Little up-to-date information is available about the costs of providing drug-susceptible tuberculosis (DS-TB) treatment to paediatric patients in South Africa (SA), nor have actual costs incurred at clinics been compared with costs expected from guidelines. <br /> Objectives. To estimate actual and guideline treatment costs by means of a retrospective cohort analysis. <br /> Methods. We report patient characteristics, outcomes and treatment costs from a retrospective cohort of paediatric and adolescent (< 18 years) DS-TB patients registered for treatment from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2013 at three primary healthcare clinics in Johannesburg, SA. Actual treatment costs in 2015 SA rands and US dollars were estimated from the provider perspective using a standard bottom-up microcosting approach and compared with an estimate of guideline costs. <br /> Results. We enrolled 88 DS-TB patients (median age 4 years (interquartile range 1.0 -9.5), 44.3% female, 22.7% HIV co-infected, 92.0% pulmonary TB). Treatment success was high (89.8%; 13.6% cured, 76.1% completed treatment), and the mean (standard deviation (SD)) cost per patient with treatment success was ZAR1 820/ USD143 (

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
