Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health issue of paramount importance. Pakistan ranks 5th amongst the high burden TB countries globally with the prevalence, incidence and mortality per 100,000 population per year from TB being 348, 276 and 34 respectively. Socio-economic determinants like income, house, family size, ventilation, etc. play a vital role in the epidemiology of TB. Aim: To analyzes the socioeconomic determinants of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) during Covid-19 pandemic. Study Design: Case study Methodology: This case-control study was undertaken at Gulab Devi Hospital, Lahore, over a period of 8 months. 50 cases of confirmed Pulmonary tuberculosis and 50 controls were interviewed using a questionnaire containing demographic variables like gender, age, and socioeconomic status. Data was analyzed by using SPSS Results: The sociodemographic profile of our respondents showed that 62 (62%) were males, 55 (55%) belonged to rural areas and, 52(52%) were employed. The socioeconomic determinants which were significantly associated with PTB were gender, residence, occupation, number of family members, and history of smoking. Practical Implementation: Due to the emerging nature of the COVID-19 crisis, this study helped researchers investigate the role of socio-economical determinant of TB during Covid-19 pandemic infection. Conclusion: Gender, residence, occupation, number of family members, and history of smoking were significantly associated with PTB. However, ventilation, family history of TB, and previous history of PTB were not found to have a statistically significant association with PTB. Keywords: Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Covid-19, Incidence, Pandemic Condition and Socioeconomic Determinants.

“…En el caso de Argentina, se han documentado determinantes que explican 43% de la variabilidad de la tasa de incidencia de TB, como el hacinamiento, la falta de saneamiento básico y la proporción de pacientes que interrumpieron el tratamiento (15). En Colombia, la epidemia de TB se concentra entre las personas privadas de libertad (7,0%) y la población indígena (5,5%), y se registra un aumento de TB en la población procedente del exterior (93% de Venezuela) desde el año 2018 (16).…”

Objetivo. Determinar el comportamiento de los indicadores de incidencia de tuberculosis (TB) y número de muertes por TB en el marco de la meta 3.3 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y su correlación con los determinantes sociales. Métodos. Se utilizó una metodología de estudio ecológico, en el cual la unidad de análisis es la población. Para el análisis de los determinantes sociales, se hizo uso del modelo de regresión binomial negativo y la fuerza de asociación. Resultados. En las Américas se ha presentado una disminución promedio anual en la tasa de incidencia de TB de 0,3% entre 2009 y 2018; sin embargo, de 2015 a 2018 ha habido un aumento, pasando de 27,6 a 28,8 por 100 000 habitantes. Con respecto a los determinantes sociales, los grupos de países con índice de desarrollo humano (IDH) y producto interno bruto (PIB) más bajos tienen una incidencia de TB más alta. El riesgo de TB en el país con IDH más bajo es seis veces mayor que en el país con IDH más alto. Conclusiones. Al ritmo de la disminución actual de la tasa de incidencia y del número de muertes por TB, la Región de las Américas no alcanzará las metas propuestas en los ODS y en la Estrategia Fin de la TB. Se requiere una implementación y expansión rápidas de las intervenciones en prevención y control de TB para lograrlo. Esto implica, entre otras acciones, reducir las barreras de acceso al diagnóstico y tratamiento y fortalecer las iniciativas para abordar los determinantes sociales.

“…We de ned the incidence (per 100 people) of infectious diseases as the number of annual new incident cases divided by the annual population size. Some factors, including social, economic, political, and environmental factors [9], which contribute directly to health and disease, are de ned as social determinants of health [10]. We sorted the factors into four aspects, namely, social factors, economic factors, demographic factors and hygiene factors, in this research.…”

Background: The social order of the whole world has been disrupted since the COVID-19 outbreak. In China, we added novel coronavirus pneumonia to the list of Class B notifiable infectious diseases, and we placed Class A notifiable infectious diseases under strict monitoring. Therefore, it is significant that we study the features and social determinants of the incidence of both Class A and B infectious diseases.Methods: We analyzed the annual percentage change in the incidence of overall infectious diseases and the four main diseases by descriptive statistics analysis, estimated the differences in the incidence of infections in seven regions over 15 years by using a generalized estimation equation (GEE), and then determined social determinants affecting these infectious diseases by using a panel data model.Results: The incidence of overall Class A and B infectious diseases has been declining since January 2004. The infectious diseases with the highest yearly incidence were hepatitis, tuberculosis, syphilis, and bacterial and amoebic dysentery, with an incidence rate that has remained stable over the past 15 years. The locations of disease incidence in ascending order from low to high was East China, Northeast China, North China, Southwest China, Central China, South China, and Northwest China (c2=68.60 p<0.001). The changes in the characteristics of yearly incidence varied (c2=44.84 p<0.001). We found that two determinants, namely, percentage of people with illiteracy in the total population aged 15 years and older (p=0.01) and number of family health service people per capita (p<0.001), were positive for infectious diseases. Three determinants, including public green areas per capita (p<0.001), number of public transportation vehicles per 10 000 people (p=0.02) and area of paved roads per capita (p<0.001), were negative for infectious diseases.Conclusions: We successfully prevented and controlled Class A and B infectious diseases after the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003. Over the years, hepatitis and tuberculosis have had the highest incidence among infectious diseases and thus more attention needs to be given to these diseases. Social determinants had a significant influence on infectious diseases. Some strategies related to social determinants are needed to prevent infectious diseases.
