“…It was followed by 41 to 50 years affecting 28 (68.3%) of 41 cases, though this difference was not found statistically significant with p value of 0.24. Similar higher percentages were seen in other studies by Hoşoğlu S, Anderson NE and Molavi et al [14][15][16] But they used slight different age groups like 25 to 40 years where higher number of TBM was found. Why this age group was found more vulnerable to disease is not known.…”

Tuberculosis meningitis (TBM) is a serious public health problem in developing countries as it leads to significant mortality and residual neurological squeal. The estimated mortality due to TBM in Asia is 1.5 per 100,000 populations. Objectives: To determine the frequency of hydrocephalus in cases of TBM. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study conducted during July 2016 to December 2016 conducted at Department of Medicine Services Hospital, Lahore. The detailed demographic data was collected. Cases fulfilling the criteria of TBM underwent CT scan of brain (with IV contrast) for confirmation of TBM at the Department of Radiology, Sheikh Zayed hospital Rahim Yar Khan. Results: In this study there were 93 cases, out of which 54 were males and 39 females with mean of 34.13±9.45 years. Hydrocephalus was seen in 61 (65.59%) out of 93 cases of TBM. It was seen significantly higher in male group where it caused it in 40 out of 54 males (74.1%) with p value of 0.04 (table 1). In context of age groups with respect to hydrocephalus it was seen maximum in patients with age group of 31 to 40 years affecting 12 (80%) out of 15 of its respective group. It was followed by 41 to 50 years affecting 28 (68.3%) of 41 cases, though this difference was not found statistically significant with p value of 0.24. Hydrocephalus was observed maximum in stage I of TBM where it affected 4 out of 5 cases followed by stage II with 36 of 52 cases and then stage III with 21 of 36 patients. This difference was also not significant with p= 0.44. Conclusion: Hydrocephalus is an important and deadly complication of tuberculous meningitis and is noted in every 2 (65.59%) out of 3 cases. There is significant association of male gender with hydrocephalus.

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, now part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as ...
