为评估东地中海区域22个国家的病例发现过程的效率，开发了一个假想模型。该模型基于患者从社区到结核病管理单位的循序渐进的护理路径。使用控制结核病战略每个组成部分的指标来衡量绩效，并制定了一个评分系统。随后报告了与结核病病例发现显著相关的指标。这一工具可协助各国评估其监测系统在侦破病例方面的效率。
A hypothetical model has been developed to evaluate the efficiency of the case-finding process in 22 countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region. The model is based on the patient's pathway to care in a stepwise approach from the community to the tuberculosis (TB) management units. Performance was measured using indicators for each of the components of the Stop TB strategy, and a scoring system was developed. The indicators significantly associated with TB case detection were then reported. This tool can assist countries in evaluating the efficiency of their surveillance system in detecting cases.
