在德里市区的2个直接观察治疗短期（DOTS）暨显微镜中心对90例结核病患者进行了前瞻性研究。WHOQOL-BREF（印地语）问卷用于评估治疗开始时、DOTS治疗3个月后和治疗结束时的QOL。结核病患者的总体生活质量平均得分显著低于对照组。受影响最大的领域是身体和心理。妇女在身体和环境领域的得分明显高于男子。总体生活质量评分最低的第二类和显着较低的心理和社会领域。治疗后的平均得分显着低于对照组的整体生活质量，社会和环境领域。DOTS方案改善了QOL及其领域;然而，与健康对照组相比，它们仍然受到显着影响
A prospective study was conducted on 90 patients of tuberculosis at 2 directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) cum microscopy centers in an urban area of Delhi. The WHOQOL-BREF (Hindi) questionnaire was used to assess the QOL at the onset of treatment, after 3 months of treatment under DOTS, and at completion of treatment. Patients with tuberculosis had significantly lower mean scores than controls for overall QOL. The most affected domains were physical and psychological. Women scored significantly better than men in the physical and environmental domains. Overall QOL scores were lowest for category II and significantly lower for the psychological and social domains. The mean scores after treatment were significantly lower than controls for overall QOL, the social and environmental domains. The DOTS regimen improves the QOL and its domains; however, they remain significantly affected compared to the healthy controls
