In 2011, bi-directional screening for tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) was recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), although how best to implement the activity was not clear. In India, with early engagement of national programme managers and all important stakeholders, a countrywide, multicentre operational research (OR) project was designed in October 2011 and completed in 2012. The results led to a rapid national policy decision to routinely screen all TB patients for DM in September 2012. The process, experience and enablers of implementing this unique and successful collaborative model of operational research are presented.
2011年,世界卫生组织(WHO)建议对结核病(TB)和糖尿病(DM)进行双向筛查,不过对于如何以最佳方式开展这项活动尚不清楚。在印度,由于国家项目管理人员和所有重要利益相关者的早期参与,于2011年10月设计了一个全国性的多中心运筹学(OR)项目,并于2012年完成。这些结果促使在2012年9月迅速做出一项全国性政策决定,即对所有结核病患者进行糖尿病常规筛查。本文介绍了实施这种独特且成功的运筹学协作模式的过程、经验和推动因素。
