A systematic literature review was performed to investigate the occurrence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) in prisons located in countries formerly part of the Soviet Union.
A systematic search of published studies reporting MDR TB occurrence in prisons located in former Soviet countries was conducted by probing PubMed and Cumulative Index Nursing and Allied Health Literature for articles that met predetermined inclusion criteria.
Seventeen studies were identified for systematic review. Studies were conducted in six different countries. Overall, prevalence of MDR TB among prisoners varied greatly between studies. Our findings suggest a high prevalence of MDR TB in prisons of Post-Soviet states with percentages as high as 16 times more than the worldwide prevalence estimated by the WHO in 2014.
All studies suggested a high prevalence of MDR TB in prison populations in Post-Soviet states.
开展了一项系统的文献综述，以调查前苏联国家监狱中耐多药结核病（MDR-TB）的发生情况。
通过检索PubMed以及护理与联合健康文献累积索引，对符合预定纳入标准的报道前苏联国家监狱中耐多药结核病发生情况的已发表研究进行系统检索。
共确定17项研究进行系统综述。这些研究在6个不同国家开展。总体而言，不同研究中囚犯耐多药结核病的患病率差异很大。我们的研究结果表明，后苏联国家监狱中耐多药结核病的患病率很高，高达2014年世界卫生组织估计的全球患病率的16倍。
所有研究均表明后苏联国家监狱人群中耐多药结核病的患病率很高。
