19 Challenges in TB data reporting: Routine Surveillance Timeline Content Treatment Outcome

20 Timeline for the optimal for reporting to European level Annual for the moment Annual process fairly seamless now Future. Automated web based monthly upload through Tessy Automated reported will be the next test

21 Content of variables No major concerns with existing variables Some standard Tessy fields may not be collected nationally e.g. travel Definition of variables 'MajorSiteofTBDisease' or MinorSiteofTBDisease' coded value option for Laryngeal TB? ResultMicroscopy' sputum or other smears? Matching of data drug resistance / strain typing Changes

22 Challenges in TB data reporting : Treatment outcome monitoring Categories clear and consistent with national criteria Cured often a difficult category Outcome at 24 months only collected for a subset Outcome at 36 months not collected
