Abstract
This review aims to study the delays of patients and health systems in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis and factors related to delay in patients and health systems in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. A systematic review the selection criteria is that the delay in the patient and the health system of pulmonary tuberculosis research has found that there are 16 studies in 2006-2018 in 19 countries. The results of the study were 9,421 samples. The median delay of patients was 24 days (IQR = 13.8-31.0, Min-Max = 4.4-205.2). Median Delay of Diagnosis 55 Days (IQR = 36.0-88.0, Min-Max = 35.0-91.0) Median Delay of Treatment for 2 Days (IQR = 1.0-2.6, Min-Max = 1.0-3.1) Median Delay of the 15-day health service system (IQR = 4.5-43.5, Min-Max = 2.0-150.7) and median total delay of 45 days (IQR = 35.0-70.5, Min-Max = 9.4-356.0) and Delayed factors are divided into five categories: Demographic features, social, economic, behavioral, therapeutic, clinical, and health insurance. Creased proactive search for patients in the community to receive faster treatment. The development of a quality public health service should cover the screening of tuberculosis. TB treatment strategies should be developed to match the factors.
