Abstract

  Background: The 2X strategy has the potential to significantly reduce the burden on laboratories, provide a balance between the sensitivity and implementation costs of community TB screening strategies, help detect TB patients to bring patients into early treatment management, cut off sources of transmission in the community. Objectives: To determine the rate of tuberculosis infection detected through implementing the double X strategy and analyze some risk factors of tuberculosis diagnosed through implementing the double X strategy in Vinh Long province in 2023.  Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 2,160 people participating in screening in the double X strategy at medical facilities in Vinh Long province using  a set of prepared questions and data processed from SPSS 27.0 software. Results: The incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was 3.9% and latent tuberculosis was 16.6%. Some factors related to the incidence of tuberculosis such as age group ≥ 30 years old (p<0.05), gender (p< 0.001), marital status (p < 0.05), Education level from high school and above (p < 0.05); Living in the same house as someone with tuberculosis (p < 0.05) and diabetes (p< 0.05). Conclusion: The 2X strategy has shown effectiveness in early detection of tuberculosis, cutting off the source of infection in the community. It is necessary to promote the implementation of the 2X strategy in the coming time in Vinh Long province.
