Discussion

Scoping review analyzes tuberculosis guidelines on comorbidities and post-TB lung disease in high-burden countries, suggesting gaps in care.

MAIN FINDING: Only 7 out of 49 countries addressed post-TB lung disease in their guidelines, indicating a significant oversight.
KEY EVIDENCE: Guidelines for screening comorbidities like HIV were present in nearly all (100%) countries, but recommendations for care linkage varied.
APPROACH: The review utilized Arksey and O’Malley’s framework to analyze 43 tuberculosis treatment guidelines from high-burden countries.
SIGNIFICANCE: Identifying gaps in guidelines presents an opportunity to enhance TB treatment outcomes through improved screening and management strategies.

Bah et al. (2025) studied this question.
