AB  - Aim: To know the evolution of the main variables related to TB and to evaluate the indicators linked to the objectives of the PII-TBMethods: Multicentric cross-sectional study of 7,107 new TB cases collected prospectively between 2006 and 2016 in a data base by PII TB (160 collaborating researchers from 101 health centers throughout the country). The analisys was performed with central trend measurements and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The p <0.05 were considered significant. The temporal trend study was done using a simple linear regression model and the chi-square test of linear trend (χ2L)Results: The Table I shows the main variables that have increased or decreased significantly.View this table:The trend of the the indicators linked to the objectives of PII TB are in the Table II View this table:Conclusions: The evaluation has revealed that the Programme provides important information about the evolution of TB and that it is necessary to implement activities that motivate the continuous participation of a large number of researchers and centers.Supported by Grant SEPAR number 415/2017.FootnotesCite this article as: European Respiratory Journal 2019; 54: Suppl. 63, PA4614.This is an ERS International Congress abstract.
