Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on TB Care:
The intersection of TB and COVID-19 has emerged as a significant theme, with research exploring the effects of the pandemic on TB diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare delivery. - Digital Health and Technology in TB Management:
There is a growing focus on the use of digital technologies and telemedicine for TB management, including adherence monitoring, virtual consultations, and data management systems. - Health Systems Strengthening and TB Services:
Emerging studies are increasingly addressing the strengthening of health systems to improve TB care delivery, especially in low-resource settings, emphasizing integrated approaches to health services. - Social Determinants of Health and TB:
Research exploring the social determinants of health, including stigma, economic factors, and healthcare access, is gaining traction as a critical area for understanding TB epidemiology and outcomes. - Innovative Diagnostic Approaches:
A trend towards innovative diagnostic methods, including the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in TB detection and management, is becoming prominent.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Perspectives on TB:
Research focusing on historical trends and perspectives of tuberculosis, such as epidemiological studies from past decades, appears to be less frequent, indicating a shift towards contemporary issues. - Basic Science Research:
There seems to be a decline in purely laboratory-based studies related to the basic science of TB pathogens, as the focus shifts towards clinical applications and translational research. - Non-Communicable Diseases and TB:
While the intersection of TB with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has been a topic of interest, it appears to be waning, possibly due to a greater emphasis on direct TB-related issues and immediate public health challenges.
