Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In a retrospective analysis of statistical accounting of tuberculosis incidence for 3-6-9-12 months of 2019, 2020 and 2021 in Akmola region, statistical reporting data from the Akmola Regional Center for Phthisiopulmonology named after Konyratbek Kurmanbayev and the Republican Center for E-Health were used.The authors concluded that due to the pandemic and the introduction of a state of emergency in the Republic of Kazakhstan, including in the Akmola region, the main attention of the medical service was paid to the fight against coronavirus, therefore, the active detection of tuberculosis during the pandemic decreased in the whole region (by 17.6%) and by districts (by 25.7%). However, a year after the start of the pandemic (2021), an improvement in the activity of the tuberculosis service was registered in the region, districts and polyclinics of Kokshetau, i.e. in connection with the timely detection of tuberculosis in 2021. The epidemiological situation has stabilized and as the work on early and timely detection of tuberculosis has improved and the epidemiological situation has stabilized, the incidence of complicated forms of tuberculosis has decreased.
