Abstract	Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a threat to the achievement of the global targets to the World Health Organization (WHO) End TB by 2030 Strategy. The WHO consolidated guidelines for the treatment of drug-resistant TB emphasise the importance of addressing health systems issues, including supporting patients during treatment, contributing to improved adherence, reduced catastrophic costs and better treatment outcomes. The recently published results of the STREAM (Standardised Treatment Regimen of Anti-TB Drugs for Patients with MDR-TB) clinical trial and the Delamanid 213 Trial suggest that the implementation of a proper patient-centred approach to the clinical and programmatic management of MDR-TB as per the WHO guidelines is key to improving treatment outcomes in MDR-TB patients.

Abstract	Should the engagement of all health care providers in all aspects of programmatic management of drug-resistant tuberculosis (PMDT) become a priority in the national strategic plans for tuberculosis (TB), progress towards universal access to diagnosis, treatment and care of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) would accelerate. This would be especially crucial in countries where the private sector is a significant provider of health services. Proven successful interventions to engage all health care providers and partners in the cascade of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of DR-TB patients need to be urgently scaled up. Such engagement should not be limited to the diagnosis and treatment of DR-TB, but extended also to all the aspects of PMDT, including approaches ensuring that patient-centred care, social support, pharmacovigilance and surveillance. Integral to the End TB Strategy, PMDT should be embedded in all public-private mix initiatives for TB and vice versa.

Abstract	Setting: P J Twomey Hospital, National Tuberculosis Programme, Fiji. Objectives: To review the trend in numbers of tuberculosis (TB) cases registered each year from 1950 to 2010 at P J Twomey Hospital, Fiji's largest TB treatment centre and central TB unit, and to consider trends in the context of key TB control events in Fiji. Design: Descriptive study of data from medical records and TB registers, including age, sex, ethnicity, TB diagnosis and smear result. Results: Between 1950 and 2010, 14 616 cases were registered at P J Twomey Hospital. Of these, 58% were male, 70% were indigenous Fijians (i-taukei) and 64% were aged 15-49 years. The caseload dropped sharply in the 1960s, and has fallen steadily since 1990. Smear results were available for the majority of cases (91%). Between 1950 and 1985, smear-positive cases accounted for 19% of cases overall; this increased to 41% after 1985 following laboratory training. The numbers of sputum smear-positive cases recorded each year has been increasing in the last decade. Conclusion: There have been marked changes in TB caseload over the last 60 years at Fiji's largest TB treatment centre. The recent increase in smear-positive cases while total TB cases have been falling needs further evaluation.

Abstract	Setting: Fiji's schools of nursing and government health services, 2001-2010. Objectives: To report on 1) the number and characteristics of nurses who graduated in Fiji, 2) the proportion of vacant nursing positions in the government health services and 3) attrition among nurses. Design: Descriptive study involving a retrospective record review of Ministry of Health annual reports and nursing registers. Results: Over the period 2001-2010, a total of 1500 nurses graduated, with the overall trend being a gradual increase in newly qualified nurses year on year. Available data from 2007 onwards showed relatively low vacancy rates (range 0.4-2%), with a sharp rise to 15% in 2009. Complete data on nurse attrition were available only from 2007 onwards, with rates of attrition ranging from 4% to 10%; the most common reason for attrition was resignation. Conclusion: While it was unable to directly assess whether Fiji's supply of nursing graduates has been meeting the country's health service demands, this study provides a series of baseline data on Fiji's nurse graduate and nursing workforce. In addition, it identifies some of the challenges and gaps that need to be considered to better assess and address nursing staff shortages.

Abstract	Setting: A cohort of migrants to Australia (n = 7265) selected to be at increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) were assessed at the Liverpool Chest Clinic, Sydney, between 1984 and 2003. Objective: To assess the reproducibility and predictive value of various radiographic criteria for predicting the subsequent development of TB. Methods: A nested case control study was conducted. Cases were those who had a confirmed diagnosis of TB during follow-up (n = 60). A random sample of 107 controls was selected. Initial chest X-rays were read independently and blinded to case vs. control status by two readers according to two classification systems. Agreement was quantified as weighted kappa (kappaw). Sensitivity and specificity for subsequent TB were estimated. Results: There was moderate agreement between readers for both classification systems (kappaw 0.67 and 0.60, respectively). The presence of calcified nodular densities or fibrosis together with non-calcified nodular densities in mid and/or upper lung zones or the presence of a pulmonary infiltrate typical of TB had a sensitivity of 66% for subsequent pulmonary TB and a specificity of 82%. Minor abnormalities or findings consistent with past primary TB infection alone were not predictive of subsequent TB. Conclusions: Radiographic screening can be helpful in identifying individuals at increased risk of subsequent TB.
