Exposure to tobacco has been shown to be associated with higher risk of acquiring TB and adverse outcomes such as relapse and TB mortality.<jats:bold>OBJECTIVE:<\/jats:bold> To assess and compare self-reported\n tobacco quit status and biochemically verified cotinine levels among TB patients at different time intervals among two study groups.<jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold> A cluster, randomised controlled trial was conducted on TB patients attending DOTS centres in Delhi, India, who reported using tobacco in\n any form. Participants were assigned into one of two treatment groups. Centres were randomly assigned to two intervention groups: 1) integrated intervention using behavioural counselling with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) gum, and 2) intervention using behavioural counselling alone (50\n each in intervention and control group). The subjects were followed at Week 1, Month 1, Month 3 and Month 6 for tobacco cessation.<jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> At the end of 6 months, patients who received the integrated intervention had significantly higher rate of success in quitting tobacco than\n those who received the conventional TB treatment alone (78.7% vs. 57.8%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.03).<jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold> DOTS with tobacco use dependence treatment was successful in our study in helping TB patients to quit tobacco dependence and should therefore be offered to every tobacco user.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5588\/ijtld.21.0211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,31]],"date-time":"2021-12-31T04:46:07Z","timestamp":1640925967000},"page":"12-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Effectiveness of two tobacco cessation methods among TB patients"],"prefix":"10.5588","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Malhotra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Mohanty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
