Investigating the role of symptom valorisation in tuberculosis patient delay in...
de Morais, Margarida; Sousa, Sofia; Marques, Jéssica; Moniz, Marta; Duarte, Raquel; Leite, Andreia; Soares, Patricia; Carreira, Mário; Pereira, SofiaBackground: Diagnosis delay contributes to increased tuberculosis (TB) transmission and morbimortality. TB incidence has been decreasing in Portugal, but median patient delay (PD) has risen. Symptom valorisation may determine PD by influencing help-seeking behaviour. We aimed to analyse the association between symptom valorisation and PD, while characterising individuals who disregarded their symptoms. Methods:...
