ARPE
Aggregate Reports for Program Evaluation
Contact Investigation
Janice Westenhouse, MPH Tuberculosis Control Branch
Today’s Training
• Purpose of ARPE • How to complete the ARPE • Schedule of ARPE submission • Uses of ARPE data • Reporting Adverse Events of LTBI
treatment
Today’s Training is NOT:
• A contact investigation (CI) training • A substitute for guidelines about TB
diagnosis, treatment, or control
ARPE Overview • CDC report implemented in 2005 • Contact investigation (CI) data summary
for respiratory TB cases • Preliminary Report
– Evaluation of contacts
• Final Report – Updates to preliminary – Treatment outcomes of contacts with latent TB
infection (LTBI)
Purpose of ARPE
• Contact investigations are one of the first priority TB control activities, following case finding and treatment
• Assess the yield, efficiency, and effectiveness of TB program contact investigations
• Identify areas where programs are doing well, and areas for improvement

Aggregate Reports for Program Evaluation Preliminary Final
ARPE – Getting Started Preliminary and Final Reports
Reporting Area: Your jurisdiction Submitted by: Your name Cohort: Year (2015 Final or Telephone: 2016 Preliminary) E-mail: Total TB Cases Reported: ALL Counted Cases Date Submitted: Email/fax date
ARPE Part I. Cases
ARPE Part I. Cases (cont’d)
Cases for Investigation – Respiratory Cases – pulmonary or laryngeal – Included in case count whether or not a CI
was performed – Include cases for whom no contacts could
be elicited – Does NOT include pediatric source case
investigation
ARPE Part I. Cases (cont’d)
Cases with No Contacts – Cases for whom no contacts were able to be
elicited (e.g., patient left area or died before interview could be conducted; patient could not name any contacts)
ARPE Part I. Cases (cont’d)
Smear positive – Positive AFB smear from sputum, bronchial or tracheal fluids, whether or
not any culture result is positive
Smear negative / culture or NAAT positive – Negative AFB smear results from sputum, bronchial or tracheal fluids – Culture or NAAT positive for Mtb complex, from sputum, bronchial or
tracheal fluids
Other Pulmonary Verified pulmonary/laryngeal case not in other categories e.g., clinically confirmed, gastric aspirates
ARPE Part I. Contacts
Number of contacts by type of case Outcome of the evaluation of contact
• Completed evaluation • Diagnosed with TB disease • Diagnosed with LTBI
- Started treatment for LTBI
ARPE Part I. Contacts (cont’d)
Number of Contacts – HD believes the person was exposed, warranting
an evaluation for TB disease or infection – Exposure was caused by a TB case counted by the
reporting jurisdiction (regardless of residence of contact!)
– Enough information is available to verify a current location or phone number for the contact (regardless of jurisdiction)
ARPE Part I. Contacts (cont’d)
Number of Contacts (cont’d) • Extended CIs
– Count persons who have been exposed, even if number is large
– Persons tested for public relations purposes, or to decrease anxiety should NOT be counted
ARPE Part I. Contacts
Number of Contacts (cont’d)
If a contact is identified in two related CIs • count only ONCE in a calendar year
If a contact is part of two unrelated CIs and a second evaluation is necessary
• count the contact TWICE
Example 1: Number of Contacts
• Maria is the index TB case • During the CI, Maria’s sister Anna is found to
have active TB • Miguel, Maria’s brother, was a contact both
Maria and Anna. Q: Is Miguel counted once or twice as a contact on the ARPE? A: Count Miguel once since the CI’s were
related.
Example 2: Number of Contacts
• Robert is a TB case reported in Alameda in
2016. • 24 contacts were exposed to Robert
– 18 contacts reside in Alameda – 6 contacts reside Contra Costa
• Contra Costa provides Alameda with the information on the status of those 6 contacts
• Alameda includes all 24 contacts and their outcomes on their ARPE
ARPE Part I. Contacts (cont’d) Contacts Evaluated
– Evaluated to the point where a final diagnosis can be made: LTBI, TB disease, or neither
INDICATIONS EVALUATION STEP
All contacts Interview, and Symptom review
Contacts with no documented history of positive Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) or Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) or TB disease
TST #1 placed and read, or IGRA #1 performed and results received.
Contacts with TST #1 placed or IGRA #1 performed <8 weeks from last exposure, and with a negative TST or IGRA #1
TST #2 placed and read, or IGRA #2 performed and results received.
Contacts with documented history of positive TST or IGRA Chest imaging study
Contacts with: • TB symptoms present, or • Positive TST or IGRA #1 or positive TST or
IGRA #2, or • History of TB disease, or • HIV infection, risk for HIV infection, or Contacts age <4 years
Medical evaluation, and Chest imaging study
ARPE Part I. Contacts (cont’d)
Contacts with TB Disease – Diagnosed as part of the contact investigation – Do not include persons with
• Active TB that developed after LTBI was diagnosed during CI
• Previously treated TB or “old” TB
– Do not consider genotyping results
ARPE Part I. Contacts (cont’d)
Latent TB Infection – New, positive TST or IGRA – Exclusion of active TB or – Being treated for LTBI despite negative TST
ARPE Part I. Contacts (cont’d)
LTBI, Started Treatment – Count after first dose of a planned full treatment
• Patient self-report • Medicine picked up from clinic or pharmacy
– Window period treatment pending a second TST or IGRA should NOT be counted
Example: Completing the Preliminary ARPE
Final ARPE
Final ARPE Update Part 1 as needed
LTBI Completed Treatment – Provider believes an adequate LTBI regimen has
been received, discontinues treatment – Contact has taken at least 80% of prescribed doses
(if daily regimen). Intermittent regimens may have different thresholds (e.g., 3HP requires 11/12 doses)
– Treatment is finished within 150% of recommended duration of therapy
Reasons LTBI Treatment Not Completed
Reasons Treatment Not Completed (1) Death Patient died prior to completing LTBI treatment Contact Moved Contact relocates prior to completing treatment
and follow-up information is unavailable Active TB Developed Patient meets definition for a TB case while being
treated for LTBI. If regimen stopped before active TB developed, do not report as Active TB Developed
Reasons Treatment Not Completed (2) Adverse Effect of Medicine
– Treatment not completed due to adverse effect of the medicine
– Documented by provider – Do not report if provider has not recommended
discontinuation of treatment
Contact Chose to Stop – Patient discontinues medicine prior to completion of
regimen and provider has not determined that the medicine should be stopped due to medical reason
Reasons Treatment Not Completed (3) Contact Lost to Follow-up
– LTBI treatment outcome cannot be determined because HD cannot locate patient
Provider Decision – Health care provider discontinues treatment for LTBI
due to concerns about the benefits, safety, or practicality of treatment (e.g., a contact has such erratic attendance at the clinic that the adequacy and safety of the treatment cannot be monitored)
Still on Treatment – Patient still on treatment at the time report is due
Example: Completing the Final ARPE

Final ARPE Part II. Evaluation Indices
• No contacts rate • Contacts per case • Evaluation rate • Disease rate
• Latent infection rate • LTBI treatment rate • LTBI treatment
completion rate
7 indices are calculated for each case category (smear positive, culture positive, other)
ARPE Part II. Evaluation Indices (cont’d)
• Formulas for indices are shown in each cell of the paper and online copies of the ARPE
• Calculation encouraged to assist in the evaluation of CIs in your program
Example: Calculating Indices
Sputum Smear + Evaluation Rate = (d1 ÷ c1), %
d1 = number of contacts evaluated c1 = total number of contacts (75 ÷ 80) x 100 = 94%
