TI  - The Effect of Treatment during A Haze/Post-Haze Year on Subsequent Respiratory 
      Morbidity Status among Successful Treatment Tuberculosis Cases.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the respiratory morbidity status within 
      the two to three years among successful (completed/cured) treatment of 
      tuberculosis cases during a haze year (2015) and a post-haze year (2016). The 
      study was conducted among 133 cases of a 2015 group and 103 cases of a 2016 group 
      between January to March 2018 in Pekanbaru city, Indonesia. The St George 
      Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was used to assess respiratory morbidity status. 
      A higher score corresponds to worse respiratory morbidity. Based on a directed 
      acyclic graph, quantile regression models were constructed to assess the 
      associations between haze/post-haze year and the SGRQ (symptom, activity, impact, 
      and total) domains score. The subsequent respiratory morbidity status of 
      tuberculosis (TB) cases was poorer among respondents treated during a haze year 
      (2015). Among SGRQ domains, only the activity domain score showed significant 
      difference, in which the median for the 2015 group was 23.7 (inter-quartile range 
      (IQR); 17.2, 30.9) compared to 18.4 (IQR; 11.9, 24.8) for the 2016 group. The 
      effect was limited to the 2015 group who were exposed by an average PM(10) index 
      >/= 55 during TB treatment. This raises concern for monitoring and improving the 
      quality of life of TB patients treated during a haze year.
