- W103709719 abstract "The ALERT MDT Field Evaluation Study (AMFES) is a long-term prospective study of 650 patients (594 new cases and 56 relapses after dapsone monotherapy), treated with fixed-duration multiple-drug therapy (MDT), as recommended by WHO. Follow-up has continued for up to 11 years from the start of treatment. This paper presents the methodology of the study and the baseline characteristics of the cohort, while accompanying papers examine the incidence of, and possible risk factors for, the various complications of leprosy, including relapse, reactions and nerve function impairment. The methods of diagnosis, classification and treatment with MDT are described; nerve function was assessed at every visit to the clinic using a standardized methodology, so that reactions and new impairment could be detected early and treated. Eighty-four per cent of new case had at least one thickened nerve, with the ulnar nerve most commonly involved. Seventy-seven per cent of cases completed treatment and only one adverse reaction to the MDT drugs was noted. Twenty-eight per cent of all patients were given steroids at one time or another, almost always for new nerve function impairment, and 3% of these developed significant complications of steroid treatment. Twenty-nine patients (5%) received hospital care, including 14 patients who underwent major surgery. Sixty-one per cent of the women over 19 years of age had at least one pregnancy, but pregnancies were much less common after leprosy was diagnosed." @default.
