cases that were not geocoded, 35 of them were in
prison and 16 patients had received TB drugs from
TBMC directly. However, given that the TB
diagnosis and treatment services are provided
instantaneously in prisons in Iran, modeling of
accessibility in terms of geographical distance from
the health center was impossible.
In the second step, catchment areas for each
health center which were derived from the TBMC
were plotted on mapping files. For better visualization,
the maps have been categorized by 1 km distances
from health centers across the given
catchment area. Each of the health catchment
areas envelops the distribution of TB patients as
satellites around healthcare centers where TB
treatment is delivered as well. All of the health
centers were under the direct supervision of the
TBMC, and TB treatment services were provided
by each one of them actively where patients lived
across its related health center catchment area.
In the third step, in order to measure the distance
from a patients home to the health center,
‘‘Minimum Euclidean distance,’’ which represented
the straight line, was employed. Since primary
healthcare services including the TB
treatment program are delivered actively by community
health workers (called Behvarz) in rural
areas, on average, the patients distance from a
given rural healthcare center was defined as 100 m.
In the fourth step, the number of adverse outcomes
as defaulted or interrupted cases was demonstrated
for each catchment area separately
(Fig. 3).
