摘要 AIM:To estimate post-war burdens of trachomatous trichiasis(TT)and multi-level risk factors among displaced population in Raya Kobo districts,implication for urgent action.METHODS:A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 603 participants from randomly selected 14 displaced slums in the Raya Kobo district.The data was collected from February 16th to March 30th,2023.Study participants were selected using the multistage sampling technique.A structured questionnaire and ophthalmic loupe with×2.5 magnificence were used to collect from participants.Multi-level binary logistic regression was used to determine associated factors with TT infection.Adjusted odds ratio(AOR)with 95%confidence interval(CI)were claimed for the strength of association at P<0.05.RESULTS:We recruited 602(99.9%)participants for the final analysis.From the total,126(20.9%)and 98(16.3%,95%CI:13.5%-19.4%)participants were diagnosed with active trachoma&TT infection,respectively.Being age≥45y(AOR=7.9,95%CI:2.4-25.3),having multiple eye infections(AOR=2.73,95%CI:1.47-5.29),poor wealth index(AOR=9.2;95%CI:2.7-23.7)and twice face washing per day(AOR=0.082,95%CI:0.03-0.21)has identified as individual as factors for TT infection.Whereas,distance between clean water source≥10 km(AOR=6.5,95%CI:3.9-31.3),and latrine availability(AOR=0.35,95%CI:0.21-0.58)were the two community-level factors associated with TT infections.CONCLUSION:The high prevalence of TT infection post-war throughout the study districts indicates a need for urgent clinical intervention in addition to rapid scaling up surgery,antibiotics,facial cleanliness,and environmental improvement(SAFE)strategies,strategy for high-risk population.Age≥45y,distance from the clean water source,poor wealth indexes,and eye infection are identified to be risk factors for TT infection.Furthermore,community-level preventative factors for TT infection are found as latrine availability and face washing practice.
