Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is included in the top 10 diseases that cause death in the world. In 2018 pulmonary tuberculosis caused about 1.3 million people's deaths. Estimates of the death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis per 100,000 population were found in 30 high-burden countries. There are many risk factors that can affect the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis, one of which is the physical environment of the house. Lighting and ventilation are factors associated with the spread of tuberculosis. Based on preliminary studies in several journals, there are inconsistencies or differences in research results on ventilation and lighting variables with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Purpose: This study examines and analyzes the trend of articles describing the relationship between ventilation and lighting with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: This study uses a retrospective observational study, in the sense that the researcher makes a recapitulation of the facts without performing experimental manipulation. Effect sizes. The data source uses secondary data obtained from previous online studies. The data collection procedure uses Google Scholar, Pub Med and Garuda Portal which have been involved in the last 5 years. Data were analyzed using Review Manager Version 5.4 (RevMan 5.4). Results: The results of the 104 studies obtained according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 studies were obtained which could be continued into the RevMan 5.4 analysis where for the ventilation variable 10 studies were used and the lighting variable was 10 studies. The results of data analysis showed that there was a relationship between ventilation and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis with p value < 0.05, namely p < 0.0006 and pooled odds ratio value of 5.80 (95% CI 2.14-15.77). The results of data analysis showed that there was a relationship between lighting and the incidence of tuberculosis with p < 0.05, namely p < 0.0001 and the pooled odds ratio value of 6.59 (95% CI 3.57-12.18).
