  • Refining research outcomes

    Open AccessLeyla Sophie Larsson, Claire Jacqueline Calderwood et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Most tuberculosis diagnostic validation studies use microbiological or combination reference standards to define tuberculosis. We convened an Endpoint Review Committee (ERC) to define outcomes in ERASE-TB, a longitudinal cohort study across three high tuberculosis-burden countries, aimed at validating novel diagnostics for early detection. Herein, we describe processes and outcomes of the ERC. ERASE-TB enrolled 2,109 household contacts of people …

  • Prediction models for Mtb infection among adolescent and adult household contacts in high tuberculosis incidence settings

    Open AccessEdson Marambire, Claire Jacqueline Calderwood et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Tuberculosis household contacts are at high risk of developing tuberculosis. Tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) is highly effective, but implementation is hindered by limited accessibility of diagnostic tests aimed at detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb) infection. Development of Mtb infection prediction models to guide clinical decision-making aims to overcome these challenges. We used data from 1905 tuberculosis household contacts (ag…
