Operational feasibility of the ultra-portable digital X-rays with Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) for community active case finding for TB in Nigeria
Nigeria received 10 Ultra-Portable digital X-rays (UPDX) with Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) from the Stop TB Partnership, as part of the USAID-funded introducing New Tools Project (iNTP). The UPDX machines (Delft Light systems) were deployed to 8 states for TB screening and triaging algorithms for early TB detection. This study sought to explore the perspectives of health workers and clients on the operational feasibility and ease-of-use of the …
Iterative evaluation of mobile computer-assisted digital chest x-ray screening for TB improves efficiency, yield, and outcomes in Nigeria
Wellness on Wheels (WoW) is a model of mobile systematic tuberculosis (TB) screening of high-risk populations combining digital chest radiography with computer-aided automated detection (CAD) and chronic cough screening to identify presumptive TB clients in communities, health facilities, and prisons in Nigeria. The model evolves to address technical, political, and sustainability challenges. Screening methods were iteratively refined to balance …
Budgetary impact of using BPaL for treating extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis
INTRODUCTION: Bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid (BPaL) is a new all oral, 6-month regimen comprised of bedaquiline, the new drug pretomanid and linezolid, endorsed by the WHO for use under operational research conditions in patients with extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). We quantified per-patient treatment costs and the 5-year budgetary impact of introducing BPaL in Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria. METHODS: Per-patient treat…
