Estimating the impact of nutritional transition and ending hunger on tuberculosis in 12 high-burden countries
BACKGROUND: Nutrition is a critical determinant of tuberculosis (TB), providing a protective effect at high body mass index (BMI) and incurring an increased risk of TB disease at low BMI. Global nutritional transition and interventions to end hunger could directly affect the TB epidemic in high TB burden countries. METHODS: We constructed dynamic TB transmission models for 12 high TB burden countries with low HIV prevalence. We explicitly account…
Accuracy of computer-aided chest X-ray in community-based tuberculosis screening
Community-based screening for tuberculosis (TB) could improve detection but is resource intensive. We set out to evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided TB screening using digital chest X-ray (CXR) to determine if this approach met target product profiles (TPP) for community-based screening. CXR images from participants in the 2016 Kenya National TB Prevalence Survey were evaluated using CAD4TBv6 (Delft Imaging), giving a probabilistic score for …
Patient pathways of tuberculosis care-seeking and treatment
INTRODUCTION: Patients with tuberculosis (TB) often experience difficulties in accessing diagnosis and treatment. Patient pathway analysis identifies mismatches between TB patient care-seeking patterns and service coverage, but to date, studies have only employed cross-sectional aggregate data. METHODS: We developed an algorithmic approach to analyse and interpret patient-level routine data on healthcare use and to construct patients' pathways fr…
