  • Screening for post-TB lung disease at TB treatment completion

    Open AccessJamilah Meghji, Vester Gunsaru et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Pulmonary TB survivors face a high burden of post-TB lung disease (PTLD) after TB treatment completion. In this secondary data analysis we investigate the performance of parameters measured at TB treatment completion in predicting morbidity over the subsequent year, to inform programmatic approaches to PTLD screening in low-resource settings. Cohort data from urban Blantyre, Malawi were used to construct regression models for five morbidity outco…

  • Accuracy of computer-aided chest X-ray in community-based tuberculosis screening

    Open AccessBrenda Mungai, Jane Rahedi Ong’ang’o et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    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 …
