Newer and novel sputum versus non-sputum-based tools for the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in different patient sub-populations by Esmail, Aliasgar

“…Methods (sub-populations are underlined) In Chapter 1, I describe an evaluation of an algorithm that describes the optimal & cost efficient strategy to combine sputum GeneXpert and urine LAM (tests that are recommended by the WHO) in a hospitalized HIV-infected sub-population: This comprised a post-hoc analysis of 561 HIV-infected sputum-expectorating patients that was part of a larger parent trial. 5 different diagnostic strategies using sputum culture as a reference standard were explored (Xpert alone, LAM alone, sequential Xpert followed by LAM and vice versa [LAM in Xpert-negative patients and Xpert in LAM-negative patients], and both tests concurrently [LAM + Xpert]). …”
