We therefore did not adjust these data but allowed DisMod-MR 2.1 to estimate the additional uncertainty associated with datapoints from studies that had used only one of the screening methods. Similarly, we added uncertainty to datapoints from subnational surveys. The method used to increase the ...

The association between the total cholesterol level and tuberculosis (TB) risk has been controversial. Our study aimed to evaluate whether total cholesterol level can predict the risk of TB. Data from 5,000,566 subjects who participated in a health screening exam in 2009 were investigated using t...
The Stop TB Strategy of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends household contact investigations (HCI) for active screening of TB disease among contacts of smear- positive TB cases [1]. Saunders et al. (2018) found higher risk of progression to TB disease among close contacts of pulmona...
However, more evidence is needed for groups among whom systematic screening is only conditionally recommended by the World Health Organization. This study evaluated concurrent screening in multiple target groups using community health workers (CHW).Methods:In our two-year intervention study lasting from ...
We assigned Elixhauser scores based on screening test results and ICD-9-CM codes recorded during the initial screening visit [23]. The study population was dichotomized into two groups: Elixhauser Score = 0 (No Comorbidity) or Elix- hauser Score ≥ 1 (Any Comorbidity). Second, we evalu- ...
