Optimizing Tuberculosis Case Detection through a Novel Diagnostic Device Placement Model: The Case of Uganda

BACKGROUND: Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) is being widely adopted in high TB burden countries. Analysis is needed to guide the placement of devices within health systems to optimize the tuberculosis (TB) case detection rate (CDR). METHODS: We used epidemiological and operational data from Uganda (139 sites...
