Comparing Tuberculosis Diagnostic Yield in Smear/Culture and Xpert(®) MTB/RIF-Based Algorithms Using a Non-Randomised Stepped-Wedge Design
SETTING: Primary health services in Cape Town, South Africa. STUDY AIM: To compare tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic yield in an existing smear/culture-based and a newly introduced Xpert(®) MTB/RIF-based algorithm. METHODS: TB diagnostic yield (the proportion of presumptive TB cases with a laboratory dia...
