Quality of care for patients evaluated for tuberculosis in the context of Xpert MTB/RIF scale-up
RATIONALE: Many high-burden countries are scaling-up Xpert MTB/RIF using a hub-and-spoke model. We evaluated the quality of care for patients undergoing TB evaluation at microscopy centers (spokes) linked to Xpert testing sites (hubs) in Uganda. OBJECTIVES: To characterize the extent to which patien...
