Our new paper in @nathealth.nature.com shows that population-level #TB interventions are likely to have more meaningful impact on disease burden than interventions that only reach routinely diagnosed individuals or their households. www.nature.com/articles/s44... 1/7

Global impact and cost-effectiveness of tuberculosis interventions - Nature Health
A modelling analysis at a global scale estimates that three interventions (vaccination, community-wide screening and prison screening programmes) could prevent more than 10% of tuberculosis cases betw...

At a time when global resources for #TB research, development, prevention, and care are limited, which interventions should be prioritised in high burden settings? 📢 Our new pre-print compares the impact, cost, and cost-effectiveness of 9 TB interventions in 3 countries. 1/n bit.ly/3V3vXth

The potential impact, cost and cost-effectiveness of tuberculosis interventions - a modelling exercise
Background While a range of interventions exist for tuberculosis prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment, their potential population impact and cost-effectiveness are seldom directly compared,...

Amid all the bad news in Global Health, perhaps some good news? A first analysis on the risk of false positive diagnoses in community-screening for tuberculosis using Xpert shows our clinic-based data is likely (very) wrong and overestimates false positives by >80%: tinyurl.com/yfecute9.

Evaluating the impact of #TB interventions is important. Our poster for #UnionConf2024 explores the effect of contamination in cluster randomised trials and potential solutions. Full paper coming out soon in #IJTLD!
