Overview

Systematic review reports 64.6% TB screening uptake in advanced HIV patients, suggesting significant disparities in outcomes.

Key Points

  • The pooled prevalence of TB screening uptake was found to be 64.6%, indicating substantial gaps in testing.
  • Children had a significantly lower TB screening uptake of 28.2% compared to 66.4% in adults, revealing disparities.
  • Multi-site studies showed a lower prevalence of TB testing uptake at 58.8% compared to single-site studies at 82.9%.
  • This analysis underscores the importance of improving TB screening to prevent inadequate treatment for those with TB.
