Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: To reduce transmission and improve patient outcomes, rapid diagnosis and treatment of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) is required. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing time to treatment for RR-TB and variability using diagnostic testing methods and treatment delivery approach. DESIGN: Studies from 2000 to 2015 reporting time to second-line treatment...
