Economic costs of accessing tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic services in Malawi: an analysis of patient costs from a randomised controlled trial of computer-aided chest x-ray interpretation

2021-06-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> <ns4:italic/> Patients with tuberculosis (TB) symptoms in low-resource settings face convoluted diagnostic and treatment linkage pathways, incurring substantial health-seeking costs. In the context of a randomised trial looking at the impact of novel diagnostics such as computer-aided chest x-ray diagnosis (CAD4TB), we aimed to investigate the costs incurred by patients seeking TB diagnosis...
