Evaluating the Accuracy of the Current Tuberculosis Scoring System in Screening Suspected Cases: A Quality Improvement Project

2023-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Early identification and isolation of suspected Tuberculosis (TB) cases are crucial for reducing the risk of transmission to healthcare workers and other patients. The current TB scoring system, with a cutoff point of 4, has been widely used but lacks specificity. This quality improvement project aims to evaluate the accuracy of the current TB scoring system in screening suspected cases and e...
