A Retrospective Cohort Study to Develop Markers for TB Severity and Treatment Progress
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to compare how accurately the Xpert MTB/RIF assay Ct value at diagnosis and the AI-based tuberculosis activity score predict the treatment outcome of rifampin-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis patients. As a retrospective observational study, data from patients diagnosed with rifampin susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis through the Xpert MTB/RIF assay performed on sputum in 2019 at the participating institutions will be analyzed (up to 900 people).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Negative culture conversion until 8 weeks after initiation of treatment [Within 8 weeks of initiating treatment]
Conversion from positive tuberculosis culture to negative tuberculosis culture
- Time to negative culture conversion [Within 6 months of initiating treatment]
Time (days) to conversion from positive tuberculosis culture to negative tuberculosis culture
- Treatment outcome including 1) Cure 2) Treatment completion 3) Treatment failure 4) Death 5) Loss of follow-up 6) Unknown [Within 2 years of initiating treatment]
Cure: confirmed negative culture conversion plus negative culture results from at least one sputum on the month of treatment completion Treatment completion: confirmed negative culture conversion at least once during treatment Treatment failure: positive culture results after 4 months of treatment Death: death during treatment Loss of follow-up: loss of follow-up during treatment Unknown
