Comparison of sputum collection methods for tuberculosis diagnosis: a systematic review and pairwise and network meta-analysis

Comparison of sputum collection methods for tuberculosis diagnosis: a systematic review and pairwise and network meta-analysis

Background: The performance of laboratory tests to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis is dependent on the quality of the sputum sample tested. The relative merits of sputum collection methods to improve tuberculosis diagnosis are poorly characterised. We therefore aimed to investigate the effects of sp...
