Cost Evaluation of Current Pulmonary MTB Diagnosis Process in a Hospital in Abu Dhabi and Proposal to Implement the World Health Organization MTB Clinical Pathway

Cost Evaluation of Current Pulmonary MTB Diagnosis Process in a Hospital in Abu Dhabi and Proposal to Implement the World Health Organization MTB Clinical Pathway

Aim:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a leading cause of death worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends X-pert MTB/RIF or X-pert Ultra as the initial test for pulmonary MTB diagnosis. While several studies have explored the cost-effectiveness of this technology, none have specific...
