Disparities in model-based cost-effectiveness analyses of tuberculosis diagnosis: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Structural approach disparities were minimally addressed in past systematic reviews of model-based cost-effectiveness analyses addressing Tuberculosis management strategies.

After removal of duplication, studies' titles and abstracts were screened based on predetermined criteria. The full texts of potentially relevant studies were subsequently screened and excluded when they did not address active pulmonary Tuberculosis diagnosis. Qualit
