Analysis of tuberculosis prevalence surveys: new guidance on best-practice methods

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Both cluster-level and individual-level analyses should be conducted, and individual-level analyses should be conducted both with and without multiple missing value imputation. Method 3 is the safest approach to correct the bias introduced by missing data and provides the single best estimate of TB prevalence at the population level.
