Simulations demonstrate high preference for point-of-care tests in tuberculosis-affected individuals, suggesting important implications for detection strategies.
Point-of-care (POC) tests are needed to improve tuberculosis (TB) detection, but how TB-affected persons value POC tests is unknown. Simulations using discrete choice experiment-based data from 1,149 TB-affected participants across five countries demonstrated that POC TB tests were highly preferred, even with modestly lower accuracy compared to standard facility-based testing.
