Overall, the results were comparable (>92% agreement) in our study cohorts. In addition, our mixed risk cohort results showed an excellent agreement of 0.88 (Cohen's kappa value) between the 2 assays. These findings suggest that the automated LIAISON QFT-Plus assay has a comparable diagnostic performance to the Qiagen assay and can be used for latent TB infection (LTBI) diagnosis.
