Incorporating Patient Reporting Patterns to Evaluate Spatially Targeted TB Interventions.

Better understanding of patient reporting patterns can improve estimates of the impact of targeted interventions in reducing TB incidence. Incorporating high-quality patient-level data is critical to optimizing TB interventions. PMID: 33166716 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
