Xpert® MTB/RIF assay for pulmonary tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance in adults.
Karen R Steingart,Ian Schiller,David J. Horne,Madhukar Pai,Catharina Boehme,Nandini Dendukuri +5 more
TL;DR: This updated Cochrane Review on the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert® MTB/RIF for pulmonary TB and rifampicin resistance detection was performed as part of a WHO process to develop updated guidelines on the use of the test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial Serological Tests for the Diagnosis of Active Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Karen R Steingart,Laura L. Flores,Nandini Dendukuri,Ian Schiller,Suman Laal,Suman Laal,Andrew Ramsay,Philip C. Hopewell,Madhukar Pai +8 more
TL;DR: An up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis by Karen Steingart and colleagues confirms that commercially available serological tests do not provide an accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Xpert MTB/RIF assay for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Anne Detjen,Andrew R. DiNardo,Andrew R. DiNardo,Jacinta Leyden,Jacinta Leyden,Karen R Steingart,Dick Menzies,Ian Schiller,Nandini Dendukuri,Anna M. Mandalakas,Anna M. Mandalakas +10 more
TL;DR: Compared with microscopy, Xpert offers better sensitivity for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in children and its scale-up will improve access to tuberculosis diagnostics for children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Saliva and Nasopharyngeal Swab Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing for Detection of SARS-CoV-2: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Guillaume Butler-Laporte,Alexander Lawandi,Ian Schiller,Mandy Yao,Nandini Dendukuri,Emily G. McDonald,Emily G. McDonald,Todd C. Lee,Todd C. Lee +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic review to assess the diagnostic accuracy of saliva nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and concluded that salivary NAAT diagnostic accuracy is similar to that of nasopharyngeal swab NAAT, especially in the ambulatory setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Accuracy of Novel and Traditional Rapid Tests for Influenza Infection Compared With Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Joanna Merckx,Rehab Wali,Ian Schiller,Chelsea Caya,Genevieve Gore,Caroline Chartrand,Nandini Dendukuri,Jesse Papenburg +7 more
TL;DR: The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of commercialized RIDTs, DIAs, and rapid NAATs for detecting influenza A and B infection in patients with suspected influenza, compared with an RT-PCR reference standard.
