- Abstract
The article focuses on optimizing the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in non-U.S. born individuals, primarily examining test cutoffs. Topics include the use of a latent class model to estimate LTBI prevalence and test sensitivity and specificity, sample calculations for test characteristics at different cutoffs, sensitivity analysis considering varying LTBI risks, and simulations for sequential testing.
