Any participants suspected of TB by on-site physicians were referred to the infectious disease hospital for confirmatory testing, and external experts validated final diagnoses, which were then used as the TB gold standard. We aimed to identify the screening algorithm with the highest case detection at the lowest cost among different on-site testing combinations. Ingredients-based costing was used to evaluate the cost per test and cost per case detected for each algorithm.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Among the 1080 PWID enrolled, 47 (4.4%; 95% CI, 2.8%\u20136.4%) were diagnosed with TB disease. When compared with the current symptom-based TB screening strategy in Vietnam (Double X), systematic chest x-ray with CAD4TB, Xpert MTB\/RIF for those with CAD4TB \u226550, and referral to care for those with either CAD4TB \u226570 or a positive Xpert test result doubled the sensitivity (82.9% vs 43.9%) and yield (3.2% vs 1.7%) while maintaining a reasonable cost per TB case detected (US $439 vs $309 for standard of care).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We defined an acceptable and moderate cost algorithm that improves efficiency for community-based TB screening among PWID in Vietnam.
