Compared to the general population, TB incidence and prevalence rates are significantly higher among prison inmates. Early identification of potentially infectious pulmonary TB (PTB) and targeted care of sick inmates are essential to effectively control TB within the prison system. The WHO recommends combining active and passive case-finding in prisons. No study has been published comparing the broad spectrum of screening tools using a diagnostic accuracy network meta-analysis (NMA). We aim to identify the most accurate TB case-finding algorithm at prison entry that is feasible in resource-limited prisons of high-burden TB countries and ensures continuous comprehensive TB detection services in such settings. Evidence generated by this NMA can provide important decision support in selecting the most (cost-) effective algorithms for screening methods for resource-limited settings in the short, medium, and long terms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.25122\/jml-2022-0164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]],"date-time":"2023-05-08T05:46:23Z","timestamp":1683524783000},"page":"1464-1475","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Diagnostic accuracy of screening algorithms to identify persons with active pulmonary tuberculosis at prison entry: protocol of a systematic review and network meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.25122","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Pape","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Global Health, Euclid University, Bangui, Central African Republic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"* Corresponding Author: Stephanie Pape, Department of Global Health, Euclid University, Bangui, Central African Republic E-mail: spape684@gmail.com","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kabiru","family":"Gulma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Global Health, Euclid University, Bangui, Central African Republic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siddharudha","family":"Shivalli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Global Health, Euclid University, Bangui, Central African Republic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Center for Evaluation, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurent Cleenewerck de","family":"Kiev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Department of Global Health, Euclid University, Bangui, Central African Republic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10755","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"1.
