Participants were also invited to attend a nearby location for digital radiography. Participants whose sputum was Xpert MTB-positive or whose CXR was reported as \u2018consistent with TB\u00b4 were requested to provide two further sputum\n specimens for culture. The sensitivities of the two tests for detecting TB (defined as sputum culture-positive for <jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>) were compared.<jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> There were 72\u2004985 eligible participants, of whom 57\u2004597 (78.9%) participated in Xpert screening,\n 12\u2004752 (17.5%) had CXR and 11\u2004235 (15.4%) had both tests. We estimated that there were 59 cases of TB, of whom 20 were Xpert MTB-positive (programmatic sensitivity 34.0%) and 47 had CXR reported as \u2018consistent with TB\u00b4 (sensitivity 80.0%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001).<jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold>\n In community-wide screening for TB, CXR is more sensitive than a single spontaneously expectorated sputum sample tested using Xpert, but it has a substantially lower participation rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5588\/ijtld.19.0764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,10]],"date-time":"2020-10-10T04:36:33Z","timestamp":1602304593000},"page":"934-940","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["A comparison of digital chest radiography and Xpert<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> MTB\/RIF in active case finding for tuberculosis"],"prefix":"10.5588","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"T.
