A Clinical Risk Score for Early Management of TB in Uganda

"This is an easy-to-use clinical risk score designed to improve early management of tuberculosis in highly resource-constrained settings where same-day microbiological testing is unavailable. It consists of readily accessible demographic and clinical data and is scored from 1-10.~We will train clinic staff in eight clinics (four study clinics and four comparison clinics) on the Ugandan standard of care for the diagnosis and treatment of TB. In addition, in the four study clinics, we will provide training on the PredicTB score."
