Background [Extract from related publication]: Smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) requires rapid diagnosis and treatment to prevent ongoing transmission. Collection of two sputum specimens is considered the minimum requirement for the diagnosis of PTB but current guidelines in the Torres Strait Islands, Australia, recommend three sputum specimens; this frequently delays treatment initiation.


Methods [Extract from related publication]:  A retrospective study was performed to ascertain the diagnostic yield of sputum specimens collected in the Torres Strait Islands. The study assessed demographics and characteristics of all PTB cases diagnosed between 2000 and 2018, and assessed the diagnostic yield in 143 patients from whom at least three sputum specimens had been collected prior to treatment commencement. Incremental and cumulative yield was calculated for each sputum specimen. Data were further analysed using binary logistic regression to examine the association between selected characteristics and a smear-positive acid-fast bacilli (AFB) result. Patients were included if at least three specimens were collected within 2 weeks of each other, prior to commencement of effective TB treatment; and at least one specimen was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis on culture or nucleic acid testing.

This record consists of:

  • 1 SPSS (.sav) file which includes the variables for descriptive statistics
  • 1 SPSS (.sav) file containing laboratory-based data, including three sputum specimens per patient plus diagnostic yield (nucleic acid amplification test / acid-fast bacilli)

Data files are also saved in csv. format
