Bivariate analysis and Multivariate logistic regression for TST results and QFT results.
<p>TST: Tuberculin Skin Test, QFT: QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube, MTC-score: <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> contact score, BCG: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin.</p>#<p>Categorical variables expressed as percentage (%) and quantitative variables expressed as mean and interquartile range (IQR).</p>a<p>In the 12 weeks prior to the study.</p>b<p>Linear odds ratio.</p
Odds ratio and confidence interval of 95% for the Tuberculin Skin Test âTSTâ (blue) and QuantiFERON-TB Gold in-Tube âQFTâ (red) positive results according to the intensity of exposure to index case by <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> contact score (MTC-score).
<p>The MTC-score is from 0 to 15 and is based on the assumption that the gradient of <i>Mtb</i> exposure is a composite function of the infectivity of the index case (0â4), the duration of exposure -hours per day- (0â4), the relationship to index case (0â4) and the type of exposure (0â3).</p
Comparison of the TST and QFT results.
