Impact of molecular diagnostic tests on diagnostic and treatment delays in tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Technical delay is defined as time between sample arrival at the laboratory to test result and treatment delays experienced by TB patients, no study has summarized the impact of NAATs on reducing time delays in diagnosis and treatment of TB. The authors also describe methodological areas of concern in assessing time delays, an aspect that has not been adequately addressed in previous systematic reviews of diagnostic delays in TB. This framework standardized time delays and provided structural guidance in Sample delay Technical delay Reporting delay Treatment delay Diagnostic delay Definition Time between specimen collection . . .
