Cost-effectiveness and budget impact of decentralising childhood tuberculosis diagnosis: a mathematical modelling study in six high tuberculosis incidence countries

BackgroundThe burden of childhood tuberculosis remains high globally, largely due to under-diagnosis. Decentralising childhood tuberculosis diagnosis services to lower health system levels could improve case detection, but there is little empirically based evidence on cost-effectiveness or budget impact. MethodsWe assessed the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of decentralising a comprehensive diagnosis package... Show more
