Optimising fluorescein diacetate sputum smear microscopy for assessing patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (original) (raw)
Table 3
Validation study.
Table demonstrating the factors that improved the quality of slides if fluorescein diacetate (FDA) microscopy was positive (n = 122). The quality score was transformed to a binary variable, above and below the median score, and logistic regression with random effects was used to adjust for inter-sample variation.
