Data associated with the publication: Evaluation of underweight status may improve identification of the highest-risk patients during outpatient evaluation for pulmonary tuberculosis

This dataset is an anonymized subset of the data collected by the STOMP-TB study (A Comprehensive Snapshot of Tuberculosis Transmission in an Urban Ugandan Community). The included records are from patients who were diagnosed with pulmonary TB through routine care at one of four health facilities in Kampala, Uganda, or control patients who underwent TB evaluation with a negative result at the same facilities. The included variables were used for analysis of underweight status, characteristic TB symptoms, and probability of bacteriologically-confirmed TB in the publication “Evaluation of underweight status may improve identification of the highest-risk patients during outpatient evaluation for pulmonary tuberculosis” by PJ Kitonsa et al. (Plos One, accepted December 2020). (2020-12)
