Sensitivity, specificity and positive likelihood ratio of early empiric treatment, the urine LAM strip test, and CXR for TB diagnosis in hospitalised HIV-infected patients using the definite and probable-TB groups for sensitivity, and the non-TB groups for specificity analyses.

†Any patient commenced on TB treatment within 24 hours of hospital admission based only on clinical and radiological findings, and prior to the availability of any smear or culture results, is included in this group.
P-values indicate significant differences between tests (marked with * and number to indicate comparison group) for different diagnostic accuracy measures.
