No previous systematic reviews have comprehensively investigated the features of Xpert MTB/XDR and other rapid tests to diagnose pre-XDR/XDR-TB. The aim of this systematic review is to assess existing rapid diagnostics for pre-XDR/XDR-TB from a point-of-care perspective and describe their technical characteristics (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values).

Abstract

No previous systematic reviews have comprehensively investigated the features of Xpert MTB/XDR and other rapid tests to diagnose pre-XDR/XDR-TB. The aim of this systematic review is to assess existing rapid diagnostics for pre-XDR/XDR-TB from a point-of-care perspective and describe their technical characteristics (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values).
