Note: *Since the samples were not tested by culture, 17.8% does not truly represent sensitivity. Since the LED smear is not good enough in sensitivity, nor does 81.9% represent a true false positive. B Presumptive tuberculosis and bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis cases in Tanzania study sites from January to December 2022. Note: *Children versus adults bacteriologically confirmed TB: 5% (129/2508) versus 12% (3542/30,735), odds ratio 0.42, 95% confidence interval: 0.35–0.50, p value, 0.001
