Map of review showing the number of eligible studies, according to reference standard and target condition, which performed direct testing
Target condition, drug resistance to... | Reference standard | |||
Culture, n/N (%) | Genetic testing, n/N (%) | Genetic and culture testing, n/N (%) | Culture followed by genetic testing of discordant results, n/N (%) | |
Fluoroquinolones | 7/7 (100)† | 0 | 0 | 2/7 (29) |
Ofloxacin | 3/7 (43) | 0 | 0 | 1/7 (14) |
Second-line injectable drugs | 6/6 (100)† | 0 | 0 | 2/5 (40) |
Amikacin | 4/6 (67) | 0 | 0 | 1/6 (17) |
Kanamycin | 4/6 (67) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Capreomycin | 6/6 (100) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
XDR-TB | 3/3 (100) | 0 | 0 | 1/3 (34) |
A total of six and five studies were included that evaluated MTBDRsl against a fluoroquinolone and a second-line injectable drug, culture reference standard. These form the denominators to generate percentages of these studies that included a particular additional reference standard.
