Figure : Estimation of the population-attributable fraction of paediatric tuberculosis transmission due to exposure from the household15,16,1823.

Figure :

We included studies with information available on the prevalence of exposure to tuberculosis within the household at the population level and the relative risk of tuberculosis infection in children exposed to a tuberculosis case in a household compared with children not exposed in the household. Molecular epidemiology, mathematical modelling studies, and studies in which all the components of the population-attributable fraction formula were not extractable are included in table 1, but not included here in this figure. The systematic review on tuberculin surveys includes ten studies2837 but is represented as a pooled value herein, as presented in Martinez and colleagues.18 We also include two data points for Khan and colleagues,16 2018. The population-attributable fraction was taken from the Rockhill and colleagues.27 *Uses any exposure at less than 200 m from the participant’s household (including household exposures) as the parameter. †Uses exposures that occurred only directly inside the participant’s household.
