Data are risk ratio (95 %CI), % (95% CI), AUC (95% CI), or NNS or NNT (95% CI). ITT=intention to treat. mITT=modified intention-to-treat. IGRA=interferon γ release assay. AUC=area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. PPV=positive predictive value. NPV=negative predictive value. NNS=number needed to screen. NNT=number needed to treat.

*

Computed over 15-month prognostic window. Performance of RISK11 and IGRA for incident tuberculosis over 6-month and 12-month prognostic windows is in the appendix (p 16).

RISK11 score threshold at 60% or 26%.

AUC is computed across all score thresholds and value is presented under RISK11 (60).

§

Computed using the prevalence and incidence rates in the trial population as appropriate.

Computed assuming 2% annual incidence of tuberculosis in the population.

NNS for prevalent tuberculosis; NNT for incident tuberculosis. Performance of RISK11 and IGRA for prevalent and incident tuberculosis based on secondary endpoint (≥1 sample+) is in the appendix (p 15).
