Notes:^{^} If the study has not detailed the year of data collection, it is assumed < year of publication

*Diagnostic method: Smear = smear or uncategorized sputum methodology. Clinical = current TB treatment, self-report, X-ray. If a paper uses multiple methods, it is classified according to the most sensitive method according to the following descending order: culture, smear and clinical (e.g. if smear + culture classified as culture, if x-ray and smear classified as smear)

# Population figures are inclusive of non-indigenous participants in the comparative studies

^≠Where studies utilize a screening method to determine the population to be tested, this is detailed. Chest symptoms include-persistent cough, chest pain, fever, hemoptysis.
