Key Impacts

Refining research outcomes: Lessons from the setup of an endpoint review committee in TB observational diagnostic studies

Standardized tuberculosis classification frameworks and real-time expert review can improve diagnostic accuracy and comparability across studies. Future research should integrate ERC processes prospectively to refine tuberculosis case definitions and ensure robust clinical and research outcomes.
