Abstract
A number of clinical/disease areas have been prioritised by the TSB and DH for the DIIA Innovation Platform. To support commissioning of technology developments in the area of tuberculosis detection in humans, a scoping review has been undertaken to help identify the specific requirements for new diagnostic test development and likely payback in the area of point of care (POC) tuberculosis tests in the UK.
There has been a gradual rise in the number of tuberculosis (TB) cases observed in the UK over the last 20 years, with a 4.2% rise in 2009 giving an overall 9,040 TB cases diagnosed or 15 cases per 100,000 population [1].
The aims of this economic review are to identify available information on the following for tuberculosis (TB):
- economic burden of disease in the UK;
- current NHS cost of TB detection and cost of treating identified TB cases;
- evidence on cost-effectiveness of current tests for detection of active and latent TB infection; and
- estimates of the economic benefits which new POC tests might provide in the UK.
