Abstract
- Since 2014, Brazil has gradually implemented the Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) test to enhance early tuberculosis (TB) and drug-resistant (DR-TB) detection and control, yet its nationwide impact remains underexplored. Our study conducts an intervention time-series analysis (ITSA) to evaluate how the Xpert's implementation has improved TB and DR-TB detection nationwide.
