  • Highlighted entries indicates target power and respective sample size estimates based on knowledge of TB risk, ability to produce and submit sputum, and loss to follow-up.

  • Stata code: power two proportions 0.5 and 0.6, test (χ2), power (0.80), n ratio (1).

  • SoC, standard of care; TB, tuberculosis.
