Accuracy of CAD4TB (Computer-Aided Detection for Tuberculosis) on paediatric chest radiographs

Background

Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems hold promise for improving tuberculosis (TB) detection on digital chest radiographs. However, data on their performance in exclusively paediatric populations are scarce.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective diagnostic accuracy study evaluating the performance of CAD4TBv7 (Computer-Aided Detection for Tuberculosis version 7) using digital chest radiographs from well-characterised cohorts of Gambian children aged <15 years with presumed pulmonary TB. The children were consecutively recruited between 2012 and 2022. We measured CAD4TBv7 performance against a microbiological reference standard (MRS) of confirmed TB, and also performed Bayesian latent class analysis (LCA) to address the inherent limitations of the MRS in children. Diagnostic performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and point estimates of sensitivity and specificity.

Results

A total of 724 children were included in the analysis, with confirmed TB in 58 (8%), unconfirmed TB in 145 (20%) and unlikely TB in 521 (72%). Using the MRS, CAD4TBv7 showed an AUROC of 0.70 (95% CI 0.60–0.79), and demonstrated sensitivity and specificity of 19.0% (95% CI 11–31%) and 99.0% (95% CI 98.0–100.0%), respectively. Applying Bayesian LCA with the assumption of conditional independence between tests, sensitivity and specificity estimates for CAD4TBv7 were 42.7% (95% CrI 29.2–57.5%) and 97.9% (95% CrI 96.6–98.8%), respectively. When allowing for conditional dependence between culture and Xpert assay, CAD4TBv7 demonstrated a sensitivity of 50.3% (95% CrI 32.9–70.0%) and specificity of 98.0% (95% CrI 96.7–98.9%).

Conclusion

Although CAD4TBv7 demonstrated high specificity, its suboptimal sensitivity underscores the crucial need for optimisation of CAD4TBv7 for detecting TB in children.

'I am not allowed to do anything': Retail worker faces down angry parents after colleague sells parents the wrong computer for kid's gaming ambitions, prevented from helping them by silly company policy

Working retail is a hectic and endless stream of customer interactions that balance on a knife's edge, with any one of them threatening to teeter off into a full-blown customer meltdown with possibly little to no cause. It's a way of living that leaves you emotionally drained and completely exasperated, while weekends end up giving you just enough time to self-isolate and prepare for your next shift.

Meanwhile, despite claiming to have the customer's best interest at heart, upper management makes decisions that only serve to maximize their own bonuses and profit, putting you directly in the firing line for even more hostile interactions with customers. They'll enact some broad-sweeping policy that flies in the face of logical reason and expect you to follow it to the letter, vaguely implying serious consequences should you not blindly obey and refuse to listen to the insistence of everyone that their plan is a bad one. Then, acting like it's the worker's fault when they receive customer complaints about their policy. That's what this retail worker shared experiencing when they recounted this story from their days in retail, facing down belligerent customers whilst handling bizarre directives from their superiors.
