Costs to implement general population mobile chest x-ray screening for tuberculosis in Uganda

This repository contains the minimal underlying data, costing inputs, and analytic code supporting the manuscript “Costs to implement general population mobile chest x-ray screening for tuberculosis in Uganda.” The materials are sufficient to reproduce all results reported in the article, including screening volumes, diagnostic cascade outcomes, and time-driven activity-based costing analyses. To protect participant privacy, shared datasets are de-identified and limited to variables required for analysis. Patient-derived data include a minimized screening dataset capturing chest X-ray screening, sputum submission, Xpert results, and computer-aided detection scores, as well as a minimized tuberculin skin test (TST) cascade dataset containing only variables needed to apply eligibility criteria and reproduce TST placement, reading, and positivity outcomes. Direct identifiers and extraneous fields from the original data sources have been removed. The repository also includes input cost tables, staff and participant time data, and R scripts used to generate the analyses and sensitivity scenarios presented in the manuscript, along with documentation describing file contents and recommended execution order. Together, these materials enable transparent evaluation and reproducibility of the study’s findings while adhering to ethical and data-protection considerations.
