Article Synopsis
- There is currently no fast and accurate test for diagnosing tuberculous meningitis (TBM), which often delays treatment; this study aimed to create a better diagnostic tool by using a variety of data from past studies across different populations.* -
- The research involved 3,761 participants from 14 studies, identifying key predictive factors like cerebrospinal fluid glucose and HIV status, and analyzed the data using techniques like logistic regression and random forest regression.* -
- The resulting mobile app for TBM diagnosis shows promising accuracy, with further validation needed to confirm its effectiveness in diverse clinical settings.*

It became available in Romania in early 2021.
