Objective: To establish a discriminant model and to provide a relatively accurate scientific basis for the early diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and detection of the close contacts.
Methods: Through logistic regression analysis, key factors were selected according to Bayes theory and key factors of TB incidence of the close contacts were screened as well as a discriminant model was established.
Results: The non-TB incidence discriminant function of the close contacts was described as: Y1= -39.
