“…Across the 51 studies, 34 studies looked at TST alone and 9 studies looked at IGRAs alone [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]; 8 studies compared TST and IGRAs [66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. Just 8 studies excluded those with active TB from their study [23,32,34,50,66,68,69,71]. Only 16 studies reported on BCG vaccination with 9 using BCG scar as evidence of vaccination [28,32,33,53,55,58,60,71,72], 5 using BCG self-reporting as evidence [23,29,35,66,69], and 2 using BCG vaccination schedule in country of origin as a proxy for BCG vaccination [48,73], although BCG vaccination rates varied considerably across studies (0-100 %).…”
