Cost-effectiveness of preventive treatment regimens for latent tuberculosis infection among key community-level populations
Rapid TPT implementation for all WHO-recommended populations and individuals with LTBI aged ≥ 50 at the community level is critical to achieving TB elimination by 2035. The 3HR regimen, widely performed in clinical practice in China, offers the greatest cost-effectiveness, which provides health economic evidence to expand this regimen further.
