| Abstract |
We determined the accuracy of the new Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in children, using banked-induced sputum. Sensitivity and specificity were 75.3% and 96.9%, respectively, compared with a culture result from the same specimen. Of those children with microbiologically confirmed tuberculosis (positive Xpert, Ultra or culture), Xpert detected 63.2%, Ultra 73.7% and culture 82.9%. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2023.
All research outputs
#6,498,682
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal
#1,792
of 6,290 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#107,764
of 354,551 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal
#34
of 96 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,290 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 354,551 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 96 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
