With regard to the economic study on the diagnosis of LTBI, for both strategies, and taking into account the costs of the entire LTBI process of care and treatment, QF-G-IT is shown as the most cost-effective strategy. Besides, it also avoids the potential adverse effects and impact on quality of life of an unnecessary treatment due to false positive TST in vaccinated patients.</p><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In July 2005, the CDC recommended that QF-G-IT could be used in all circumstances in which the TST is currently used, including contact investigations, evaluation of recent immigrants and epidemiological surveillance in certain groups for infection control, for example, health care workers, etc.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0310"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> This recommendation was also reinforced by the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">National Tuberculosis Controllers Association</span> in the case of contact studies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0315"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> According to these recommendations, the QF-G-IT can be used instead of, not in addition to, the skin test during the study of the contacts.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0320"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23–25</span></a> A positive QF-G-IT result should be interpreted similarly to the TST, considering the infected patient.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0310"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21,22</span></a> According to these recommendations there is no reason to perform a TST before or after a positive QF-G-IT result.</p><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, other authors have suggested intermediate strategies, in which the TST would continue to be the initial choice test and IGRA would be used to confirm positive TST results.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0335"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26–28</span></a></p><p id="par0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Even other authors or medical societies have openly advocated to maintain the universal use of TST and IGRA in special situations.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0350"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29–31</span></a> The fundamental criterion for this method is primarily related to the cost-effectiveness relationship for both techniques, taking into account that the TST is less expensive.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0365"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">32–35</span></a> This approach, which may seem correct if we evaluate only the direct costs of both techniques, has been challenged by the cost-effectiveness studies published by different research projects in recent years.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0370"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">33–38</span></a> In our study, as expected, the TST technique is cheaper than the QF-G-IT, which is explained by the low costs of the TST, based on a simple intradermal inoculation. In contrast, the QF-G-IT requires an accurate processing of the blood sample in the laboratory followed by performing the technique itself, which is usually done in kits containing up to 28 tests per plate. However, the calculation of the actual costs of this test, considering all the variables, such as necessary visits for reading, the associated cost of nonadherence to the reading and also the costs for the patient, increases its value. Given the results of our study, in 100 patients there is a saving of €265, which extrapolated to 1000 patients could save €2650. Apart from the economic aspect, an essential factor in our opinion is the number of treatments that can be avoided thanks to using the QF-G-IT technique, which in our case reached 20% of the contacts. This is where the IGRA clearly demonstrates its cost-effectiveness in contact patients.</p><p id="par0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our results are in line with the most recent studies, which show that the QF-G-IT is at least as cost-effective as the TST, and more cost-effective if the patient is not adherent to the TST reading visit, which occurs frequently.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0385"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">36–40</span></a></p><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our data are similar to those found in other studies<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0410"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">41</span></a> as it coincides with the fact that the QF-G-IT is a very useful technique in detecting LTBI and also has a good correlation with TST, especially in the case of BCG unvaccinated contacts. Also, it has a very good specificity in the case of a negative result. The agreement was lower, predictably, in the vaccinated group, where the QF-G-IT detected false positives in TST due to the vaccine. In the unvaccinated group there is a remarkable improvement in agreement as the false positives in TST decrease. According to agreement, sensitivity and specificity criteria, the QF-G-IT should be considered, in our view, the test of choice (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">gold standard</span>) for LTBI screening in cases of contacts with pulmonary TB patients.</p><p id="par0205" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although our cohort of contacts is not very large and is limited to our centre, it is representative of the geographic area of reference and these results should not be different from those obtained by other groups in general, especially in our country, as similar protocols are followed, protocols which we have taken into account when conducting the cost analysis.</p><p id="par0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We have observed a higher cost-benefit in the diagnostic strategy of the contact study based on QF-G-IT, even when the number of people analysed was not very high. Extrapolating larger populations, especially if there is a high percentage of vaccinated subjects in the same, these differences would be expected to be higher in favour of QF-G-IT. We recommend using the QF G-IT as a diagnostic technique of choice for detecting LTBI in adult contacts with pulmonary TB patients, especially if they are cohabiting and the index case is smear-positive for bacilli, avoiding the TST.</p></span><span id="sec0050" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0110">Financial support</span><p id="par0215" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This work was financially supported by <span class="elsevierStyleGrantSponsor" id="gs1">Hospital Universitari Mutua Terrassa</span> Research Grant, 2010.</p></span><span id="sec0055" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Conflict of interests</span><p id="par0220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare no conflict of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:11 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres630785" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" "titulo" => "Methods" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0020" "titulo" => "Conclusion" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec643603" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres630786" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0025" "titulo" => "Introducción" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0030" "titulo" => "Método" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0035" "titulo" => "Resultados" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0040" "titulo" => "Conclusión" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec643604" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Materials and methods" "secciones" => array:2 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Statistical analysis" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Cost and diagnostic strategies study" ] ] ] 6 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Results" "secciones" => array:3 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Analysis of the techniques studied" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Analysis of agreement" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0040" "titulo" => "Technique economic study" ] ] ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0045" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0050" "titulo" => "Financial support" ] 9 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0055" "titulo" => "Conflict of interests" ] 10 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2014-06-10" "fechaAceptado" => "2014-11-20" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec643603" "palabras" => array:6 [ 0 => "Pulmonary tuberculosis" 1 => "Tuberculin skin test" 2 => "Interferon-γ release assays" 3 => "QuantiFERON<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>-TB Gold In-Tube" 4 => "Concordance analysis" 5 => "Cost-effectiveness analysis" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec643604" "palabras" => array:6 [ 0 => "Tuberculosis pulmonar" 1 => "Prueba de la tuberculina" 2 => "Análisis de liberación del interferón-γ" 3 => "QuantiFERON<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>-TB Gold In-Tube" 4 => "Estudio de concordancia" 5 => "Estudio de coste beneficio" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Introduction</span><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Recently diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) can be made using the tuberculin skin test (TST) or by techniques known as interferon-γ release assays (IGRAS), being QuantiFERON<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>-TB Gold In-Tube (QF-G-IT) the most used.
