1 Cost Comparison and Clinical Evaluation of a Blood Test for Tuberculosis (TB) in a Correctional Setting Princess Adaku Iroh, M.Sc. Academic and Health Policy Conference on Correctional Health March 20th, 2015
2 Disclosures Research Funding provided by QIAGEN
3 Educational Goals & Objectives 1) To describe the long term difference in costs between the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) blood test for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in the Dallas County Jail (DCJ) 2) To describe the prevalence of LTBI in the DCJ as measured by the TST and the QFT-GIT test 3) To describe the HIV positivity rate and HIV risk behaviors in the cohort tested for LTBI while entering the DCJ
4 Presentation Outline Background Methods Results Discussion Conclusion
5 Background Globally, 9 million people develop active TB annually United States in 2013: 9,582 active TB cases Four states (CA, TX, NY, and FL) accounted for half of these cases TX, 2013: 1,222 TB cases 164 (13.4%) dx in a correctional facility 53 (32.3%) occurred in local jails 4,300-5,900 TSTs are placed per month at Dallas County Jail Requiring 8 full time-equivalent nurses or medical aides Includes staff time for reading TST result at inmate s cell
6 TB screening Limitations Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) Variability in placement and interpretation of result Requires return visit after hrs. Cross reaction with BCG vaccine, Non TB Mycobacterium (NTM) No controls used Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) Standard interpretation of laboratory result Does not require a return visit Test is unaffected by BCG vaccine, limited NTM crossreactivity Positive and negative controls Sensitivity 59-97% 81-83% Specificity 70-89% 99% Cost/test $1 $37
7 Presentation Outline Background Methods Results Discussion Conclusion
8 Study Recruitment Single study site: Dallas County Jail (DCJ) Enrollment period: June October 2014 Goal Enrollment: 500 subjects Recruitment location: Classification area Inclusion criteria: Inmate, age 18 or older No prior LTBI or active TB Speak English and be able to provide informed consent Exclusion criteria: Completed and documented TST in past 3 months Ineligible to have TST placed
9 Dallas County Jail - Study Site 7th largest county jail Average daily intake of 275 new arrestees Average daily census of 6200 inmates 77% Male, 23% Female Health care delivery by Parkland Hospital
10 Study Procedures After recruitment, HIPPA and participation consent, each inmate completed: 1. TB/HIV Risk Questionnaire 2. Blood draw for HIV Ab then QFT-GIT 3. TST placement (per DCJ protocol) 4. QFT-GIT samples transported to the Children s Medical Center of Dallas (CMC) Laboratory 5. Research team notified of indeterminate results or insufficient sample, otherwise blinded
11 Time-in-Motion Sub-study Research assistant timed (with a stopwatch) multiple iterations of the following: TST placement (TB staff and security time) TST reading (TB staff and security time) QFT-GIT blood draw (phlebotomy and security time) Chest X-ray (radiology technician and security time, interpretation) Treatment/consultation (MD, nurse and pharmacist time)

18 Presentation Outline Background Methods Results Conclusion Discussion
19 Conclusions QFT-GIT positivity was unexpectedly high (13.4%) and much higher than TST positivity (2.6%) Bundled QFT-GIT/ HIV testing was acceptable and 2.5% of individuals were HIV-infected (all prior known infections) Time-in-motion/Cost Analysis QFT testing more time-efficient, though overall cost higher Potentially a more accurate screening tool for LTBI If QFT-GIT better at identifying active TB than may result in cost savings QFT provides a platform to include screening for other public health infections
20 Why high QFT+ test results? False positives unlikely Average quantitative results well above positivity cut-off Validated 10 QFT tests same results from different lab Rikers reported initial QFT-GIT+ at 10% Recent TB outbreak in homeless shelters in Dallas County High discordance between TST & QFT TST re-reading Performed an internal audit on 73 inmates 7 (9.5%) initially read as negative had + TST QFT could be identifying more LTBI and/or active TB in a high risk population
