Tamil Nadu becomes first state to adopt TB death prediction model
Tamil Nadu is the first state to implement a model that predicts the probability of death among adults with Tuberculosis and has integrated it with the state-wide application TB SeWA. The model, developed by ICMR's National Institute of Epidemiology, will help frontline staff prioritise severely ill TB patients with a high probability of death, Dr Manoj Murhekar, NIE's director, said.
