结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of latent tuberculosis infection developed in Korean health care workers
时间窗: Three months
The participants performed QuaniFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-IT test) and blood sampling at enrollment. So, the length of time which from the start of the first test of very first participants to the end of test of very last participant is 3 months. The percentage of participants with LTBI in health care workers was evaluated.
次要结局
- Annual incidence of latent tuberculosis infection in Korean health care workers(1 year after first QFT-IT test (12-15 months))
