Bridging Borders: Transporting tuberculosis algorithms for real-world impact across diverse settings

In a global health era, algorithms use real-world evidence (RWE) to guide clinical decisions across regions. Yet, differences in demographics, resources, and epidemic profile often weaken their external validity. This symposium tackles the limited transportability of algorithms, focusing on pediatric tuberculosis (TB) treatment decisions, where diagnostics and resource variability create evidence gaps and methods to enhance transportability.
