CODA TB DREAM Challenge

The CODA TB DREAM Challenge asks you to predict TB status using features extracted from elicited coughs, either in the presence or absence of demographic and clinical factors used routinely for TB screening.

Data collected from people who presented to clinics across 7 countries with new or worsening cough for at least 2 weeks. Elicited coughs were recorded using the Hyfe Research app. Individuals were then comprehensively evaluated for TB with sputum-based molecular (Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra) and culture (MGIT or Lowenstein-Jensen) testing.
