Abstract
US guidelines recommend interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) for diagnosis of tuberculosis infection in children. In this retrospective cohort study, IGRA use in children 2-17 years of age increased substantially between 2015 and 2021. Testing in inpatient/subspecialty settings (vs. primary care), public (vs. private) insurance, lower age and non-English preferred language were associated with increased odds of receiving an IGRA.
