Description
Jessica Edelyne is lead author of a 2026 protocol, a published plan, for a systematic review and meta-analysis of C-reactive protein as a predictor of tuberculosis outcomes. Tuberculosis still kills many patients despite standard treatment. No blood marker from the patient's own body is routinely used to forecast who will do badly.
The planned review will gather cohort and related studies of adults with confirmed pulmonary or organ tuberculosis. Those studies must have measured C-reactive protein near diagnosis. C-reactive protein is a general inflammation marker. They must also have reported deaths with effect estimates. Searches cover six databases, including preprint servers. Study quality will be judged with a prognosis-specific tool and evidence certainty with a standard grading system. No results are reported in a protocol.
