Validation of a health care index for short term mortality for tuberculosis (TB) among People Living with HIV
We hypothesize that a Health Care Index (HCI) derived from a European TB/HIV co-infection cohort does equally predict the probability for death in other cohorts from various settings.

Availability of mental health management in the context of TB diagnosis and during TB treatment across WHO European Region
Christina Vilaplana, Olena Rzhepishevska, Olha Konstantynovska
We hypothesise that mental health both in diagnosis and during TB treatment is underreported, poorly managed and appropriate guidelines are potentially missing in the WHO European Region

Our survey is expected to identify the causes of shortages in every participating country

Screening and Treatment of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection (TBI) in Migrants
Heinke Kunst
This study hypothesises that significant variation exists in TBI management among migrants in Europe, driven by differences in national screening policies, healthcare access and training.

Evaluation of an Educational Escape Room in an International, Multidisciplinary Learning Environment
Raquel Duarte, Thomas Brehm, Ohanna Kirakosyan, Chiara Sepulcri
We hypothesize that an educational escape room is a feasible and well-received teaching format in an international, multidisciplinary tuberculosis training context, as evidenced by high satisfaction scores, strong participation rates, improved knowledge integration, increased self-reported confidence, and positive teamwork reflections.
