dc.description.abstractUS 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 2015–2021. 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 IGRAen_US
