The accuracy of recording malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) results in public health facilities in Benin; results from the MaCRA project
Abstract
Accurate interpretation and recording of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are critical for case management and surveillance in malaria-endemic settings. In Benin, where over 90% of malaria diagnoses rely on RDTs, concerns remain about the accuracy of the reporting and recording of RDT results. This study assessed the fidelity of RDT recording by healthcare workers (HCWs) in public health facilities and explored associated factors.
