#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Literature-Informed Synthetic TB Screening & Symptom Dataset Generator ====================================================================== Generates realistic synthetic datasets of patients undergoing tuberculosis screening at LMIC health facilities, with demographic data, symptom profiles, HIV co-infection status, diagnostic results (smear, GeneXpert, chest X-ray), and TB classification. Target population: Adults and adolescents (≥15 years) presenting for TB screening at facility-based care in TB-endemic LMIC settings. DAG (Sampling Order): 1. age, sex (roots) 2. hiv_status (scenario-dependent, age/sex-adjusted) 3. bmi (conditional on age, TB status) 4. true_tb_status (from prevalence, conditional on HIV) 5. tb_type (pulmonary vs extrapulmonary) 6. symptoms: cough, fever, night_sweats, weight_loss, hemoptysis 7. smear_result, genexpert_result, cxr_finding (conditional on TB + test performance) 8. tb_classification (derived) References: ----------- [1] WHO (2023).
