#' Data used to model a triage scoring scale for a Danish emergency department.
#'
#' The Lackey study was a prospective cohort study of adult smear-positive
#' tuberculosis (TB) patients enrolled between January 2010 and December 2011
#'  with no prior TB disease.  Data from the cohort was used to model the association
#'  of several predictors with a treatment interruption before the complete
#'  courses of therapy. The analysis of treatment outcome in original article
#'  uses methods for binary data.  A time-to-event analysis might be more
#'  appropriate but the dataset does not have data sufficient for that analysis.
