1) Excluding 2 with missing data for directly observed therapy. * Partial DOT = DOT used for less than the full duration of treatment (clinicians opted to transition select patients to self-administered therapy (SAT) at the end of the intensive phase of treatment, or initiated DOT in patients previously treated by SAT in whom clinical, radiographic or microbiologic response to treatment was delayed). 2) Excluding 3 with missing data for intensive phase. 3) Excluding 9 with missing data for continuation phase.
