Model parameters

Description Value Distribution Source/Remarks
p, proportion cured by preventive therapy 0–1 Estimated by fitting
λ, annual risk of M. tuberculosis infection 0+ Estimated by fitting
dRi=1, risk of disease in first year following reinfection, per year 5% Normal (mean = 5, 95%, CI = 1–10) (10,11)
dRi=2, risk of disease in second year following reinfection, per year 0.41 × dRi=1 (10)
dL, risk of disease due to reactivation in Latent stage, per year 0.13 × dRi=1 (10)
RRR, relative risk of disease following recent reinfection in HIV+ vs. HIV−, per year Depends on CD4 (SI Appendix)
µ, ratio RRR:RRL 3:1 Normal (mean = 3, 95%, CI = 1–5) (14)
RRL, relative risk of disease following reactivation in HIV+ vs. HIV−, per year = RRR / µ

CI, confidence interval.
