Notes:

a

Numbers for mortality, prevalence and incidence shown to two significant figures. Totals (HBCs, regional and global) are computed prior to rounding;

b

mortality excludes deaths among HIV-positive TB cases. Deaths among HIV-positive TB cases are classified as HIV deaths according to ICD-10;

c

best, low and high indicate the point estimate and lower and upper bounds of the 95% uncertainty interval;

d

estimates for India have not yet been officially approved by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and should therefore be considered provisional;
