Results from the uncertainty analysis: estimates of cure rates from studies in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, and Tororo, Uganda.

	Tororo N = 401	Bobo-Dioulasso N = 827
Number of recurrent infections	232	75
Number of recrudescent infections identified by PCR-correction based on genotyping of msp2	145	50
Cure rate (95% CI^a) calculated by PCR-correction based on genotyping of msp2 (%)	63.8 (59.0 – 68.4)	94.0 (92.1 – 95.4)
95% SI^b of likely cure rates adjusted for only for uncertainty (%)^c	77.4 – 80.5	94.9 – 95.1
95% SI of likely cure rates generated by Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis (%)	74.6 – 83.3	93.5 – 96.5

. CI = confidence interval;

. SI = simulation interval;

. This interval does not take sampling error into account.
