Comparison between ‘reported’ and ‘actual’ health care index (HCI) scores in Eastern Europe (EE) and Western Europe (WE)

Indicator (mean)	EE			WE
	Reported	Actual	P-value	Reported	Actual	P-value
Routine DST	0.88 (0.72–1.04)	0.34 (0.31–0.37)	0.03	0.94 (0.82–1.06)	0.62 (0.55–0.68)	0.18
RHZE initiated	1.75 (1.43–2.07)	0.99 (0.92–1.08)	0.03	2.00 (−)	1.52 (1.40–1.63)	NA
cART ≤ 2 months	1.00 (0.51–1.49)	0.90 (0.82–0.96)	0.78	1.00 (0.57–1.55)	1.43 (1.31–1.55)	0.27
Total score	3.63 (3.08–4.18)	2.23 (2.12–2.34)	0.002	4.00 (3.47–4.53)	3.56 (3.37–3.75)	0.28

n = 33 treatment centres (16 in EE and 17 in WE).

Figures represent mean HCI score per centre (reported) and per patient (actual) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Please note that for the WE reported RHZE score it was not possible to calculate a 95% CI as every centre answered positively.

Maximum HCI scores per indicator: routine DST: 1; RHZE: 2; cART ≤ 2 months: 2.

cART, combination antiretroviral therapy; DST, drug susceptibility testing; NA, not applicable; RZHE, rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol.
