aPopulation-based trachomatous inflammation–follicular (TF) prevalence derived from cluster-level proportions adjusted for age in 1 year agebands using the latest available census data

b95% Confidence intervals estimated by bootstrapping adjusted cluster-level proportions over 10,000 replicates. Zero-count estimate upper confidence interval limits estimated as a one-sided 97.5% exact binomial confidence interval.

cPopulation-based trichiasis prevalence derived from cluster-level proportions adjusted for sex and age in 5 year agebands using the latest available census data

dData on trachomatous scarring (TS) recorded for all subjects, or for eyes with trichiasis (see text), in these surveys, so the trichiasis prevalence estimates here may be accurately referred to as trachomatous trichiasis (TT) prevalence estimates.

eFirst-phase, paper-based surveys.
