a Standard long-course = 6 months of injectable kanamycin and 18–24 months of oral moxifloxacin, ethionamide, terizidone, and pyrazinamide

b Individualized long-course = bedaquiline was introduced as a substitute for kanamycin in the standard long-course regimen (either at start of DR-TB or switched during treatment due to an incident adverse event)

c Standard short-course = 4 to 6-month intensive phase of kanamycin, moxifloxacin, ethionamide, clofazimine, pyrazinamide and high-dose isoniazid followed by 5 months of moxifloxacin, clofazimine, pyrazinamide and ethambutol

d Individualized short-course = bedaquiline was introduced as a substitute for kanamycin in the standard short-course regimen (either at start of DR-TB or switched during treatment due to an incident adverse event)
