Projected Proportion “Overtreated” in That They Would be Expected to Clear Without Treatment

Age at Treatment, Mo	Percent of All Infections That Will Clear Without Treatment (95% CrI)	Percent of All Remaining Infections That Will Clear Without Treatment (95% CrI)
6	74.3 (54.3–87.6)	59.0 (42.0–76.9)
18	33.6 (17.0–51.8)	39.7 (17.9–65.9)
36	12.8 (3.8–23.1)	20.9 (4.6–44.8)

Estimated proportion of all confirmed infections that would be potentially overtreated if treatment began at each age (public health perspective). Estimated proportion of remaining confirmed infections overtreated at each age (clinical perspective).

Abbreviation: CrI, credible interval.
