Data Source Notes

Estimates of TB incidence are produced through a consultative and analytical process led by WHO and are published annually. These estimates are based on annual case notifications, assessments of the quality and coverage of TB notification data, national surveys of the prevalence of TB disease, and information from death (vital) registration systems. Estimates of incidence for each country are derived, using one or more of the following approaches depending on available data:

  1. incidence = case notifications/estimated proportion of cases detected;
  2. incidence = prevalence/duration of condition;
  3. incidence = deaths/proportion of incident cases that die.

These estimates of TB incidence are combined with country-reported data on the number of cases detected and treated, and the percentage of cases successfully treated, as described above.
