  1. aAverage annual percent change is calculated by assuming a constant annual percent change between the first and last years of TB case notification rate estimates based on available high-quality data during 2010–2015; positive values indicate an increase in TB incidence while negative numbers indicate a decrease
  2. bAbsolute increase in ART coverage is defined as the difference between ART coverage in 2015 and ART coverage in 2010
