  1. Note: all estimates are from one imputed dataset using the model specified for the pooled analyses. Unless otherwise stated, estimates are for a female patient in 1949 with pulmonary TB at Institution 2, smear negative on admission and discharge. Years representative of era were taken to be the midpoint between era designations
  2. * p < 0.005 in pooled analysis
