95% confidence intervals are shown in parentheses. The number of notified MDR-TB cases, percentage of tuberculosis (TB) cases with MDR-TB, and the notified and estimated incidence of MDR-TB by case type are shown. Results for the entire country and the subset of those diagnosed within the penitentiary system are shown. Any notable annual trends within the entire dataset are indicated in the footnotes and shown in full in tables S7 and S8. DST: drug susceptibility testing sufficient to diagnose MDR-TB. #: exact binomial confidence interval using method of Agresti and Coull [18]; ¶: confidence intervals estimated using the Delta method; +: the MDR-TB incidence per capita estimated from the entire database fell each year (driven by the decrease in TB incidence per capita), the total figure for 2010 was 49.62 (based on all methods of TB diagnosis); §: includes 22 cases that initiated treatment abroad.
