All forms of TB are included, including cases in people living with HIV. Published values are rounded to three significant figures. Uncertainty bounds are provided in addition to best estimates. See Annex 1 of the WHO global tuberculosis control report | ##### Rationale Incidence (cases arising in a given time period, usually one year) gives an indication of the burden of TB in a population, and of the size of the task faced by a national TB control programme. Incidence can change as the result of changes in transmission (the rate at which people become infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis), or changes in the rate at which people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis develop TB disease (e.g. as a result of changes in nutritional status or of HIV infection). Because TB can develop in people who became infected many years previously, the effect of TB control on incidence is less rapid than the effect on prevalence or mortality. Target 6.c of the Millenium development Goals is to "have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases". Indicator 6.9 is defined as "incidence, prevalence and death rates associated with TB". ##### Definition The estimated number of new and relapse tuberculosis (TB) cases arising in a given year, expressed as the rate per 100 000 population. All forms of TB are included, including cases in people living with HIV. Published values are rounded to three significant figures. Uncertainty bounds are provided in addition to best estimates. See Annex 1 of the WHO global tuberculosis control report ##### Method of estimation 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 on information from death (vital) registration systems. Estimates of incidence for each country are derived using one or more of the following approaches, depending on the 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 Uncertainty bounds are provided in addition to best estimates. Details are available from "Policy and recommendations for how to assess the epidemiological burden of TB and the impact of TB control" and Annex 1 of the WHO global tuberculosis control report | [] |
