Targets for incidence rates and objectives on case management and laboratory reporting are established on the basis of performance reported in NTIP using — data from the National TB surveillance system. For Sputum Culture Conversion and Completion of Treatment, the latest year with data available is Targets are based on a statistical model that uses data to find trends from through or the latest year with data available.
TB programs with fewer than cases from — were excluded. For each objective, we used a quantile regression model to estimate the 90th percentile for each year, and extrapolated the fitted model to predict the estimated 90th percentile in the year , which served as the target for The quantile regression serves to establish a smooth trend over time, which is useful since the actual percentiles in any given year e.
