NTEP Performance Indicator - Treatment Success Rate
This indicator measures the programme capacity to retain the patients initiated on TB treatment to complete the same for a successful outcome.
Indicator | Numerator | Denominator | Multiplier | Data source |
Treatment Success rate | Number of TB patients with treatment outcomes given as successful | Number of TB cases notified during the same period of the previous year | 100 | Ni-kshay |
The successful outcome can be either cured or treatment completed.
- This is monitored by a cohort. A cohort of notified TB cases is followed-up over a period of time to see the treatment's success.
- As the TB treatment takes at least six months to complete, there is a delay in the assessment of the outcome. Hence, the denominator is the number of notified cases of the previous year's same period.
- The treatment outcome of the previous year’s notified cases is given as the success rate of the subsequent year.
Example:
In District C, a total of 310 TB cases were notified and followed up in the year 2020. Out of them, 308 were started on treatment, 200 patients were documented as treatment completed and 100 patients as cured in Ni-kshay.
The treatment success rate for the year 2021 is: {(200 +100) / 310} * 100 = 96%

Treatment success rate measures the programme’s capacity to retain patients through a complete course of treatment with a favorable outcome
Treatment Success rate =
Numerator and Denominator
Description
Data source
Number of patients with treatment outcome given as successful(Numerator)
Successful outcome can be either cured or treatment completed.
Ni-kshay
Number of TB cases notified during the same period of the previous year (Denominator)
As the treatment of TB lasts 6 to 8 months, there is a delay in assessment of treatment outcome and the same patients are followed up to see the outcome, hence the denominator includes the previous year patients
Ni-kshay
Example
In a district C total number of TB Cases notified in year 2020 was 310 and were followed up.‘
Out of them 200 patients were documented as treatment completed and 100 patients as cured in Ni-kshay
The treatment success rate of the year 2021 is
= 96%
