Indicator Numerator Denominator Multiplier Data source
Percentage of MDR/ RR-TB patients initiated on treatment out of totally diagnosed Number of MDR/ RR-TB patients started on treatment during the defined time period Total number of diagnosed cases of MDR/ RR-TB during the defined time period 100 PMDT quarterly reports

The numerator includes all the cases of MDR and RR initiated on treatment during the defined period.

 

Example:

District X has a total of 2 cases of RR-TB alone and one case of MDR-TB diagnosed in the first quarter of 2021. Two among them were initiated on MDR-TB treatment.

% MDR-TB initiated on treatment out of totally diagnosed during the first quarter of 2021 = {2/ (2+1)} * 100 = 66.6%
