1 Therapy was discontinued for a known reason other than those listed (e.g. patient moved outside the U.S., or patient moved from state A to state B, and though state A notified state B, state B never followed up).

2 Includes patients who were alive at diagnosis, started on treatment, and moved in state.

3 Includes patients who were alive at diagnosis, started on treatment, and moved out of state.

4 Includes patients who were alive at diagnosis, started on treatment, and moved out of the country; transnational referrals were provided for 264 (66.7%) TB patients who moved out of the country.

Note: There may be differences in the way jurisdictions determine treatment completion for patients who moved out of the country; some reporting jurisdictions may be classifying all patients who moved out of the country as ‘other’ for reason therapy stopped.
