Smear-conversion rate and initial proportion smear-positive in symptomatic bacteriologically-positive TB disease. A joint posterior probability densities of initial proportion smear-positive (y-axis) and hazard of converting from smear-negative to smear-positive (x-axis) in symptomatic bacteriologically-positive TB by country, based on Model 3. B the correlation of percentage smear-positive at symptom onset and smear-type conversion rate. X-axis indicates the slopes of A estimated by linear regression (KHM = Cambodia, ETH = Ethiopia, KEN = Kenya, LAO = Lao People’s Democratic Republic, MWI = Malawi, PAK = Pakistan, PHL = Philippines, TZA = United Republic of Tanzania, UGA = Uganda, VNM = Viet Nam, ZMB = Zambia) (C) joint probability density of initial proportion smear-positive (y-axis) and hazard of converting from smear-negative to smear-positive (x-axis) pooled by weights of notified cases in 2019 (excluding Malawi and Vietnam as outliers)
