For the 5661 patients from SPCH, we observed that the proportion of drug-susceptible TB increased from 77.1% in 2007 to 83.4% in 2014, increasing at yearly rate of 0.6% ( R 2 = 0.401; Chi-square test for trends: χ 2 = 6.178, P = 0.013); MDR-TB declined at a yearly rate of −0.3%, but the differences did not reach statistical significance (χ 2 = 3.521, P = 0.061).
