The sentences
MDR/RR-TB surveillance showed a trend towards a path of improvement over the three year period that the data were collected.
Treatment failures were less likely to have surveillance compared to relapses (aRR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.08–0.95), and there was an increasing trend in the likelihood for surveillance between 2015 and 2018 (aRR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.39–2.25).
