TB treatment status at time of death among 99 adults (age: ≥18 years) enrolled in two pooled prospective cohorts in Pune and Chennai, India, between December 2013 and November 2018. Previously published algorithm to classify TB-related deaths, including possible, probable, and bacteriologically confirmed. Mutually exclusive treatment status categories used: intensive phase = treatment ongoing and treatment initiated <2 months prior to death (n = 16); continuation phase = treatment ongoing and treatment initiated 2–6 months prior to death (n = 14); treatment failure = positive on smear or culture during the final 2 months of treatment (n = 35); defaulted = treatment prematurely discontinued (n = 12); confirmed TB recurrence = positive on smear or culture after completing treatment (n = 4); probable TB recurrence=clinical evidence of TB after completing treatment (n = 6).
