Dem. People's Rep. Korea - Tuberculosis case detection rate (%, all forms)
Tuberculosis case detection rate (%, all forms) in Dem. People's Rep. Korea was 66.00 as of 2020. Its highest value over the past 20 years was 87.00 in 2016, while its lowest value was 25.00 in 2001.
Definition: Tuberculosis case detection rate (all forms) is the number of new and relapse tuberculosis cases notified to WHO in a given year, divided by WHO's estimate of the number of incident tuberculosis cases for the same year, expressed as a percentage. Estimates for all years are recalculated as new information becomes available and techniques are refined, so they may differ from those published previously.

Statistical Concept and Methodology: Tuberculosis is one of the main causes of adult deaths from a single infectious agent in developing countries. This indicator shows the tuberculosis detection rate for all detection methods. Editions before 2010 included the tuberculosis detection rates by DOTS, the internationally recommended strategy for tuberculosis control. Thus data on the case detection rate from 2010 onward cannot be compared with data in previous editions.
