\subsection{Newly reported data}  There are some relatively small changes to estimates of TB incidence, mortality and prevalence for many countries that reflect new VR data reported to WHO between mid-2014 and mid-2015, updated WHO estimates of the total number of deaths from all causes (that provide overall mortality envelopes), updates to estimates of the burden of HIV-associated TB and new TB notification data including corrections made to historical data and updates to population sizes from the United Nations Population Division. In most instances, changes are well within the uncertainty intervals of previously published estimates of TB burden and time trends are generally consistent. Newly-reported data are the reason for small changes to estimates of the number of TB deaths among women and children and to the number of incident MDR-TB cases. In Indonesia, estimates of TB mortality (HIV-negative) are for the first time obtained from the sample vital registration system, after adjustment for incomplete coverage and ill-defined causes of death.  In South Africa, estimates of TB mortality (HIV-negative) were derived from the national vital registration system after adjustment for widespread miscoding of HIV and TB causes of deaths\cite{25059949} as the interpretation of death statistics in South Africa cannot be made on face value as a large proportion of deaths caused by HIV infection are misclassified\cite{15668545}.  \subsection{Updated methods for estimating TB burden}
