where $I$ represents incident TB cases among people living with HIV, $N$ represents HIV-positive cases that are notified, $(I-N)$ represents HIV-positive TB cases that are not notified and $M$ represents TB mortality among HIV-positive people. $F_t$ and $F_u$ are the case fatality ratios for treated and non-treated incident cases, respectively. The case fatality ratios were obtained in collaboration with the TB Modeling and Analysis Consortium (TB-MAC), and are shown in Table \ref{tab:hivcfr}.  \begin{table}  \label{tab:hivcfr}  \begin{tabular}{ c c c c }  \hline  ART & TB treatment & CFR & Sources \\  

\hline  \end{tabular}   \caption{Distribution of CFR in HIV-positive individuals}  \label{tab:hivcfr}  \end{table}  The disaggregation of incident TB into treated and not treated cases is based on the ratio of the point estimates for incident and notified cases, adjusted for under-reporting. A single CFR was used for all bootstrapped mortality estimates.
