Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation between National Tuberculosis Surveillance System case counts and IQVIA ( https://www.iqvia.com ) projected patient counts for isoniazid (A) or pyrazinamide (B) prescriptions, United States, 2006–2019. Horizontal axes show patient counts aggregated by treatment start date, removing patients who had reported resistance to isoniazid or pyrazinamide. Vertical axes show IQVIA projected patient counts aggregated by date drug was dispensed (data are on different scales). Each point represents a month, and all data during 2006–2019 are shown. Solid black lines represent regression fit for a linear model between the 2 databases; dashed gray lines indicate 95% prediction intervals. The Pearson correlation coefficient ( r ) is shown in the lower righthand corner of each plot.

Article Snippet: We used a Pearson correlation coefficient ( r ) for the aggregated dates available in both datasets to identify the combination (IQVIA database, NTSS aggregation, and month/quarter timeframe) with the strongest correlation (highest r ), which was used in subsequent analyses.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of National Tuberculosis Surveillance System (NTSS) case counts and IQVIA projected patient counts for isoniazid or pyrazinamide prescriptions, United States, 2020. A, B) Projected patient counts for isoniazid (A) and pyrazinamide (B). Horizontal axis of each plot shows NTSS patient counts aggregated by treatment start date (month), removing patients who had reported resistance. Each point represents a month in 2020. The Pearson correlation coefficient ( r ) is shown in lower righthand corner of each plot. C, D) A linear model fit to the 2006–2019 data with quarter as a covariate to predict 2020 IQVIA projected patient counts for isoniazid (C) or pyrazinamide (D). Black line indicates actual data; gray line indicates expected IQVIA counts with 95% prediction intervals. Note vertical axes are different because of different scales for isoniazid and pyrazinamide in the IQVIA dataset. NTSS, National Tuberculosis Surveillance System.
