Yearly data from 2001 to 2024, from the World Bank.

| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 71% | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 53% | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 43% | 2014 |
| Highest | 71% | 2024 |
| Lowest | 9.8% | 2001 |
| Average since 2015 | 54.8% | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 9.8% | 2001 |
Over five years it is up 18 percentage points from 53% in 2019. Since 2001 it is up 61.2 percentage points from 9.8% in 2001. The World Bank has no value for 1 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2024, Central African Republic's tuberculosis case detection rate (%, all forms) rose 4 percentage points on 2023 (from 67% to 71%).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2002 to 2023), the average change was +2.71 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 5.11 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 11 percentage points in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 7 percentage points in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 3.26 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about 77.79% for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 3.63%, against 9.67% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

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.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
