| Description of data capture | Individuals age 3 months to 75 years were recruited in house-to-house surveys in 1986-89 in Karonga District, northern Malawi. Those with a BCG scar were randomised to receive repeat BCG or placebo. Active follow-up was carried out in northern areas of the district in 1991-94 and in a southern area in 2002-2018 covering 15.8% (7389 individuals) and 12.0% (5616 individuals) of the trial population respectively. Year of death or leaving the area were recorded for those not found. The original trial is described in detail in: [1] Karonga Prevention Trial Group.
