Why it matters
The value is judged against the median of the same period in up to five earlier years, using a robust measure of spread. A breach means this period sits well outside what those years would lead you to expect.
For MCV1 doses per 100 BCG doses, higher is better. This movement is therefore assessed as an improvement.
Historical context
