Long Term Mortality in People Treated for Tuberculosis
Kamila Romanowski
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent
worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that, in 2017, 1.6 million
deaths were due to TB. These TB-associated mortality estimates reflect the
number of people with TB who die before starting, or during, TB treatment.
Accumulating research, however, suggests that mortality post-TB treatment
is high, but this data has not been comprehensively assessed. We conducted a
systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the post-treatment mortality
among TB survivors, and examine differences in mortality risk by demographic
and clinical characteristics.
