Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify risk factors linked to tuberculosis (TB)-specific and non-TB-specific death among TB patients in the U.S. from 2009 to 2013.
  • Researchers analyzed data from the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System using multinomial logistic regression to find which risk factors influenced mortality rates.
  • Results indicated that factors like multidrug-resistant TB, end-stage renal disease, and advanced age significantly increased the risk of TB-specific mortality, with similar factors also influencing non-TB-specific mortality, highlighting the need for targeted monitoring and resource allocation in vulnerable populations.
