Article Synopsis
- This global study investigates the long-term outcomes of patients with tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19, highlighting a lack of prior longitudinal data on this combined condition.
- Data was collected from 788 patients across 31 countries from March 2020 to September 2022, showing a mortality rate of 10.8% during the study period.
- Key factors influencing mortality included older age, HIV infection, and the need for invasive ventilation, with patients suffering from both diseases experiencing significantly lower survival rates compared to those with only one of the diseases.
This study aims to evaluate, via a mixed methods study, the implementation of the screening process for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) within indigenous population of the Department of Cauca, Colombia, during the 2016-2018 period. Indicators assessing the PTB screening process were elaborated and estimated. Subsequently, an evaluation of the indicators were performed based on a sampling process from health care providers of the municipalities with the highest and lowest PTB incidence and from key agents' perspective.
