Abstract: RESUMO: Introdução: A tuberculose (TB) é um dos graves problemas da saúde pública mundial. A vigilância epidemiológica tem se mostrado uma importante ferramenta para auxiliar em ações de controle e prevenção de doenças transmissíveis, como a TB e a aids. O objetivo do presente estudo foi estimar a proporção e os fatores associados à subnotificação da tuberculose em Pernambuco, entre os casos de coinfecção TB/aids, com base nos dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação da TB e da aids.

“…This may be reflected on the real situation of TB/HIV co-infections in these cities, since the positive results for anti-HIV in TB cases (13.7%) was higher than the results in the country (9.8%) and in the world (12.0%) in the same period (10)(11) . The high incidence of TB/HIV co-infections in the region of the Brazilian south border (12)(13) is different from the results found in a study in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, which identified that being at the border was a protective factor to HIV co-infections (9) .…”

“…The results of this study show that the outcome of the treatment is worse in border regions than in others. This also took place in other studies (9,15) and can be explained by the location of the cities (16) and the difficulties in implementing the DOT in these regions, due to the transit of individuals who leave their countries and come to Brazil seeking "free" healthcare (12,16) , and later are not found to follow up on their treatment because they offered imprecise addresses or addresses from the neighboring country.…”

“…Many studies demonstrate that there tends to be higher TB incidence among people of productive age, pointing to greater effectiveness of guidelines on detection of cases in this age group. 4,17,[21][22][23] However, the greater biological vulnerability of the elderly, especially related to the presence of other diseases, increases risk of death from TB in this age group, conceals symptoms of the disease, reduces awareness of the need for early diagnosis and delays treatment, providing an opportunity for TB underreporting and notification only at post-mortem. This study found that people of Black or brown race/skin color accounted for over 60% of all TB notifications at post-mortem.…”

“…The DCCI/MS technical team performed the probabilistic linkage using Reclink III free software, 16 applying a multiple-step routine in which each step used a given blocking key. 4 Probabilistic linkage includes a stage intended to standardize files for later use. The following stage, known as the linkage stage, is comprised of two processes, record blocking and record matching, which assist with optimizing the comparison process, dividing the databases into logic blocks, as well as building scores, according to the blocking strategy used.…”
