“…Since TB is a social disease, a greater incidence of cases and deaths is expected in the poorly-qualified, low-schooling strata, which present a higher number of unemployed or neveremployed individuals. (13,14) Various comorbidities were more common in the group at greater risk of death from TB. However, due to the small number of deaths and incomplete epidemiological charts in the present study, we were only able to demonstrate that being an alcoholic was the leading comorbidity associated with an unfavorable outcome.…”

Objective: To identify factors associated with death from TB, evaluating TB cases reported for 2001 in the city of São Paulo (specifically in the neighborhoods of Cidade Tiradentes, Guaianazes, Itaquera and São Mateus) and comparing those evolving to death with those evolving to cure. Methods: We investigated all deaths in which TB was given as the principal cause (n = 48), analyzing medical charts and conducting home visits to interview the caregiver(s). In parallel, we investigated 96 TB cases in which the patient had been discharged after a cure had been achieved. Patients with HIV were excluded from both groups. Results: There were no differences between the two groups in terms of the clinical form of tuberculosis, laboratory test confirmation of the diagnosis and type of treatment. Death from TB was found to be associated, in a statistically significant manner, with being male, being over 50 years of age, having had less than 3 years of schooling, suffering from alcoholism and being unemployed. The logistic regression showed that the variables presenting the strongest associations with death from TB were suffering from alcoholism and being over 50, whereas being a new treatment and being employed were found to be protective. The combination of suffering from alcoholism, being unemployed and being over 50 increased the chance of evolving to death by 25 times (95% CI: 6.43-97.20). Conclusion: Ongoing education of health professionals, prompt epidemiological interventions and efficient patient referral systems could improve the indices related to this disease.

“…Mortality also shows the effects of the institutional component, being considered as a good indicator of the efficiency of the work to control the disease and its operation 22 . Characteristics related to the previous treatment, such as abandonment of treatment, multiresistance, and coinfection TB/HIV, have been associated with deaths in cases of TB 23 .…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: to analyze the spatial distribution of tuberculosis in Crato, Ceará, Brazil, from 2002 to 2011, aiming to check for a point pattern. Methods: This is an ecological, temporal trend and hybrid design study, with a quantitative approach. A total of 261 cases of tuberculosis were geo-referenced and 20 (7.1%) were considered as losses due to the lack of address. The profile of patients in 10 years of study was in accordance with the following pattern: men aged between 20 and 59 years, with low schooling, affected by the pulmonary form of tuberculosis and who were cured from the disease. Results: The analysis of the spatial distribution of tuberculosis points out that in the period of study, new cases of the disease were not distributed on a regular basis, indicating a clustered spatial pattern, confirmed by the L-function. The map with the density of new cases estimated by the Kernel method showed that the "hot" areas are more concentrated in the vicinity of the central urban area. Conclusion: The study allowed pointing out areas of higher and lower concentration of tuberculosis, identifying the spatial pattern, but it also recognized that the disease has not reached all of the population groups with the same intensity. Those who were most vulnerable were the ones who lived in regions with higher population densities, precarious living conditions, and with intense flow of people.

“…A tuberculose, segundo Ruffino Neto & Pereira (1981), tem seu desenvolvimento epidemiológico relacionado às condições sociais de vida, especialmente às de alimentação/nutrição e às do espaço interno de moradia (concentra ção intradomiciliar), (Vicentin, 2002). São muito distintas as condições daqueles determinantes em Porto Trombetas, entre os moradores da vila e os ribeirinhos, podendo explicar a grande disparidade das taxas médias de incidência: na população da MRN foram de 5,5 e 72,1 por 100 mil habitantes, respectivamente no primeiro e segundo períodos, quando na população ribeirinha atingiram 364,9 e 297,9 nos mesmos períodos.…”
