Outcomes of people with TB reported to the WHO Global Clinical Platform of COVID-19
Current or past TB were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality regardless of illness severity at admission. Caveats for interpretation include changes during the data collection period (viral variation, vaccination coverage) and opportunistic sampling. However, the platform exemplifies how timely, coordinated global reporting can inform our understanding of health emergencies and the vulnerable populations affected.
