Evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis disease burden in Shenyang, China, 2023
The PTB DALYs rate in Shenyang was 58.25/10<sup>5</sup>, which was lower than that in China, equivalent to 80% of the national PTB disease burden rate. The disease burden showed a characteristic of increasing with age, and the PTB DALYs rate for males was higher than that for females, being equivalent to 4 times the female rate. The predominant disease burden of PTB was attributed to YLLs, accounting for as much as 71.38%, indicating that PTB primarily results in premature mortality rather than disability. Therefore, the focus should be shifted towards early intervention to reduce transmission, especially for the aged males.
