Rates and Risk Factors for On‐Treatment Mortality Among a Cohort of Adults Treated for Drug‐Sensitive Tuberculosis: Analysis of Data From the Adherence Support Coalition to End Tuberculosis Consortium in Five Countries
Our findings suggest variability in tuberculosis mortality across settings, influenced by HIV/ART and diagnosis type. The high mortality rates across countries may reflect underlying causes or potential misdiagnoses. Further investigation into these factors may be needed to improve tuberculosis outcomes globally.
