Space-time clustering and temporal trend analysis of pulmonary tuberculosis in Brazil, 2010–2023
The study identified persistent and expanding patterns of PTB in Brazil at both regional and national levels, revealing specific areas with higher burden and increasing trends that should be prioritized. These findings provide evidence to support decision-making at federal level while reinforce the need for regionally tailored surveillance and control strategies to ensure a more effective and equitable response to tuberculosis across the country.
