Trends in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Mortality: A Population-Based Study in a Northern Vietnamese Province, 2005–2008 and 2011–2018
> 0.05). Despite these improvements, persistently higher mortality among men and older adults highlights ongoing inequities in TB outcomes within the province. These pre-pandemic findings provide an essential epidemiological baseline for assessing COVID-19's impact on TB control and underscore the need for age- and gender-targeted interventions at sub-national levels to accelerate Vietnam's progress toward TB elimination.
