Abstract:
Introduction:
The WHO strategy "The End TB" precedes a 95% decrease in mortality in 2035
compared to 2015.
Purpose:
Comparative study of tuberculosis mortality in Chisinau
municipality in two time periods: 2001 - 2003 and 2016 - 2018.
Material and methods:
861 cases of tuberculosis deaths were studied: period I - 621 (72.1%), period II - 240
(27.9%) cases.
Results:
The new cases due to the progression of tuberculosis died in the first period - 301
(64.9%), in the second period - 80 (53.3%). The retreatment cases 163 (35.1%) died in
the first period, in the second period - 70 (46.7%).
The postmortem diagnosis was established in 99 (32.9%) in period I and in 16 (20.0%)
patients in period II. The male / female correlation in the first period was 4.4: 1, and in
the second period - 3.3: 1. Obviously, the rate of TB / HIV deaths increases from 3.8%
in period I to 19.7% in period II. The number of patients who died in somatic hospitals
increased from 5.8% in period I to 10.4% in period II.
Conclusions:
the number of patients who died in period II decreased
in three times, due to the decrease in new TB cases
deaths and those with a postmortem diagnosis show an
increase in the number of deaths of patients with
retreatment and associated diseases.
