We conducted a matched retrospective cohort study comparing mortality among individuals receiving a false-positive tuberculosis diagnosis (n=3701) to individuals correctly diagnosed with TB (n=8595) in Brazil from 2007-2016. Over an average 5.4-year follow-up period, we estimated a mortality rate ratio of 1.95 (95% confidence interval: 1.80, 2.11) for individuals incorrectly diagnosed with TB compared to controls. The leading causes of death among the misdiagnosed were malignant neoplasms (40.9%) and respiratory system disorders (15.9%), conditions with symptoms similar to tuberculosis. Our findings highlight the need for improved follow-up care after identification of false-positive cases to increase survival for this high-risk population.

误诊结核病个体的高死亡率:巴西结核病个体的匹配回顾性队列研究



我们进行了一项匹配的回顾性队列研究,比较了 2007-2016 年巴西接受假阳性结核病诊断的个体 (n=3701) 与正确诊断为结核病的个体 (n=8595) 的死亡率。在平均 5.4 年的随访期内,我们估计与对照组相比,被错误诊断为 TB 的个体的死亡率比为 1.95 (95% 置信区间: 1.80, 2.11)。误诊患者的主要死因是恶性肿瘤 (40.9%) 和呼吸系统疾病 (15.9%),这些疾病的症状类似于肺结核。我们的研究结果强调,在识别假阳性病例后需要改进随访护理,以提高这一高危人群的生存率。
