- Abstract: Objective: To characterise tuberculosis deaths in a region of northeast Brazil during the period from 2006 to 2017 and to identify determinants associated with areas with higher tuberculosis mortality rates. Methods: Ecological descriptive study of deaths from tuberculosis with multivariate mapping and logistic regression, carried out from 2006 to 2017 in the 75 municipalities of Sergipe, Brazil. The focus of the analysis was the mean mortality rate from tuberculosis, dichotomised according to the median. The independent variables were selected based on the conceptual model of the social determinants of health. Results: Mortality due to tuberculosis in Sergipe, Brazil, was most prevalent among males, mixed‐race people, and people over 40 years old and with a low level of education. Multivariate logistic regression identified the mean incidence rate for tuberculosis (aOR: 1.06), the proportion of HIV testing (aOR: 7.10), people without primary education and with informal occupation (aOR: 1.26) and people living in urban households without waste collection service (aOR: 0.10) as determinants associated to municipalities with higher tuberculosis mortality rates, with area under the ROC curve of 84% ( P ‐value 0.000). Mapping revealed evident spatial variability. Conclusions: The tuberculosis epidemic in Brazil is determined by access to health services, especially the provision of HIV testing among those diagnosed with tuberculosis, accelerated urbanisation with largeAbstract: Objective: To characterise tuberculosis deaths in a region of northeast Brazil during the period from 2006 to 2017 and to identify determinants associated with areas with higher tuberculosis mortality rates.

Abstract : Objectif: Caractériser les décès dus à la tuberculose dans une région du nord‐est du Brésil au cours de la période de 2006 à 2017 et identifier les déterminants associés aux zones où les taux de mortalité par tuberculose sont plus élevés. Méthodes: Etude descriptive écologique des décès par tuberculose avec une cartographie multivariée et une régression logistique, réalisée de 2006 à 2017 dans les 75 municipalités de Sergipe, au Brésil. L'analyse était axée sur le taux moyen de mortalité par tuberculose, dichotomisé selon la médiane. Les variables indépendantes ont été sélectionnées sur la base du modèle conceptuel des déterminants sociaux de la santé. Résultats: La mortalité due à la tuberculose à Sergipe, au Brésil, était plus fréquente chez les hommes, les personnes métissées, les personnes de plus de 40 ans et avec un faible niveau d'éducation. La régression logistique multivariée a identifié le taux moyen d'incidence de la tuberculose (aOR: 1, 06), la proportion des tests de dépistage du VIH (aOR: 7, 10), les personnes sans éducation primaire et occupant une fonction informelle (aOR: 1, 26) et les personnes vivant dans des ménages en milieu urbain sans service de collecte des déchets (aOR: 0, 10) comme étant des déterminants associés aux municipalités avec des taux de mortalité par tuberculose plus élevés, avec une aire sous la courbe ROC de 84 % ( p =0, 000). La cartographie a révélé une variabilité spatiale évidente. Conclusions: L'épidémie de tuberculose au Brésil est déterminée par l'accès aux services de santé, en particulier la fourniture des tests de dépistage du VIH chez les personnes diagnostiquées avec la tuberculose, l'urbanisation accélérée avec de grandes poches de pauvreté et les conditions de logement insalubres, corroborant les tendances mondiales. … (more)
