Social and clinical characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis patients who died in the first year of follow-up

Abstract

In the mid-1970s, there was an increase in the number of newly diagnosed patients with tuberculosis, who were admitted to the hospital in a very serious condition and often died within a short time after admission. We counted the number of deaths in Kazan city in the first year of follow-up from 1969 to 1992 for 24 years, dividing them into 3-year periods. In 1969-1971 there were 0.55% of those who died in the first year of observation to the total number of first-time pulmonary tuberculosis patients, in 1972-1974 - 0.98%, in 1975-1977 -1.6%, in 1978-1980 - 1.7%, in 1981-1983 - 0.27%, in 1984-1986 - 0.57%, in 1987-1989 - 0.7%, in 1990-1992 - 1.3%.
