Abstract

Objectives: We compared mortality among tuberculosis (TB) survivors and a similar population. Methods: We used local health authority records from 3 USsites toidentify 3853 persons who completed adequate treatment of TB and 7282 individuals diagnosed with latent TB infection 1993 to 2002. We then retrospectively observed mortality after 6 to 16 years of observation. We ascertained vital status as of December 31, 2008, using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Death Index. We analyzed mortality rates, hazards, and associations using Cox regression. Results: We traced 11135 individuals over 119 772 person-years of observation. We found more all-cause deaths (20.7% vs 3.1%) among posttreatment TB patients than among the comparison group, an adjusted average excess of 7.6 deaths per 1000 person-years (8.8 vs 1.2; P
