[Factors associated with tuberculosis mortality in Paraguay, 2015-2016Fatores associados à mortalidade por tuberculose no Paraguai, 2015-2016].

Conclusions: The highest risk of death is presented by men and people with TB/HIV coinfection and the lowest risk is presented by people deprived of liberty. There is a need to improve diagnosis and follow-up of TB cases, with effective implementation of directly observed treatment (DOTS) and timely management of associated diseases such as HIV and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
