Tuberculosis Outcomes in Indigenous Brazilian Children and Adolescents, 2006-2016

A historical case series of 2,096 reported tuberculosis cases in indigenous children and adolescents in Brazil from 2006 to 2016. The data includes clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, treatment outcomes, and factors associated with dropout and death. The study was authored by Paulo Victor de Sousa Viana and uses multinomial logistic regression to analyze the data.

Use Cases

• Modeling treatment dropout risk based on factors like HIV coinfection and retreatment status mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing mortality risk factors such as age under 4 years and extrapulmonary clinical forms described in the study.
• Estimating regional incidence rates of tuberculosis across major geographic regions in Brazil.
• Studying the association between irregular follow-up and adverse treatment outcomes like dropout and death.

Strengths

• Contains 2,096 reported cases with detailed treatment outcomes (cure, dropout, death).
• Provides specific odds ratios and confidence intervals for factors associated with dropout and death.
• Reports a mean incidence rate of 49.1/100,000 with regional breakdowns.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
