    Abstract:
    Many factors influence the risk of death in patients with tuberculosis. The most significant factors are a clinical form of the disease, combinations, comorbidity, age, and the duration of death. The risk of death averaged 4.2% in patients with new-onset tuberculosis, 30.4% in those with recurrent tuberculosis, and 6.4% in the registered. In patients with new-onset tuberculosis, the highest risk of death was established in tuberculous meningitis, miliary tuberculosis, fibrocavernous tuberculosis, and complications of tuberculosis (such as hemorrhage, spontaneous pneumothorax) increased the risk of death by almost 10 times (40.2%) and progression of HIV infection to AIDS by 7 times. The risk of death was increased up to 9.2% in primary multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis and by 12.7% in acquired one.
