CHRISTOPHER-ANDREW BASHAM published this work as part of a team: Basham, Christopher Andrew. Here is a description of this work: BACKGROUND: Improvements in and expansion of tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment have yielded a growing population of TB survivors, with an estimated 155 million alive in 2020. While TB is preventable and curable, there is accumulating evidence of elevated chronic disease risk among survivors. Research objectives: (1) estimate the relative risk of non-TB mortality among TB survivors compared with controls, (2) systematically review the literature on cardiovascular disease (CVD) in TB and latent TB infection, (3) estimate the relative risk of airway disease among respiratory TB survivors compared with controls, and (4) estimate the relative risk of depression among TB survivors compared with controls, mediated by hospital length of stay (LOS). METHODS: A cohort of immigrants to British Columbia, Canada, 1985-2015, with linked health administrative and TB registry data was used for.
