We aimed to identify the causes and risk factors for TB mortality at a migrant-friendly TB programme.<jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold> Routinely collected data on TB cases, treatment\n outcomes and causes of death were analysed for adult TB cases diagnosed between January 2013 and April 2017. Mortality in the 6 months post-diagnosis was calculated and risk factors were identified using multivariable Poisson regression.<jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> Of the 1344 TB cases diagnosed, 1005\n started treatment and 128 died. Case fatality rate was 9.5% and the TB mortality rate was 2.4\/100 person-months. The number of pre-treatment deaths (33\/128) and losses to follow-up (9.0%) were high. Among cases enrolled in treatment, the treatment success rate was 79.8%. When stratified by\n HIV status, case fatality was higher in HIV-positive cases not on antiretroviral therapy (ART) (90.3%) or with unknown HIV status (31.8%) than those on ART (14.3%) or HIV-negative (8.6%).<jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold> This TB programme achieved high treatment success rates in a population with a substantial\n burden of TB-HIV coinfection. Expanding access to HIV testing and ART is crucial to reduce mortality. Striving towards same-day TB diagnosis and treatment could reduce death and loss to follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5588\/ijtld.20.0014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,31]],"date-time":"2020-10-31T04:39:32Z","timestamp":1604119172000},"page":"1009-1015","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["TB outcomes and mortality risk factors in adult migrants at the Thailand-Myanmar border"],"prefix":"10.5588","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Carroll","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Global Health, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Vincenti-Delmas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Mae Sot Tak, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B.
