Tuberculosis Cohort Avicenne Hospital

Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Summary

Tuberculosis represents the second highest death rate from an infectious disease in the world, just after COVID-19. The most affected department of France is Seine-Saint-Denis. Since 2005, this department with difficult socio-economic conditions has the highest incidence rate in metropolitan France, higher than that of Paris. In 2012, the reporting rate was 10 times higher among people born abroad compared to those born in France, with the highest rates found among people born in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. It is proposed to constitute for the first time in France a cohort of patients with tuberculosis disease to better understand the characteristics of patients with unfavorable treatment outcomes and ultimately, to propose solutions to obtain better control of tuberculosis. This study would recruit all patients with tuberculosis disease for at least 4 years associated with 1 year of follow-up for a total duration of the study of at least 5 years.
