In 2023, global HIV-related tuberculosis produced 781,000 incident cases and 210,000 deaths, yielding 11·0 million DALYs, highlighting a persistent HIV-linked TB burden worldwide.
- Why it matters: TB control progress is threatened by funding volatility, and HIV-related TB remains a major contributor to deaths and disability, requiring up-to-date burden estimates to guide targeted responses.
- What they did: Using GBD 2023 data for 204 countries and territories, TB incidence, prevalence, and mortality were jointly modeled by age and sex, with a population attributable fraction approach stratifying estimates by HIV status.
- The result: HIV-related TB contributed 11·0 million DALYs in 2023, implying that maintaining HIV-focused TB prevention and care is essential to sustain progress toward End TB targets.
