The rates were highest among Inuit (135.1 per 100,000), First Nations (16.1 per 100,000) and people born outside of Canada (12.3 per 100,000). [196] In the United States, Native Americans have a fivefold greater mortality from TB, [197] and racial and ethnic minorities accounted for 88% of all reported TB cases. [198]
Crude mortality rate refers to the number of deaths over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period.

Treatment success rate was highest in the World Health Organization Mediterranean region at 65%. Treatment success rates were lower than 50% in Ukraine, Mozambique, Indonesia and India. Areas with poor TB surveillance infrastructure had higher rates of loss to follow-up of treatment. [68]
Drug-induced hepatitis, from TB treatment, has a mortality rate of around 5%. [53] Three drugs can induce hepatitis: PZA, INH, and RMP (in decreasing order of frequency). [54] It is not possible to distinguish between these three causes based purely on signs and symptoms. Test dosing must be carried out to determine which drug is responsible ...
