Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Global Health, for cohort and case-control studies that reported risk factors for in-hospital mortality in PTB. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to establish predictors of in-hospital mortality among patients with pulmonary TB. Eligible trials met the following criteria 1 : cohort or case-control design 2 ; explored risk factors for in-hospital mortality among patients with pulmonary TB in an adjusted analysis. This systematic review and meta-analysis is expected to serve as a basis for evidence to reduce in-hospital mortality in TB patients, and as a guide for future research based on identified knowledge gaps.
