The primary analysis estimated the risk ratios of death and recovery comparing COVID-19 patients with and without TB. Our findings reiterate the need to prioritize routine and testing services for tuberculosis, even with increased disruptions to health systems during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Most research on the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen have been conducted in highincome countries, and studies suggest worse outcomes among COVID-19 patients with other respiratory diseases in these countries, such as COPD (11, 12) and asthma (13) . . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.22.20154575 doi: medRxiv preprint created a propensity score matched subsample of only admitted COVID-19 patients, and conducted the same analysis. ./cache/cord-318871-ffyavhm0.txt ./txt/cord-318871-ffyavhm0.txt
