ANALYSIS OF TUBERCULOSIS AND HIV INFECTION MORTALITY IN THE REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION WITH THE MATRIX USE
Abstract
The use of the matrix to analyze mortality from tuberculosis and HIV-infection allows uniting the RF regions into homogeneous groups depending on the mortality level due to both infections. The matrix analysis has proved that only in 23 regions of Russia with low mortality level from both infections the risk of increase in HIV mortality due to the increase of lethal outcomes among tuberculosis patients with concurrent HIV infection is minimal while in the remaining 57 Russian regions it remains high.
