The paper stresses the fact that a decrease by approximately 50% was obtained, of the severity index due to tuberculosis, and by 63,6% of the incidence of invalidity through tuberculosis as a result of decreased morbidity and of the application of more efficient therapies over a shorter period of time. The prevalence of invalidity through tuberculosis recorded but a slight decrease since those subjects who had sequellae involving irrecoverable cardiorespiratory insufficiency were maintained in this category.
该论文强调了这样一个事实，即由于发病率降低以及在较短时间内采用了更有效的治疗方法，结核病严重程度指数下降了约50%，因结核病导致的残疾发生率下降了63.6%。因结核病导致的残疾患病率仅略有下降，因为那些有涉及不可恢复的心肺功能不全后遗症的患者仍归为这一类别。
