Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem, with approximately 10 million new cases reported annually. Knowledge about the quantitative evolution of theses and dissertations (T&Ds) examining human TB in Brazil can contribute to generating strategic planning for training professionals in this field and disease control. Therefore, this study highlights the role of T&Ds on TB in national scientific disclosures.
An integrative review related to TB was performed, including T&Ds produced in Brazil and completed between 2013 and 2019.
A total of 559,457 T&Ds were produced, of which 1,342 were associated with TB, accounting for 0.24% of the total number of T&Ds in Brazil. This was evidenced by a predominance of themes such as attention/health care, epidemiology, and TB treatment, and 80.2% of the T&Ds on TB were related to the large areas of health and biological sciences. Only 19.7% of T&Ds were associated with groups of patients considered at risk for TB, and 50.9% were produced in southeastern Brazil. The 1,342 T&Ds on TB were developed in 416 postgraduate programs linked to 121 higher education institutions (HEIs). We highlight that 72.7% of T&Ds on TB were produced in federal HEIs, 27.4% in state HEIs, and 8.5% in private HEIs.
Strategic themes, such as TB control, require public policies that aim to increase the number of doctors and masters with expertise in TB, with geographic uniformity, and in line with the priorities for disease control.
结核病（TB）仍然是一个严重的公共卫生问题，每年报告的新发病例约为 1000 万例。了解巴西有关人类结核病的论文和学位论文（T&Ds）的定量演变情况，可以为该领域专业人员的培训和疾病控制提供战略规划。因此，本研究强调了 T&Ds 在巴西国家科学披露中对结核病的作用。
对结核病相关的综合评价进行了研究，包括巴西在 2013 年至 2019 年期间完成的 T&Ds。
共产生了 559457 篇 T&Ds，其中与结核病相关的有 1342 篇，占巴西 T&Ds 总数的 0.24%。这一点可以通过主题的主导地位来证明，如关注/保健、流行病学和结核病治疗，而与结核病相关的 T&Ds 中有 80.2%与卫生和生物科学等大领域有关。只有 19.7%的 T&Ds 与被认为有结核病风险的患者群体有关，而 50.9%的 T&Ds 是在巴西东南部地区产生的。这 1342 篇与结核病相关的 T&Ds 是在与 121 所高等教育机构（HEIs）相关的 416 个研究生课程中开发的。我们强调，72.7%的结核病 T&Ds 是在联邦高等教育机构中产生的，27.4%是在州立高等教育机构中产生的，8.5%是在私立高等教育机构中产生的。
战略主题，如结核病控制，需要公共政策，旨在增加在结核病方面具有专业知识的医生和硕士的数量，实现地理上的统一，并与疾病控制的优先事项保持一致。
