Tuberculosis (TB) was a public health problem in the past and remained a threat worldwide, including in Taiwan. We aimed to estimate annual percentage changes (APC) in TB mortality and the age-period-cohort effects on TB mortality. Taiwan TB mortality data from 1978 to 2022 was used to estimate the APC through the Joinpoint regression analysis and age-period-cohort models. Crude and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) reduced from 23.46 to 3.02 and 41.70 to 1.59 per 100,000 population in males, while 8.84 to 1.09 and 14.58 to 0.45, respectively, in females. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the crude rates still significantly declined in males from 2020 to 2022 but not in females. APC in ASMR significantly decreased in males and females (-7.17% and -7.64%), while after adjusted age-period-cohort effects, the estimated APC were -8.83% and -9.77%. Age-period-cohort effects were observed, with the highest peaks in the youngest (aged 0-4) and the period 1978-1982 in both sexes and peaks in the male cohort 1898-1902 and female cohort 1903- 1907. TB mortality in Taiwan has declined in all ages, sexes, periods, and cohorts. However, the COVID-19 pandemic stopped TB mortality from decreasing.
结核病(TB)过去是一个公共卫生问题,在全球范围内仍然是一个威胁,包括在台湾。我们旨在估计结核病死亡率的年百分比变化(APC)以及年龄-时期-队列效应对结核病死亡率的影响。我们使用了 1978 年至 2022 年台湾的结核病死亡率数据,通过 Joinpoint 回归分析和年龄-时期-队列模型来估计 APC。男性的粗死亡率和年龄标准化死亡率(ASMR)从 23.46 降至 3.02 和从 41.70 降至 1.59/100,000 人口,而女性则从 8.84 降至 1.09 和从 14.58 降至 0.45/100,000 人口。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,男性的粗死亡率在 2020 年至 2022 年仍显著下降,但女性没有。男性和女性的 ASMR 的 APC 均显著下降(-7.17%和-7.64%),而在调整年龄-时期-队列效应后,估计的 APC 分别为-8.83%和-9.77%。观察到了年龄-时期-队列效应,在两性中,最年轻(0-4 岁)和时期 1978-1982 都出现了高峰,而男性队列 1898-1902 和女性队列 1903-1907 则出现了高峰。台湾的结核病死亡率在所有年龄、性别、时期和队列中都有所下降。然而,COVID-19 大流行阻止了结核病死亡率的下降。
