Abstract
The reliability of a statistical mortality rate due to pulmonary tuberculosis was analyzed in 10 Russian Federation's subjects having the least rates. It was shown that its reliability might be objectively assessed by a method for complex analysis of the rates reflecting the population coverage of prophylactic examinations, the proportion of tuberculosis patients identified at their visits to health care facilities, and the pattern of patients with new-onset pulmonary tuberculosis. The reliability of this rate is mainly influ-enced by the prophylactic examination coverage of the population at increased risk for tuberculosis. Underidentification of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis leads to a discrepancy in the actual and statistical deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis with its underestimated values.
