Geographic inequalities and factors associated with unfavorable outcomes in diabetes-tuberculosis and diabetes-covid comorbidities in Brazil.

ABSTRACT: The rapid spread of COVID-19 have overwhelmed health systems, especially in the care of chronic disease such as tuberculosis and diabetes. The objective of the study was to analyze the magnitude and relevance of tuberculosis-diabetes and diabetes-COVID-19 comorbidities in spatial risk areas and their factors associated with unfavorable outcomes in the Brazilian population between 2020 and 2022. An ecological study was carried out in Brazilian municipalities. The population was composed by cases of tuberculosis-diabetes and diabetes-COVID-19 comorbidities, registered in the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (SIVEP-GRIPE) and in DATASUS from 2020 to 2022. The Scan Statistics technique was used to identify spatial risk clusters. Binary logistic regression was then empl
