They concluded that TB patients with DM had a greater risk of death during anti-tuberculosis treatment than those without DM. The authors should be congratulated for highlighting this very important topic and for their efforts to collect and analyse such a large amount of data while trying to correct for important covariables. Although we agree with most of their conclusions, we would like to draw your readers’ attention to one point of issue.
