description RATIONALE: Excess alcohol use (EAU) is associated with adverse TB treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relationship between EAU and death among TB patients 15 years and older prescribed anti-TB treatment in the United States. DESIGN: Using data reported to the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System for 1997-2012, we calculated adjusted odds ratios and excess attributable risk percent for death among TB patients with reported EAU. RESULTS: EAU was associated with death among patients younger than 65. The excess attributable risk percent for death among those with reported EAU for those younger than 65 was >35%. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions to reduce EAU in patients <65 years may reduce deaths.
