Association between diabetes mellitus and multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has emerged as a challenge to global tuberculosis (TB) control
and remains a major public health concern in many countries. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an increasingly recognized
comorbidity that can both accelerate TB disease and complicate its treatment. The aim of this study is to summarize
available evidence on the association of DM and MDR-TB among TB patients and to provide a pooled estimate of risks.
