南非（SA）致力于根据世界卫生组织的终结结核病战略和可持续发展目标（SDG）目标降低结核病死亡率。根据南非统计局发布的死亡率报告，这项研究分析了2006年至2016年南非报告的结核病死亡率，以帮助我们了解结核病死亡率和制定实现可持续发展目标所需的战略。结核病死亡率包括根据《国际疾病和相关健康问题统计分类》（ICD-10）第10次修订版定义，向内政部报告的结核病为根本死因的所有死亡。虽然结核病仍然是死亡的主要原因，但在过去十年中，南非的结核病死亡率大幅下降。从2006年到2016年，结核病导致的死亡人数从76881人骤降至29399人，结核病导致的全因死亡率比例从13%下降了一半以上，
South Africa (SA) is committed to reducing tuberculosis (TB) mortality rates in line with the World Health Organization's End TB Strategy and the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets. From mortality reports released by Statistics South Africa, this study analysed reported TB mortality in SA from 2006 to 2016 to inform our understanding of TB mortality and the development of strategies needed to attain the SDG targets. TB mortality includes all deaths reported to the Department of Home Affairs with TB reported as the underlying cause of death based on the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) definition. Although TB remains the leading cause of death, TB mortality rates in SA have fallen substantially in the past decade. From 2006 to 2016, the number of deaths due to TB plummeted from 76 881 to 29 399 and the proportion of all-cause mortality due to TB more than halved from 13% to
