    Abstract Objectives: Multidrug-resistant/Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is a major obstacle to successful TB control. The recommendation by the World Health Organization to use bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid and moxifloxacin (BPaL(M)) for 6 months, based on results of three trials with high efficacy and low toxicity, has revolutionized treatment options.
    Methods: In this study, representatives of the Tuberculosis Network European Trialsgroup (TBnet) in 44/54 countries of the WHO Europe region document the availability of the medicines and drug susceptibility testing (DST) of the BPaL(M) regimen through a structured questionnaire between September to November 2023.
    Results: 24/44 (54.5%), 42/44 (95.5%), 43/44 (97.7%), and 43/44 (97.7%) had access to pretomanid, bedaquiline, linezolid, and moxifloxacin, respectively. Overall, 23/44 (52.3%) had access to all the drugs composing the BPaL(M) regimen. 7/44 (15.9%), 28/44 (63.6%), 34/44 (77.3%) and 36/44 (81.8%) had access to DST for pretomanid, bedaquiline, linezolid and moxifloxacin, respectively. DST was available for all medicines composing the BPaL(M) regimen in 6/44 (13.6%) countries.
    Conclusion: Only in about half of the countries participating in the survey clinicians have access to all the BPaL(M) regimen drugs. In less than a fifth of countries, a complete DST is possible. Rapid scale up of DST capacity to prevent unnoticed spread of drug resistance and equal access to new regimens are urgently needed in Europe.

    Abstract Background: The growing burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) is posing a threat to global tuberculosis (TB) control. DM triples the risk of developing TB, modifies the presenting features of pulmonary TB, and worsens TB treatment outcomes. We aimed to analyze the prevalence of DM among TB patients and to describe the characteristics and clinical presentation of TB-DM patients in Europe.
    Methods: We performed a cross-sectional survey on the prevalence of DM among consecutively diagnosed adult TB patients in 11 European TB referral centers located in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, and the United Kingdom over the period 2007-2015. We also selected DM-TB cases and TB only controls with a 1:3 ratio to perform a case-control analysis, including patients selected from the countries mentioned above plus Norway and Ukraine.
    Results: Among 3143 TB enrolled patients, DM prevalence overall was 10.7% and ranged from 4.4% in Greece to 28.5% in the United Kingdom. Patients' median ages ranged from 36 to 49 years, and all centers had >60% males; the proportion of foreign-born patients varied widely across sites. In the case-control study, DM was independently associated with older age and, among older patients, with being foreign-born. Among patients with pulmonary involvement, cavities on chest imaging were more frequently observed among those with DM.
    Conclusions: Diabetes mellitus represents a challenge for TB control in Europe, especially in foreign-born and in elderly patients. Specific screening strategies should be evaluated.

    Abstract Background: Longitudinal cohort data of patients with tuberculosis (TB) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are lacking. In our global study, we describe long-term outcomes of patients affected by TB and COVID-19.
    Methods: We collected data from 174 centres in 31 countries on all patients affected by COVID-19 and TB between 1 March 2020 and 30 September 2022. Patients were followed-up until cure, death or end of cohort time. All patients had TB and COVID-19; for analysis purposes, deaths were attributed to TB, COVID-19 or both. Survival analysis was performed using Cox proportional risk-regression models, and the log-rank test was used to compare survival and mortality attributed to TB, COVID-19 or both.
    Results: Overall, 788 patients with COVID-19 and TB (active or sequelae) were recruited from 31 countries, and 10.8% (n=85) died during the observation period. Survival was significantly lower among patients whose death was attributed to TB and COVID-19
    Conclusions: In our global cohort, death was the outcome in >10% of patients with TB and COVID-19. A range of demographic and clinical predictors are associated with adverse outcomes.
