OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of tuberculosis among incarcerated populations. METHOD: 0,20) were included in the final multivariate model. RESULTS: Based on the 29 studies included in the metanalysis, 2,163 prisoners with tuberculosis were identified. The combined prevalence of tuberculosis among prisoners was 2% (95%CI: 0.02-0.02). The prevalence among prisoners from countries with tuberculosis prevalence of 0-24 per 100,000 general population was below 1% (95%CI = 0.00-0.00). In countries with overall tuberculosis prevalence of 25-99/100,000, the estimate among prisoners was 3% (95%CI = 0.02-0.04); and in countries with overall prevalence ≥ 300/100 thousand, the estimated prevalence among prisoners was 8% (95%CI = 0.05-0.11). CONCLUSION: The present results support the notion of a high prevalence of tuberculosis among incarcerated populations worldwide. The results also show a link between the prevalence of tuberculosis in the general and the prevalence of tuberculosis in prisons
