Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) control measures should include risk groups such as persons deprived of liberty (PDL) who have a high prevalence and a higher proportion of resistant TB cases. This study seeks to estimate the prevalence of self-reported TB in Peruvian correctional facilities (CF) and associated factors. Methods: Corresponds to a cross-sectional study based on secondary analysis of the 2016 National Penitentiary Census of the 66 CFs of Peru. Our outcome variable was defined as self-reported TB (sTB) diagnosed by a healthcare professional intrapenitentiary. We performed a bivariate analysis followed by multivariate Poisson regression to adjust the prevalence ratios (PRa). A mixed effects multilevel model was also performed. Results: 77,086 prison inmates in 66 CFs participated in the census, of which only 69,890 were included in our analysis. Of these, 1,754 PDL self-reported TB diagnosed intra-penitentiary, resulting in a sTB prevalence of 2,510/100,000 PDL. In the final model, the prevalence of self-reported tuberculosis was found to be associated with age 18 to 35 years (PRa 1.80), male sex (PRa 9.56), without education (PRa 2.60), marital status without a stable partner (PRa 1.18), previous imprisonment (PRa 1.31) and history of imprisoned relative (PRa 1.15). There was also an association with HIV / AIDS (PRa 2.82), sexually transmitted infection (PRa 2.21), Diabetes Mellitus (PRa 2.16), viral hepatitis, drug use (PRa 1.41) and alcohol consumption (PRa 1.14). The mixed model showed significant variation for belonging to different CFs (3.02; 1.30 – 7.01) and overcrowding (1.97; 0.97 – 3.98). Conclusions: Self-reported TB prevalence found tuberculosis was higher than reported by other lower-middle income countries. Self-reported TB prevalence found was higher than reported by other lower/lower-middle income countries. Demographic factors, individual clinical features, and overcrowding increase the likelihood of self-reported TB.
