Tuberculosis is a major problem of public health. Study the mortality dynamics is an important epidemiologic tool, capable of clarify the disease behavior on population. The objective was the evaluation of the survival of tuberculosis patients, attended and diagnosed in BCU in programme area in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro.A cohort study with 2148 patients diagnosed between 2009 and 2012, attended in BCU in a programme area in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. It was used the Kaplan Meier method for an evaluation of the survival curves and the Log-Rank, applying the chi-square test to check the statistical summary between the variables. It was used R 3.2.0®.From the total of diagnostics, there were 213 deaths, which 69,95% were men. On evaluating the time until death between men and women, it could be seen that 50,00% of women died in up to 218 days, approximately 7,1 months after the diagnosis, whereas 50,00% of men died in up to 389 days, approximately 13 months after the diagnosis. On evaluating the deaths according to age group, it could be seen that 50,23% of the cases were aged between 35-59 years, 26,29% were aged 60 years or more and 23,00% were aged between 16-34 years. Among the 213 patients that died, 28,63% had tuberculosis as basic cause of death, 20,18% had the HIV and 48,35% had other causes. Thus, it could be observed that almost 10% of patients had died, being the women the ones that presented a lower survival.
