Eliminating mother-to-child HIV-transmission (EMTCT) implies a case rate target of new pediatric HIV-infections< 50/100,000 live-births and a transmission rate < 5%. We assessed these indicators at community-level in Mozambique, where MTCT is the second highest globally..
A cross-sectional household survey was conducted within the Manhiça Health Demographic Surveillance System in Mozambique (October 2017-April 2018). Live births in the previous 4 years were randomly selected, and mother/child HIV-status was ascertained through documentation or age-appropriate testing. Estimates on prevalence and transmission were adjusted by multiple imputation chained equation (MICE) for participants with missing HIV-status. Retrospective cumulative mortality rate and risk factors were estimate by Fine-Gray model.
Among 5000 selected mother-child pairs, 3486 consented participate. Community HIV-prevalence estimate in mothers after MICE adjustment was 37.6% (95%CI:35.8-39.4%). Estimates doubled in adolescents aged < 19 years (from 8.0 to 19.1%) and increased 1.5-times in mothers aged < 25 years. Overall adjusted vertical HIV-transmission at the time of the study were 4.4% (95% CI:3.1-5.7%) in HIV-exposed children (HEC). Pediatric case rate-infection was estimated at 1654/100,000 live-births. Testing coverage in HEC was close to 96.0%; however, only 69.1% of them were tested early(< 2 months of age). Cumulative child mortality rate was 41.6/1000 live-births. HIV-positive status and later birth order were significantly associated with death. Neonatal complications, HIV and pneumonia were main pediatric causes of death.
In Mozambique, SPECTRUM modeling estimated 15% MTCT, higher than our district-level community-based estimates of MTCT among HIV-exposed children. Community-based subnational assessments of progress towards EMTCT are needed to complement clinic-based and modeling estimates.
消除母婴传播(EMTCT)意味着新的儿科 HIV 感染病例率目标<50/100,000 活产,传播率<5%。我们在莫桑比克的社区层面评估了这些指标,在全球范围内,母婴传播是第二高的。
在莫桑比克马希齐健康人口监测系统中进行了一项横断面家庭调查(2017 年 10 月至 2018 年 4 月)。随机选择前 4 年的活产儿,并通过记录或适龄检测确定母婴 HIV 状况。对于 HIV 状况缺失的参与者,采用多重插补链方程(MICE)进行调整,以估计流行率和传播率。采用 Fine-Gray 模型估计回顾性累积死亡率和危险因素。
在 5000 名选定的母婴对中,有 3486 名同意参与。经 MICE 调整后,社区中母亲的 HIV 流行率估计为 37.6%(95%CI:35.8-39.4%)。年龄<19 岁的青少年中,估计值翻了一番(从 8.0%增至 19.1%),年龄<25 岁的母亲增加了 1.5 倍。在研究时,总体调整后的垂直 HIV 传播率在 HIV 暴露儿童(HEC)中为 4.4%(95%CI:3.1-5.7%)。儿科病例感染率估计为 1654/100,000 活产。HEC 的检测覆盖率接近 96.0%;然而,只有 69.1%的人在<2 个月大时进行了早期检测。累积儿童死亡率为 41.6/1000 活产。HIV 阳性状态和较晚的出生顺序与死亡显著相关。新生儿并发症、HIV 和肺炎是儿科死亡的主要原因。
在莫桑比克,SPECTRUM 模型估计的母婴传播率为 15%,高于我们基于社区的 HIV 暴露儿童母婴传播率的估计值。需要对 EMTCT 进展进行基于社区的次国家级评估,以补充诊所和模型估计。
