The impact of the "Treat all" policy on the individual and in terms of public health is closely related to early diagnosis and retention in care. Patient-level data are scarce in Madagascar. In this study, we aimed to describe the profile of a cohort of newly diagnosed people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), identify their outcomes, and assess factors associated with attrition from care and advanced HIV disease (AHD) at presentation.
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of PLHIV aged ≥15 years newly diagnosed at the University Hospital Joseph Raseta Befelatanana Antananarivo from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2016.
A total of 490 PLHIV were included in the cohort analysis. In total, 67.1% were male. The median age (interquartile range) at enrollment in care was 29 years (24-38). Overall, 36.1% of PLHIV were diagnosed with AHD at baseline. The proportion of patients with WHO stage IV at baseline increased significantly from 3.3% in 2010 to 31% in 2016 ( = 0.001 for trend). The probability of retention in care after the diagnosis at 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months was 71.8%, 65.5%, and 61.3%, respectively. Age ≥ 40 years (aHR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.05-2.29; = 0.026), low level of education (aHR:1.62; 95% CI: 1.11-2.36; = 0,013), unspecified level of education (aHR:2.18; 95% CI: 1.37-3.47; = 0.001) and unemployment (aHR:1.52; 95% CI: 1.07-2.16; = 0.019) were independently associated with attrition from care. Factors associated with AHD at baseline were age ≥ 40 (aOR: 2.77; 95% CI: 1.38-5.57, = 0.004), unspecified level of education (aOR: 3.80; 95% CI: 1.58-9.16, = 0.003) and presence of clinical symptoms at baseline (aOR: 23.81; 95% CI: 10.7-52.98; < 0.001). Sex workers were independently less likely to have an AHD at presentation (aOR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.05-0.96, = 0.044).
Sociodemographic determinants influenced retention in care more than clinical factors. The presence of clinical symptoms and sociodemographic determinants were the main factors associated with AHD at baseline.
“全面治疗”政策对个人和公共卫生的影响与早期诊断和持续治疗密切相关。马达加斯加的患者水平数据很少。本研究旨在描述一组新诊断的艾滋病毒感染者/艾滋病患者(PLHIV)的特征,确定其结局,并评估与治疗中断和基线时出现的晚期 HIV 疾病(AHD)相关的因素。
我们对 2010 年 1 月 1 日至 2016 年 12 月 31 日在塔那那利佛约瑟夫·拉塞塔贝法莱坦纳纳大学医院新诊断为年龄≥15 岁的 PLHIV 进行了回顾性队列研究。
共有 490 名 PLHIV 被纳入队列分析。其中,67.1%为男性。入组时的中位年龄(四分位间距)为 29 岁(24-38)。总体而言,36.1%的 PLHIV 在基线时被诊断为 AHD。基线时出现世界卫生组织(WHO)第四阶段的患者比例从 2010 年的 3.3%显著增加到 2016 年的 31%(趋势检验, = 0.001)。诊断后 12 个月、24 个月和 36 个月的保留治疗的概率分别为 71.8%、65.5%和 61.3%。年龄≥40 岁(aHR:1.55;95%CI:1.05-2.29; = 0.026)、低教育水平(aHR:1.62;95%CI:1.11-2.36; = 0.013)、未指定教育水平(aHR:2.18;95%CI:1.37-3.47; = 0.001)和失业(aHR:1.52;95%CI:1.07-2.16; = 0.019)与治疗中断独立相关。与基线时 AHD 相关的因素包括年龄≥40 岁(aOR:2.77;95%CI:1.38-5.57, = 0.004)、未指定教育水平(aOR:3.80;95%CI:1.58-9.16, = 0.003)和基线时存在临床症状(aOR:23.81;95%CI:10.7-52.98; < 0.001)。性工作者在基线时出现 AHD 的可能性独立降低(aOR:0.23;95%CI:0.05-0.96, = 0.044)。
社会人口决定因素对保留治疗的影响大于临床因素。临床症状和社会人口决定因素是与基线时 AHD 相关的主要因素。
