Item Accuracy of nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire against psychiatric diagnosis for depression among people with HIV(Wolters Kluwer, 2024) Yotebieng, Marcel; Zotova, Natalia; Bernard, Charlotte; Goodrich, Suzanne; Rogers Awoh, Ajeh; Watnick, Dana; Nsonde, Dominique Mahambu; Tchiengang Moungang, Elodie Flore; Nguemo Noumedem, Julie Laure; Nko'o Mbongo'o, Guy Calvin; Minga, Albert; Seydi, Moussa; Gandou, Paul; Kwobah, Edith Kamaru; Atwoli, Lukoye; Jaquet, Antoine; Wools-Kaloustian, Kara; Anastos, Kathryn; IeDEA Consortium; Medicine, School of MedicineObjective: The aim of this study was to assess the performance of the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) against psychiatrist diagnosis in people with HIV (PWH). Design: Cross-sectional analysis of data collected between January 2018 and July 2022 across five sites in Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Senegal, and the Republic of Congo. Participants were ≥18 years and receiving HIV care at the participating site. PHQ-9 was administered by study staff followed by a psychiatrist's evaluation within 3 days. Results: Overall, 778 participants with complete data were included: 297 (38.2%) in Cameroon, 132 (17.0%) in Congo, 148 (19.0%) in Cote d'Ivoire, 98 (12.6%) in Kenya, and 103 (13.2%) in Senegal. The area under the curve for PHQ-9 score was generally high ranging from 0.935 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.893, 0.977] in Cote d'Ivoire to 0.768 (95% CI: 0.589, 0.947) in Congo. However, for the common cut-off score ≥10, sensitivity was low: 50% or lower in Cameroon, Congo and Senegal, 66.7% in Kenya and 70.6% in Cote d'Ivoire. But negative predictive values (NPV) were high: 98.9% (95% CI: 96.9%, 99.8%) in Cameroon, 96.1 (95% CI: 91.1, 98.7) in Cote d'Ivoire, 96.3% (95% CI: 89.7%, 99.2%) in Kenya, 95.7% (95% CI: 90.2%, 98.6%) in Congo, and 89.0% (95% CI: 81.2%, 94.4%) in Senegal. Interpretation: Across all countries, PHQ-9 score ≥10 performed very poorly (low sensitivity) as a tool to identify psychiatrist diagnosed depression. However, the observed high NPV suggests it can be used to rule out depression.Item Cervical cancer prevention and care in HIV clinics across sub-Saharan Africa: results of a facility-based survey(Wiley, 2024) Asangbeh-Kerman, Serra Lem; Davidović, Maša; Taghavi, Katayoun; Dhokotera, Tafadzwa; Manasyan, Albert; Sharma, Anjali; Jaquet, Antoine; Musick, Beverly; Twizere, Christella; Chimbetete, Cleophas; Murenzi, Gad; Tweya, Hannock; Muhairwe, Josephine; Wools-Kaloustian, Kara; Technau, Karl-Gunter; Anastos, Kathryn; Yotebieng, Marcel; Jousse, Marielle; Ezechi, Oliver; Orang’o, Omenge; Bosomprah, Samuel; Boni, Simon Pierre; Basu, Partha; Bohlius, Julia; IeDEA; Biostatistics and Health Data Science, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public HealthIntroduction: To eliminate cervical cancer (CC), access to and quality of prevention and care services must be monitored, particularly for women living with HIV (WLHIV). We assessed implementation practices in HIV clinics across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to identify gaps in the care cascade and used aggregated patient data to populate cascades for WLHIV attending HIV clinics. Methods: Our facility-based survey was administered between November 2020 and July 2021 in 30 HIV clinics across SSA that participate in the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium. We performed a qualitative site-level assessment of CC prevention and care services and analysed data from routine care of WLHIV in SSA. Results: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was offered in 33% of sites. Referral for CC diagnosis (42%) and treatment (70%) was common, but not free at about 50% of sites. Most sites had electronic health information systems (90%), but data to inform indicators to monitor global targets for CC elimination in WLHIV were not routinely collected in these sites. Data were collected routinely in only 36% of sites that offered HPV vaccination, 33% of sites that offered cervical screening and 20% of sites that offered pre-cancer and CC treatment. Conclusions: Though CC prevention and care services have long been available in some HIV clinics across SSA, patient and programme monitoring need to be improved. Countries should consider leveraging their existing health information systems and use monitoring tools provided by the World Health Organization to improve CC prevention programmes and access, and to track their progress towards the goal of eliminating CC.Item Delayed presentation of HIV among older individuals: a growing problem(Elsevier, 2022) Justice, Amy C.; Goetz, Matthew B.; Stewart, Cameron N.; Hogan, Brenna C.; Humes, Elizabeth; Luz, Paula M.; Castilho, Jessica L.; Nash, Denis; Brazier, Ellen; Musick, Beverly; Yiannoutsos, Constantin; Malateste, Karen; Jaquet, Antoine; Cornell, Morna; Shamu, Tinei; Rajasuriar, Reena; Jiamsakul, Awachana; Althoff, Keri N.; Biostatistics and Health Data Science, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public HealthLate presentation for care is a major impediment to the prevention and effective treatment of HIV infection. Older individuals are at increased risk of late presentation, represent a growing proportion of people with late presentation, and might require interventions tailored to their age group. We provide a summary of the literature published globally between 2016-21 (reporting data from 1984-2018) and quantify the association of age with delayed presentation. Using the most common definitions of late presentation and older age from these earlier studies, we update this work with data from the International Epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium, focusing on data from 2000-19, encompassing four continents. Finally, we consider how late presentation among older individuals might be more effectively addressed as electronic medical records become widely adopted.Item Effects of National Adoption of Treat-All Guidelines on Pre-Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) CD4 Testing and Viral Load Monitoring After ART initiation: A Regression Discontinuity Analysis(Oxford University Press, 2021) Brazier, Ellen; Tymejczyk, Olga; Zaniewski, Elizabeth; Egger, Matthias; Wools-Kaloustian, Kara; Yiannoutsos, Constantin T.; Jaquet, Antoine; Althoff, Keri N.; Lee, Jennifer S.; Caro-Vega, Yanink; Luz, Paula M.; Tanuma, Junko; Niyongabo, Théodore; Nash, Denis; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: The World Health Organization's Treat-All guidance recommends CD4 testing before initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART), and routine viral load (VL) monitoring (over CD4 monitoring) for patients on ART. Methods: We used regression discontinuity analyses to estimate changes in CD4 testing and VL monitoring among 547 837 ART-naive patients enrolling in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care during 2006-2018 at 225 clinics in 26 countries where Treat-All policies were adopted. We examined CD4 testing within 12 months before and VL monitoring 6 months after ART initiation among adults (≥20 years), adolescents (10-19 years), and children (0-9 years) in low/lower-middle-income countries (L/LMICs) and high/upper-middle-income countries (H/UMICs). Results: Treat-All adoption led to an immediate decrease in pre-ART CD4 testing among adults in L/LMICs, from 57.0% to 48.1% (-8.9 percentage points [pp]; 95% CI: -11.0, -6.8), and a small increase in H/UMICs, from 90.1% to 91.7% (+1.6pp; 95% CI: 0.2, 3.0), with no changes among adolescents or children; decreases in pre-ART CD4 testing accelerated after Treat-All adoption in L/LMICs. In L/LMICs, VL monitoring after ART initiation was low among all patients in L/LMICs before Treat-All; while there was no immediate change at Treat-All adoption, VL monitoring trends significantly increased afterwards. VL monitoring increased among adults immediately after Treat-All adoption, from 58.2% to 61.1% (+2.9pp; 95% CI: 0.5, 5.4), with no significant changes among adolescents/children. Conclusions: While on-ART VL monitoring has improved in L/LMICs, Treat-All adoption has accelerated and disparately worsened suboptimal pre-ART CD4 monitoring, which may compromise care outcomes for individuals with advanced HIV.Item Global estimates of viral suppression in children and adolescents and adults on antiretroviral therapy adjusted for missing viral load measurements: a multiregional, retrospective cohort study in 31 countries(Elsevier, 2021) Han, Win Min; Law, Matthew G.; Egger, Matthias; Wools-Kaloustian, Kara; Moore, Richard; McGowan, Catherine; Kumarasamy, Nagalingesawaran; Desmonde, Sophie; Edmonds, Andrew; Davies, Mary-Ann; Yiannoutsos, Constantin; Althoff, Keri N.; Cortes, Claudia P.; Mohamed, Thahira Jamal; Jaquet, Antoine; Anastos, Kathryn; Euvrard, Jonathan; Castelnuovo, Barbara; Salters, Kate; Esteves Coelho, Lara; Ekouevi, Didier K.; Eley, Brian; Diero, Lameck; Zaniewski, Elizabeth; Ford, Nathan; Sohn, Annette H.; Kariminia, Azar; IeDEA collaboration; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: As countries move towards the UNAIDS's 95-95-95 targets and with strong evidence that undetectable equals untransmittable, it is increasingly important to assess whether those with HIV who are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) achieve viral suppression. We estimated the proportions of children and adolescents and adults with viral suppression at 1, 2, and 3 years after initiating ART. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, seven regional cohorts from the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium contributed data from individuals initiating ART between Jan 1, 2010, and Dec 31, 2019, at 148 sites in 31 countries with annual viral load monitoring. Only people with HIV who started ART after the time a site started routine viral load monitoring were included. Data up to March 31, 2020, were analysed. We estimated the proportions of children and adolescents (aged <18 years at ART initiation) and adults (aged ≥18 years at ART initiation) with viral suppression (viral load <1000 copies per mL) at 1, 2, and 3 years after ART initiation using an intention-to-treat approach and an adjusted approach that accounted for missing viral load measurements. Findings: 21 594 children and adolescents (11 812 [55%] female, 9782 [45%] male) from 106 sites in 22 countries and 255 662 adults (163 831 [64%] female, 91 831 [36%] male) from 143 sites in 30 countries were included. Using the intention-to-treat approach, the proportion of children and adolescents with viral suppression was 7303 (36%) of 20 478 at 1 year, 5709 (30%) of 19 135 at 2 years, and 4287 (24%) of 17 589 at 3 years after ART initiation; the proportion of adults with viral suppression was 106 541 (44%) of 240 600 at 1 year, 79 141 (36%) of 220 925 at 2 years, and 57 970 (29%) of 201 124 at 3 years after ART initiation. After adjusting for missing viral load measurements among those who transferred, were lost to follow-up, or who were in follow-up without viral load testing, the proportion of children and adolescents with viral suppression was 12 048 (64% [plausible range 43-81]) of 18 835 at 1 year, 10 796 (62% [41-77]) of 17 553 at 2 years, and 9177 (59% [38-91]) of 15 667 at 3 years after ART initiation; the proportion of adults with viral suppression was 176 964 (79% [53-80]) of 225 418 at 1 year, 145 552 (72% [48-79]) of 201 238 at 2 years, and 115 260 (65% [43-69]) of 178 458 at 3 years after ART initiation. Interpretation: Although adults with HIV are approaching the global target of 95% viral suppression, progress among children and adolescents is much slower. Substantial efforts are still needed to reach the viral suppression target for children and adolescents.Item International epidemiology databases to evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) in sub-Saharan Africa, 2012–2019(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-05-15) Chammartin, Frédérique; Dao Ostinelli, Cam Ha; Anastos, Kathryn; Jaquet, Antoine; Brazier, Ellen; Brown, Steven; Dabis, Francois; Davies, Mary-Ann; Duda, Stephany N.; Malateste, Karen; Nash, Denis; Wools-Kaloustian, Kara; von Groote, Per M.; Egger, Matthias; Biostatistics, School of Public HealthPurpose: The objectives of the International epidemiology databases to evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) are to (i) evaluate the delivery of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in children, adolescents and adults in sub-Saharan Africa, (ii) to describe ART regimen effectiveness, durability and tolerability, (iii) to examine HIV-related comorbidities and coinfections and (iv) to examine the pregnancy-related and HIV-related outcomes of women on ART and their infants exposed to HIV or ART in utero or via breast milk. Participants: IeDEA is organised in four regions (Central, East, Southern and West Africa), with 240 treatment and care sites, six data centres at African, European and US universities, and almost 1.4 million children, adolescents and adult people living with HIV (PLWHIV) enrolled. Findings to date: The data include socio-demographic characteristics, clinical outcomes, opportunistic events, treatment regimens, clinic visits and laboratory measurements. They have been used to analyse outcomes in PLWHIV-1 or PLWHIV-2 who initiate ART, including determinants of mortality, of switching to second-line and third-line ART, drug resistance, loss to follow-up and the immunological and virological response to different ART regimens. Programme-level estimates of mortality have been corrected for loss to follow-up. We examined the impact of coinfection with hepatitis B and C, and the epidemiology of different cancers and of (multidrug resistant) tuberculosis, renal disease and of mental illness. The adoption of 'Treat All', making ART available to all PLWHIV regardless of CD4+ cell count or clinical stage was another important research topic. Future plans: IeDEA has formulated several research priorities for the 'Treat All' era in sub-Saharan Africa. It recently obtained funding to set up sentinel sites where additional data are prospectively collected on cardiometabolic risks factors as well as mental health and liver diseases, and is planning to create a drug resistance database.Item Pitfalls of practicing cancer epidemiology in resource-limited settings: the case of survival and loss to follow-up after a diagnosis of Kaposi’s sarcoma in five countries across sub-Saharan Africa.(BMC, 2016) Freeman, Esther; Semeere, Aggrey; Wenger, Megan; Bwana, Mwebesa; Asirwa, F. Chite; Busakhala, Naftali; Oga, Emmanuel; Jedy-Agba, Elima; Kwaghe, Vivian; Iregbu, Kenneth; Jaquet, Antoine; Dabis, Francois; Yumo, Habakkuk Azinyui; Dusingize, Jean Claude; Bangsberg, David; Anastos, Kathryn; Phiri, Sam; Bohlius, Julia; Egger, Matthias; Yiannoutsos, Constantin; Wools-Kaloustian, Kara; Martin, Jeffrey; Department of Biostatistics, Fairbanks School of Public HealthSurvival after diagnosis is a fundamental concern in cancer epidemiology. In resource-rich settings, ambient clinical databases, municipal data and cancer registries make survival estimation in real-world populations relatively straightforward. In resource-poor settings, given the deficiencies in a variety of health-related data systems, it is less clear how well we can determine cancer survival from ambient data.Item The role of dermatology in Kaposi sarcoma diagnosis across three regions in sub-Saharan Africa(Elsevier, 2020) Seth, Divya; Williams, Victoria L.; McMahon, Devon E.; Regan, Susan; Busakhala, Naftali; Wools-Kaloustian, Kara; Mosoajane, Karen; Ralefala, Tlotlo B.; Kayembe, Mukendi; Iregbu, Kenneth; Kwaghe, Vivian; Jedy-Agba, Elima; Oyesiku, Linda; Maurer, Toby; Jaquet, Antoine; Bassett, Ingrid V.; Martin, Jeff; Grover, Surbhi; Freeman, Esther E.; Medicine, School of Medicine
