Population-level adult mortality following the expansion of antiretroviral therapy in Rakai, Uganda
There are limited data on the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on population-level adult mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We analysed data for 2000-14 from the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) in Uganda, where free ART was scaled up after 2004. Using non-parametric and parametric (Weibull) survival analysis, we estimated trends in average person-years lived between exact ages 15 and 50, per capita life-years lost to HIV, and the mortalit…
Uptake and correlates of cervical cancer screening among HIV-infected women attending HIV care in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women are at high risk of cervical cancer. OBJECTIVE: This study assessed uptake and correlates of cervical screening among HIV-infected women in care in Uganda. METHODS: A nationally representative cross-sectional survey of HIV-infected women in care was conducted from August to November 2016. Structured interviews were conducted with 5198 women aged 15-49 years, from 245 HIV clinics. Knowl…
Effect of a participatory multisectoral maternal and newborn intervention on maternal health service utilization and newborn care practices
BACKGROUND: The MANIFEST study in eastern Uganda employed a participatory multisectoral approach to reduce barriers to access to maternal and newborn care services. OBJECTIVES: This study analyses the effect of the intervention on the utilization of maternal and newborn services and care practices. METHODS: The quasi-experimental pre- and post-comparison design had two main components: community mobilization and empowerment, and health provider c…
Maternal and neonatal implementation for equitable systems. A study design paper
BACKGROUND: Evidence on effective ways of improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes is widely available. The challenge that most low-income countries grapple with is implementation at scale and sustainability. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed at improving access to quality maternal and neonatal health services in a sustainable manner by using a participatory action research approach. METHODS: The study consisted of a quasi-experimental design, w…
Maternal Influences on Access to and Use of Infant ARVs and HIV Health Services in Uganda
Increasing access to institutional deliveries using demand and supply side incentives
BACKGROUND: Geographical inaccessibility, lack of transport, and financial burdens are some of the demand side constraints to maternal health services in Uganda, while supply side problems include poor quality services related to unmotivated health workers and inadequate supplies. Most public health interventions in Uganda have addressed only selected supply side issues, and universities have focused their efforts on providing maternal services a…
Effect of changing antiretroviral treatment eligibility criteria on patient load in Kampala, Uganda
In many resource-poor countries, CD4 count thresholds of eligibility for antiretroviral treatment (ART) were initially low (<200 cells/mm(3)) but are now being increased to improve patient survival and to reduce HIV transmission. There are few quantitative data on the effect of such increases on the demand for ART. The objective of this study was to measure HIV prevalence and the proportion of HIV-positives eligible for antiretroviral therapy at …
Burden of infection among heads and non-head of rural households in Rakai, Uganda
The objective was to determine HIV prevalence, symptomatology and mortality among adult heads and non-heads of households, in order to assess the burden of HIV on households. It was a community study of 11,536 adults aged 15-59, residing in 4,962 households in 56 villages, Rakai district, Uganda. First, 4,962 heads and 6,574 non-heads of households were identified from censuses. Interviews were then used to determine socio-demographic/behavioural…
