  • Mortality among persons with tuberculosis in Zambian hospitals

    Open AccessJosphat Bwembya, Ramya Kumar et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Tuberculosis (TB) mortality in Zambia remains high at 86 per 100,000 populations, translating to approximately 15,000 TB-related deaths annually. We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study to understand predictors, time to death, and probable causes of mortality among persons on TB treatment in Zambia. We reviewed medical records for persons with TB registered in 54 purposively selected hospitals in Zambia between January and December 2…

  • Is single-dose NVP relevant in the era of more efficacious PMTCT regimens? Lessons from Zambia

    Kwasi Torpey, Prisca Kasonde et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    For almost a decade, single-dose nevirapine (sdNVP) has been proven to be a safe and effective drug for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. With the advent of the use of more efficacious combination therapy strategy in reducing mother-to-child transmission, sdNVP has been relegated as a lower tier intervention. Availability of infrastructural capacity coupled with the practical reality that very few women attend an ante…

  • Excluding pregnancy among women initiating antiretroviral therapy

    Open AccessKwasi Torpey, Lona Mwenda et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The pregnancy checklist is effective for excluding pregnancy in many women initiating ART, but its moderate sensitivity and specificity precludes its use to completely replace pregnancy testing. Its use should be encouraged in low resource settings where pregnancy tests are unavailable or must be rationed. Family planning methods should be available and integrated into ART clinics

  • Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Zambia

    Open AccessJustin Mandala, Kwasi Torpey et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    Efficacious ARV regimens beyond sdNVP can be implemented in resource-constrained PHCs. The majority (73.0%) of women identified eligible for ART were initiated on cART; however, a minority (11.3%) of HIV-positive pregnant women were assessed for CD4 count and had their test results available. Factors associated with implementation of more efficacious ARV regimens include timing of blood-draw for CD4 count and capacity to initiate cART onsite wher…
