  • Population-level adult mortality following the expansion of antiretroviral therapy in Rakai, Uganda

    Open AccessDorean Nabukalu, Georges Reniers et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2020Referencias: 30

    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…

    Open AccessElizabeth Ekirapa-Kiracho, Elizabeth Ekirapa Kiracho et al.ARTICLEBMC International Health and…2011

    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

    Joseph Konde-Lule, Fred Makumbi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    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 …
