Trends in discharges from the HIV/Aids ward at a tertiary Canadian Hospital from 2005 to 2014
Denise Jaworsky, Peter W B Phillips et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018
Advances in HIV therapies have transformed HIV infection into a manageable chronic disease. Accordingly, hospital admission trends among people living with HIV may have evolved over time. This study describes discharge diagnoses from the dedicated HIV/AIDS ward at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada. A retrospective database review of admissions to the HIV/AIDS ward between 1 July 2005 and 30 June 2014 was conducted. Primary discharge diagno…
Availability of nutritional support services in HIV care and treatment sites in sub-Saharan African countries
Open AccessAranka Anema, Wendy Zhang et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2012
Objective To examine the availability of nutritional support services in HIV care and treatment sites across sub-Saharan Africa. Design In 2008, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of sites providing antiretroviral therapy (ART) in nine sub-Saharan African countries. Outcomes included availability of: (i) nutritional counselling; (ii) micronutrient supplementation; (iii) treatment for severe malnutrition; and (iv) food rations. Associations wit…
Reduction in overdose mortality after the opening of North America's first medically supervised safer injecting facility
Open AccessBrandon D L Marshall, Brandon DL Marshall et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2011
Pathways to HIV risk and vulnerability among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered methamphetamine users
Open AccessBrandon D L Marshall, Brandon DL Marshall et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011
Methamphetamine use was more prevalent among sexual minority males and females and was associated with different sets of HIV risks and vulnerabilities. Our findings suggest that interventions addressing MA-related harms may need to be informed by more nuanced understandings of the intersection between drug use patterns, social and structural HIV vulnerabilities, and gender/sexual identities. In particular, MA-focused prevention and treatment prog…
Association of highly active antiretroviral therapy coverage, population viral load, and yearly new HIV diagnoses in British Columbia, Canada
Open AccessJulio Montaner, Julio SG Montaner et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2010
Physician's manual reporting underestimates mortality
Open AccessChristopher G Au-Yeung, Aranka Anema et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010
Relying only on manual reports to ascertain deaths significantly underestimates the total number of deaths in the population. This can generate important biases when evaluating the impact of therapeutic interventions in the populational setting
Determinants of hospitalization for a cutaneous injection-related infection among injection drug users
Open AccessElisa Lloyd‐Smith, Elisa Lloyd-Smith et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010
A strong predictor of hospitalization for a CIRI or related infectious complication was being referred to the hospital by a nurse from the SIF. This finding indicates that nurses not only facilitate hospital utilization but may provide early intervention that prevents lengthy and expensive hospital visits for a CIRI or related infectious complication
Elevated HIV risk behaviour among recently incarcerated injection drug users in a Canadian setting
Open AccessM-J S Milloy, Jane Buxton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009
In a sample of Canadian IDU, we did not observe any effect of incarceration on the prevalence of several behaviours that are risk factors for HIV infection, including intensity of drug use or participation in the sex trade. However, those recently released from prison were more likely to report syringe sharing that those in a matched control group
Structural factors associated with an increased risk of HIV and sexually transmitted infection transmission among street-involved youth
Open AccessBrandon D L Marshall, Brandon DL Marshall et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009
Although limited by its cross-sectional design, our study found several structural factors amenable to policy-level interventions independently associated with sexual risk behaviours. These findings imply that the criminalization and displacement of street-involved youth may increase the likelihood that youth will engage in sexual risk behaviours and exacerbate the negative impact of resultant health outcomes. Moreover, our findings indicate that…
Unstable housing and hepatitis C incidence among injection drug users in a Canadian setting
Open AccessChristina Kim, Thomas Kerr et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009
HCV prevalence and incidence are high in this setting and were associated with unstable housing. Efforts to protect existing low-income housing and improve access to housing may help to reduce HCV incidence
Injection drug use among street-involved youth in a Canadian setting
Open AccessThomas Kerr, Brandon D L Marshall et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009
These findings highlight an alarmingly high prevalence of injection drug use among street-involved youth and demonstrate its association with an array of risks and harms, including sex work involvement, overdose, and HCV infection. These findings point to the need for a broad set of policies and interventions to prevent the initiation of injection drug use and address the risks faced by street-involved youth who are actively injecting
Risk factors for developing a cutaneous injection-related infection among injection drug users
Open AccessElisa Lloyd‐Smith, Elisa Lloyd-Smith et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008
CIRI were common among a subset of IDU in this study, including females, those injecting cocaine daily, living in unstable housing, requiring help injecting or borrowing syringes. In order to reduce the burden of morbidity associated with CIRI, targeted interventions that address a range of factors, including social and environmental conditions, are needed
The effect of adherence on the association between depressive symptoms and mortality among HIV-infected individuals first initiating Haart
Valentina Dorea Lima, Viviane D Lima et al.ARTICLEAIDS2007
OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of depressive symptoms on mortality among HIV/AIDS patients first initiating HAART and the potential role of patient adherence as a confounder and effect modifier in this association. METHODS: The study comprised HIV-positive individuals who were first prescribed HAART between August 1996 and June 2002. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Cox proportiona…
