  • Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study

    Open AccessFabio Mauri, Sara Cottler-Casanova et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant and Minority…2022

    FGM/C is a harmful practice that involves injury of the external female genitalia without medical purpose. It is mainly practiced in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. However, with the migratory flows, women and girls with FGM/C and its consequences live all over the world. The lack of knowledge on how to care for women and girls living with FGM/C extends among all categories of health professionals involved in women's health, including infectio…

  • Random forest machine learning algorithm predicts virologic outcomes among HIV infected adults in Lausanne, Switzerland using electronically monitored combined antiretroviral treatment adherence

    Susan Kamal, John Urata et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    Machine Learning (ML) can improve the analysis of complex and interrelated factors that place adherent people at risk of viral rebound. Our aim was to build ML model to predict RNA viral rebound from medication adherence and clinical data. Patients were followed up at the Swiss interprofessional medication adherence program (IMAP). Sociodemographic and clinical variables were retrieved from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS). Daily electronic medi…

  • Survival of HIV-positive patients starting antiretroviral therapy between 1996 and 2013

    Open AccessAdam Trickey, Margaret May et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet HIV2017

    BACKGROUND: Health care for people living with HIV has improved substantially in the past two decades. Robust estimates of how these improvements have affected prognosis and life expectancy are of utmost importance to patients, clinicians, and health-care planners. We examined changes in 3 year survival and life expectancy of patients starting combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) between 1996 and 2013. METHODS: We analysed data from 18 Europe…

  • High prevalence of physical inactivity among patients from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study

    Juliane Schäfer, Jim Young et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    Physical activity (PA) can improve cardiorespiratory status, strength, body composition and quality of life for patients infected with HIV. Evidence from HIV-uninfected populations also shows that PA is associated with a lower risk of mortality, primarily death due to cardiovascular causes. There is, however, a lack of data on how physically active HIV-infected patients are. In this study, we assessed levels of self-reported PA over time in patie…

  • An interdisciplinary HIV-adherence program combining motivational interviewing and electronic antiretroviral drug monitoring

    Isabelle Krummenacher, Matthias Cavassini et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    To ensure successful treatment, HIV patients must maintain a high degree of medication adherence over time. Since August 2004, patients who are (or are at risk of) experiencing problems with their HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been referred by their physicians to an interdisciplinary HIV-adherence program. The program consists of a multifactorial intervention along with electronic drug monitoring (MEMS(TM)). The pharmacists organize indiv…
