Effect of same-day HIV treatment initiation (SDI) on 1-year outcomes in low- and middle-income countries
Assessing compliance with national guidelines in diabetes care
Diabetes is a major global health issue. We evaluated compliance to laboratory-based management guidelines for diabetes (type 1 and 2), essential for effective treatment and reducing diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. Our study utilized South Africa’s National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS) data, focusing on patients from birth to age 80 years who underwent initial diabetes laboratory testing between January 1, 2012-January 1, 2016. Pat…
The cost of adding rapid screening for diabetes, hypertension, and Covid-19 to Covid-19 vaccination queues in Johannesburg, South Africa
We show the cost of finding potentially new cases of DM and HTN in a vaccine queue, which is an essential first step in understanding the feasibility and resource requirements for such initiatives. However, there is a need for comparative economic analyses that include linkage to care and retention data to fully understand this cost and determine whether opportunistic screening should be added to general mass health activities
Health systems performance for hypertension control using a cascade of care approach in South Africa, 2011–2017
Hypertension is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. In South Africa, the government has employed a whole systems approach to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases. We used a novel incident care cascade approach to measure changes in the South African health system’s ability to manage hypertension between 2011 and 2017. We used data from Waves 1–5 of the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) to estimate trends …
Integration of point-of-care screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension into the Covid-19 vaccine programme in Johannesburg, South Africa
Our study underscores the value of utilizing even brief healthcare interactions as opportunities for screening additional health conditions, thereby aiding the identification of previously undiagnosed cases. Integrating NCD screenings into routine healthcare visits holds promise, especially in resource-constrained settings. Nonetheless, concerted efforts to strengthen care linkage are crucial for holistic NCD management and control. These finding…
