  • Involvement of low- and middle-income countries in randomized controlled trial publications in oncology

    Open AccessJanice Wong, Janice C Wong et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2014

    BACKGROUND: We describe trends in participation by investigators from low- and middle-income countries (LMCs) in publications describing oncology randomized control trials (RCTs) over a decade. METHODS: We used Medline to identify RCTs published in English from 1998 to 2008 evaluating treatment in lung, breast, colorectal, stomach and liver cancers. Data on author affiliations, authorship roles, trial characteristics, funding and interventions we…

  • Suboptimal use of HIV drug resistance testing in a universal health-care setting

    Oghenowede Eyawo, Kimberly A Fernandes et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    HIV drug resistance testing is recommended as routine part of clinical practice in HIV/AIDS treatment and care. Our objective is to assess the determinants of accessing HIV drug resistance testing and examine the factors associated with resistance testing prior to or after starting highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in a setting where access to HIV care is free and universal. The Longitudinal Investigation into Supportive and Ancillary …

  • High prevalence of food insecurity among HIV-infected individuals receiving Haart in a resource-rich setting

    Aranka Anema, Sheri D Weiser et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    This study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of food insecurity in a cohort of HIV-infected individuals on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Adults receiving HAART voluntarily enrolled into the Longitudinal Investigations into Supportive and Ancillary Health Services (LISA) cohort. Individual food insecurity was measured using a modified version of the Radimer/Cornell Questionnaire. We perf…

  • Home is where the Haart is

    Krisztina Vàsàrhelyi, Eirikka K Brandson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    Understanding the neighbourhood perceptions of individuals living with HIV in urban and non-urban areas may help identify potential barriers to uptake and effectiveness of therapy. We evaluate how neighbourhood perceptions are influenced by socio-economic factors, such as food security and stable housing and other explanatory variables, among individuals receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in British Columbia. Neighbourhood per…

  • Factors behind HIV testing practices among Canadian Aboriginal peoples living off-reserve

    Treena Orchard, Treena R Orchard et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    The objective of this study was to examine factors associated with HIV testing among Aboriginal peoples in Canada who live off-reserve. Data were drawn for individuals aged 15-44 from the Aboriginal Peoples Survey (2001), which represents a weighed sample of 520,493 Aboriginal men and women living off-reserve. Bivariable analysis and logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with individuals who had received an HIV test within …

  • HIV antiviral drug resistance

    C Sarai Racey, Wendy Zhang et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    A patient's understanding and use of healthcare information can affect their decisions regarding treatment. Better patient understanding about HIV resistance may improve adherence to therapy, decrease population viral load and extend the use of first-line HIV therapies. We examined knowledge of developing HIV resistance and explored treatment outcomes in a cohort of HIV+ persons on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The longitudinal in…

  • The Association Between Food Insecurity and Mortality Among HIV-Infected Individuals on Haart

    Sheri D Weiser, Kimberly A Fernandes et al.ARTICLEJAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune…2009

    BACKGROUND: Food insecurity is increasingly recognized as a barrier to optimal treatment outcomes, but there is little data on this issue. We assessed associations between food insecurity and mortality among HIV-infected antiretroviral therapy-treated individuals in Vancouver, British Columbia, and whether body max index (BMI) modified associations. METHODS: Individuals were recruited from the British Columbia HIV/AIDS drug treatment program in 1…
