  • Treatment outcomes 12 months after antiretroviral therapy initiation in Oman

    Ali Elgalib, Samir Shah et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    We used routinely collected programme data on people living with HIV in Oman who started ART in 2014-2018 to assess retention on ART, viral suppression, attrition (mortality or loss to follow-up [LTFU]) and treatment failure (attrition or HIV viral load of > 1000 copies/mL) 12 months after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. We identified 726 patients; 72% were male. Overall, 12 months retention on ART and viral suppression (intention-to-tre…

  • Elevated Copeptin Levels Are Associated with Heart Failure Severity and Adverse Outcomes in Children with Cardiomyopathy

    Open AccessKaran Karki, Karan B Karki et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    In children with cardiomyopathy, the severity of heart failure (HF) varies. However, copeptin, which is a biomarker of neurohormonal adaptation in heart failure, has not been studied in these patients. In this study, we evaluated the correlation of copeptin level with functional HF grading, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and echocardiography variables in children with cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, we determined if copeptin levels are associated…

  • Analyzing Relationships Between Economic and Neighborhood-Related Social Determinants of Health and Intensive Care Unit Length of Stay for Critically Ill Children With Medical Complexity Presenting Wi…

    Open AccessHunter Hamilton, Alina Nico West et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Objectives: Of the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), we evaluated socioeconomic and neighborhood-related factors which may affect children with medical complexity (CMC) admitted to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in Shelby County, Tennessee with severe sepsis and their association with PICU length of stay (LOS). We hypothesized that census tract-level socioeconomic and neighborhood factors were associated with prolonged PICU LOS in CMC…

  • Retention in HIV care and factors associated with loss to follow-up in Oman

    Ali Elgalib, Samir Shah et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    We conducted a cross-sectional analysis to determine the rate of retention in HIV care and the factors associated with loss to follow-up (LTFU) among Omani adults living with HIV who were linked to care as of 31 December 2019. Patients (n = 1610) were identified from a central national HIV surveillance dataset. The majority (68.3%) of patients were male, and the median age was 39 years (IQR, 31–48 years). A total of 1480 patient (91.9%) were reta…

  • Predictors of late presentation and advanced HIV disease among people living with HIV in Oman (2000–2019)

    Open AccessAli Elgalib, Samir Shah et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    This analysis indicates that a significant proportion of new HIV cases in Oman continue to present late. This study identified patient subgroups at greatest risk of late HIV diagnosis such as men and older people. Targeted interventions and greater efforts to scale up HIV testing services in Oman are needed

  • The Contribution of Council House Allocation to West Indian Desegregation in London, 1961-71

    Open AccessCeri Peach, Samir ShahARTICLEUrban Studies1980Cited by: 10References: 1

    Analysis of special tabulations of the 1971 census for the Greater London Council area indicates that the allocation of council housing had the main effect of re-sorting the West Indian population within the boroughs of high concentration rather than redistributing them between the areas of high and low concentration. While, so far, research effort has highlighted the discrimination in the type of housing allocated, this problem may be remedied w…
