Enhancing care quality and safety for (older) adults with long term support needs
Introduction: The global healthcare landscape faces considerable challenges due to the changing population and rise of chronic conditions. These challenges have led to fragmented healthcare services, unaligned care provision, and reduced quality. The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates for a shift towards integrated, people-centred health services that enhance value-based healthcare by reducing fragmentation, improving care quality, and con…
Evaluating the Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on HIV Testing, Enrollment, ART Use and Mortality in Suriname Using Interrupted Time Series Analysis
Our study evaluates the changes in HIV testing, new enrollments in the HIV surveillance system, treatment, and mortality of people with HIV during and after the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic in Suriname. A retrospective population-based study was conducted, using interrupted time series analyses with data from the HIV surveillance system from January 2013 until December 2023. The commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic lead to a decline in HIV tes…
HIV prevalence among cervical (pre)cancer diagnoses in Suriname
HIV testing, followed by treatment initiation when found HIV-positive, should be prioritized in women diagnosed with cervical neoplasia. This will enhance the individual clinical outcomes and facilitate the control of the HIV epidemic in Suriname
Evaluating elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Suriname
Objectives. To evaluate the cascade of care for the elimination of mother-to-child-transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Suriname and identify sociodemographic and clinical factors preventing transmission to exposed infants. Methods. A mixed-methods study design was used. Antenatal care data from the 2018 cross-sectional multi-indicator cluster survey on 1 026 women aged 15–49 years who had had a live birth in the previous 2 years…
Factors associated with mortality in persons co-infected with tuberculosis and HIV in Suriname
Objective. To identify socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with mortality among persons with tuberculosis (TB) and TB/HIV co-infection in Suriname. Methods. This was a retrospective cohort study using data from the national TB and HIV databases for 2010 – 2015. The survival probability of TB and TB/HIV co-infected patients was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier estimates and the log-rank test. A Cox proportional hazard model was applie…
Sexual inactivity among men who have sex with men living with hiv in europe
Objectives: Most people living with HIV stay sexually active, but some remain inactive. This study investigated prevalence and correlates of sexual inactivity among European HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: An anonymous sexual health questionnaire was distributed in 17 HIV outpatient clinics throughout Europe. Ninety-seven (11.6%) of 838 respondents reported absence of sexual activity. Results: Multivariable regression analy…
Sexual dysfunction in HIV-positive men is multi-factorial
To establish the prevalence of sexual dysfunction amongst HIV-positive men and to determine the factors associated with dysfunction we conducted a cross-sectional study in seven European HIV treatment centres. Data on medical history, antiretroviral treatment and laboratory results were collected by interview and case record review. Sexual function was evaluated by the participant self-completion of a questionnaire based on the International Inde…
Prevalence and factors associated with sexual dysfunction among HIV-positive women in Europe
Little is known on female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among HIV-positive women. A cross-sectional survey in seven European HIV centres was performed and data on medical history, antiretroviral treatment and laboratory results were collected. Sexual function was evaluated by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The data from 166 women were available (response rate=77%). The non-respondents had a lower CD4 cell count, were older and more frequentl…
Hospital services for people with HIV infection in Flanders
Two questionnaire surveys about satisfaction with hospital services were carried out among HIV-infected people in Flanders. In a first survey (CIRCA '93 study) between 1993 and 1995, before highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) was available, questionnaires were distributed by HIV treatment centres, general practitioners and HIV support organizations: 315 people with HIV infection completed the questionnaire. The level of patient satisfa…
Antiretroviral treatments used among adults with HIV infection in Europe
International guidelines for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection change rapidly. They are mainly based on results from large-scale randomized clinical trials, but also on hypotheses. The objective of the study was to look at the use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) in different HIV treatment centres in Europe. Between August 1996 and September 1997 self-administered anonymous questionnaires were distributed to persons with HIV …
