Uptake of diabetic retinopathy screening at a secondary level facility in Malawi
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication of long-standing diabetes mellitus (DM). DR screening is a cost-effective intervention for preventing blindness from DR. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the uptake and the predictors of uptake of annual DR screening in an opportunistic DR screening programme at a secondary-level diabetes clinic in Southern Malawi. Consecutive patients were interviewed using a str…
Quality of life among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi
Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly impacts quality of life (QoL) yet data among these patients in Malawi are lacking. This study was conducted to assess QoL among patients with T2DM. A mixed-method cross-section study was conducted at Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH), Lilongwe, Malawi. Data collection was done using a modified diabetes quality of life (MDQoL)-17 questionnaire for quantitative data while in-depth interviews and diary meth…
Antiretroviral Therapy for the Prevention of HIV-1 Transmission
BACKGROUND: An interim analysis of data from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 052 trial showed that antiretroviral therapy (ART) prevented more than 96% of genetically linked infections caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in serodiscordant couples. ART was then offered to all patients with HIV-1 infection (index participants). The study included more than 5 years of follow-up to assess the durability of such therapy for …
Maternal Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy and Child HIV-Free Survival in Malawi, 2004–2009
Effects of early versus delayed initiation of antiretroviral treatment on clinical outcomes of HIV-1 infection
Effects of Partnership Change on Microbicide Gel Adherence in a Clinical Trial (HPTN 035)
Prevention of HIV-1 Infection with Early Antiretroviral Therapy
BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral therapy that reduces viral replication could limit the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in serodiscordant couples. METHODS: In nine countries, we enrolled 1763 couples in which one partner was HIV-1-positive and the other was HIV-1-negative; 54% of the subjects were from Africa, and 50% of infected partners were men. HIV-1-infected subjects with CD4 counts between 350 and 550 cells per cubic m…
Fertility Intentions of HIV-1 Infected and Uninfected Women in Malawi
The role of men in women's acceptance of an intravaginal gel in a randomized clinical trial in Blantyre, Malawi
Survey questionnaires and focus group discussions were used to investigate the association between a female participant's acceptance and her perception of her male partner's acceptance of an intravaginal gel as a prototype microbicide. Women who perceived their male partners would accept using the gel were more likely to highly accept the gel as compared to women who perceived their male partners would not accept using the gel (OR=24.57; 95%CI: 1…
Can the initial success of the Malawi ART scale-up programme be sustained? The example of Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre
The antiretroviral therapy clinic of Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), Blantyre, Malawi was established as a fee-paying clinic in 2000. In 2004 a successful transition to free-of-charge antiretroviral therapy (ART) provision was made with the introduction of the national ART scale-up programme. Despite the human resource crisis in the healthcare system, remarkable improvements in quantity and quality of care, a reduction of defaulters, fav…
