Hospital and Patient Characteristics Associated with Neonatal Blood Stream Infection in Inpatient Care
This study provides important insights into PAEs within the inpatient hospital setting, particularly focusing on NBSIs within the PDI framework. The findings highlight critical areas for the development of evidence-based interventions and guidelines, which are essential for clinicians and policymakers. Ultimately, this study contributes to the understanding and improvement of pediatric patient safety by emphasizing the necessity for targeted stra…
Socioeconomic status and other factors associated with HIV status among OVC in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
Background: Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) are a high-risk group for HIV infection, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Risk Factors for TB/HIV Coinfection and Consequences for Patient Outcomes
(1) Background: In resource-limited countries, patients with tuberculosis (TB)/HIV coinfection commonly face economic, sociocultural, and behavioral barriers to effective treatment. These barriers manifest from low treatment literacy, poverty, gender inequality, malnutrition, societal stigmas regarding HIV, and an absence of available care. It is critical for intervention programs to understand and assist in overcoming these barriers and any addi…
Disparities in HIV Clinical Stages Progression of Patients at Outpatient Clinics in Democratic Republic of Congo
Our study showed that TB co-infection raised the risk for PLHIV to be at the severe stages of clinical progression of HIV. Such variation supports the thesis that customized HIV management approaches and clinical regimens may be imperative for this high-risk population. We also found significant variation in HIV clinical progression stages by geographic location and demographic characteristics. Such variation points to the need for more targeted …
Consequences of Covid-19 crisis for persons with HIV
Persons living with HIV that also have other underlying comorbidities are a great disadvantage from the negative consequences of COVID-19. For those that may test positive for both HIV and COVID-19, the increased psychosocial burdens stemming from stress and isolation, as well as, experiencing additional barriers that inhibit access to care, may cause them to become more disenfranchised. Thus, it becomes very important during the current pandemic…
