Abstract

Objective To evaluate mortality and morbidity among internally displaced persons (IDPs) who relocated in a demographic surveillance system (DSS) area in western Kenya following post-election violence. Methods In 2007, 204 000 individuals lived in the DSS area, where field workers visit households every 4 months to record migrations, births and deaths. We collected data on admissions among children < 5 years of age in the district hospital and developed special questionnaires to record information on IDPs. Mortality, migration and hospitalization rates among IDPs and regular DSS residents were compared, and verbal autopsies were performed for deaths. Findings Between December 2007 and May 2008, 16 428 IDPs migrated into the DSS, and over half of them stayed 6 months or longer. In 2008, IDPs aged 15-49 years died at higher rates than regular residents of the DSS (relative risk, RR: 1.34; 95% confidence interval, Ch 1.004-1.80). A greater percentage of deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection occurred among IDPs aged ≥ 5 years (53%) than among regular DSS residents (25-29%) (P< 0.001). Internally displaced children < 5 years of age did not die at higher rates than resident children but were hospitalized at higher rates (RR: 2.95; 95% Ch 2.44-3.58). Conclusion HIV-infected internally displaced adults in conflict-ridden parts of Africa are at increased risk of HIV- related death. Relief efforts should extend to IDPs who have relocated outside IDP camps, particularly if afflicted with HIV infection or other chronic conditions. Objectif Decrire le passage a l'echelle superieure d'un programme decentralise de traitement du VlH delivre au travers du systeme de soins de sante primaires au KwaZulu-Natal rural, Afrique du Sud, et evaluer les tendances des caracteristiques de ligne de base et les resultats sur la population etudiee. Methodes Le programme a commence la distribution d'une therapie antiretrovirale (TAR) en octobre 2004. Les informations concernant l'ensemble des patients entamant un traitement TAR ont ete recueillies dans une base de donnees informatisee et le suivi de leur etat a ete actualise chaque mois. Tous les patients adultes (≥ 16 ans) ayant commence laTAR entre octobre 2004 et septembre 2008 ont ete inclus et stratifies en groupes de 6 mois. Les caracteristiques cliniques et sociodemographiques ont ete comparees entre les groupes. Les taux de retention sous traitement et de mortalite, ainsi que les nombres de perdus pour le suivi et les resultats virologiques ont ete evalues 12 mois apres le debut de la TAR. Resultats Au total 5 719 patients ayant initie un traitement TAR ont ete inclus (67,9 % de femmes). Le nombre moyen de lymphocytes CD4+ a la ligne de base etait de 116 cellules/µL (intervalle interquartile, IQR: 53-173). Une augmentation de la proportion de femmes ayant entame un traitement TAR alors qu'elles etaient enceintes a ete notee, mais aucun changement n'a ete observe dans le temps pour les autres caracteristiques a la ligne de base. Le taux global de retention sous traitement a 12 mois etait de 84,0 % (intervalle de confiance a 95 %, IC: 82,6-85,3); 10,9 % sont decedes (10 a 95 %: 9,8-12,0); 3.7 % ont ete perdus pour le suivi (IC a 95 %: 3,0-4,4). La mortalite a ete plus elevee durant les 3 premiers mois qui ont suivi le debut de TAR : 30,1 deces pour 100 personnes-ans (IC a 95 %: 26,3-34,5). A 12 mois, 23,0 % presentaient une charge virale detectable (≥25 copies/mi) (IC a 95 %: 19,5-25,5). Conclusion Les resultats n'ont pas ete affectes par la rapide expansion . de ce programme de traitement du VIH decentralise. Les taux relativement eleves de charge virale detectable mettent en evidence la necessite de futurs efforts a mettre en place pour ameliorer la qualite des services. Objetivos Describir la ampliacion de un programa descentralizado de tratamiento del VIH a traves del sistema sanitario de atencion primaria en zonas rurales de KwaZulu-Natal, Sudafrica, y evaluar las tendencias de las caracteristicas iniciales y los resultados de la poblacion en estudio. Metodos El programa comenzo con la administracion de un tratamiento antirretroviral (ARV) en octubre de 2004. La informacion de todos los pacientes que comenzaron el tratamiento ARV se recopilo en la base de datos del programa y el seguimiento se actualizo mensualmente. Todos los pacientes adultos (≥ 16 anos) que iniciaron el tratamiento ARV entre octubre de 2004 y septiembre de 2008 se incluyeron y estratificaron en grupos de seis meses. Se compararon las caracteristicas clinicas y sociodemograficas intergrupales. A los 12 meses del inicio del tratamiento ARV se evaluo la continuidad asistencial, la perdida para el seguimiento y los resultados virologicos. Resultados Se incluyo a un total de 5719 adultos que habian iniciado el tratamiento ARV, de los que el 67,9% eran mujeres. EI recuento medio inicial de linfocitos CD4 fue de 116 celulas/pl (ampiitud intercuartil, AIC: 53-173). EI porcentaje de mujeres que iniciaron el tratamiento ARV durante el embarazo aumento, si bien no se produjo ningun cambio en otras caracteristicas iniciales a lo largo del tiempo. La continuidad asistencial general a los 12 meses fue del 84,0% (intervalo de confianza dei 95%, Cl: 82; 6--85,3); el 10,9% fallecio (Cl del 95%: 9; 8-12,0); el 3,7% se perdio para el seguimiento (Cl del 95%: 3,0-4,4). La mortalidad fue mas elevada en los primeros tres meses posteriores al inicio del tratamiento ARV: 30,1 fallecimientos por cada 100 anos-personas (CI del 95%: 26,3--34,5). EI 23,0% tenia una carga viral detectable a los 12 meses (≥ 25 replicas/mi)(CI del 95%: 19,5-25,5). Conclusion Los resultados no se vieron afectados por la rapida expansion de este programa descentralizado de tratamiento del VIH. Los indices relativamente altos de la carga virica detectable ponen en evidencia la necesidad de dedicar un mayor esfuerzo en la mejora de la calidad de los servicios., Introduction Following the contentious presidential elections held in Kenya on 27 December 2007, violence and civil unrest erupted throughout the country and lasted for several months. During that time, over [...]

Abstract

Decision analysis helped to assess morbidity, deaths and costs associated with tuberculosis among various legal immigrants, refugees and visitors from Mexico after their arrival in the United States. The attempt to increase the directly observed treatment, short course (DOTS) program in Mexico, Haiti and the Dominican Republic through US funding was observed to decrease tuberculosis-related morbidity and deaths among migrants to the US and result in net cost savings.

Abstract

Abstract Background Malaria transmission is highly heterogeneous in most settings, resulting in the formation of recognizable malaria hotspots. Targeting these hotspots might represent a highly efficacious way of controlling or eliminating malaria if the hotspots fuel malaria transmission to the wider community. Methods/design Hotspots of malaria will be determined based on spatial patterns in age-adjusted prevalence and density of antibodies against malaria antigens apical membrane antigen-1 and merozoite surface protein-1. The community effect of interventions targeted at these hotspots will be determined. The intervention will comprise larviciding, focal screening and treatment of the human population, distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying. The impact of the intervention will be determined inside and up to 500 m outside the targeted hotspots by PCR-based parasite prevalence in cross-sectional surveys, malaria morbidity by passive case detection in selected facilities and entomological monitoring of larval and adult Anopheles populations. Discussion This study aims to provide direct evidence for a community effect of hotspot-targeted interventions. The trial is powered to detect large effects on malaria transmission in the context of ongoing malaria interventions. Follow-up studies will be needed to determine the effect of individual components of the interventions and the cost-effectiveness of a hotspot-targeted approach, where savings made by reducing the number of compounds that need to receive interventions should outweigh the costs of hotspot-detection. Trial registration NCT01575613. The protocol was registered online on 20 March 2012; the first community was randomized on 26 March 2012.
