Abstract

Introduction In low? and middle?income settings, more than a third of HIV?positive individuals starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) present with advanced disease (CD4 ? 200 cells/mm[sup.3] ); over half of these [...], : Introduction: Many HIV?positive individuals in Africa have advanced disease when initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) so have high risks of opportunistic infections and death. The REALITY trial found that an enhanced?prophylaxis package including fluconazole reduced mortality by 27% in individuals starting ART with CD4 Methods: The REALITY trial enrolled from June 2013 to April 2015. A decision?analytic model was developed to estimate the cost?effectiveness of six management strategies in individuals initiating ART in the REALITY trial countries. Strategies included standard?prophylaxis, enhanced?prophylaxis, standard?prophylaxis with fluconazole; and three CrAg testing strategies, the first stratifying individuals to enhanced?prophylaxis (CrAg?positive) or standard?prophylaxis (CrAg?negative), the second to enhanced?prophylaxis (CrAg?positive) or enhanced?prophylaxis without fluconazole (CrAg?negative) and the third to standard?prophylaxis with fluconazole (CrAg?positive) or without fluconazole (CrAg?negative). The model estimated costs, life?years and quality?adjusted life?years (QALY) over 48 weeks using three competing mortality risks: cryptococcal meningitis; tuberculosis, serious bacterial infection or other known cause; and unknown cause. Results: Enhanced?prophylaxis was cost?effective at cost?effectiveness thresholds of US$300 and US$500 per QALY with an incremental cost?effectiveness ratio (ICER) of US$157 per QALY in the CD4 Conclusions: The REALITY enhanced?prophylaxis package in individuals with advanced HIV starting ART reduces morbidity and mortality, is practical to administer and is cost?effective. Efforts should continue to ensure that components are accessed at lowest available prices.

Abstract

Background: Severe anaemia (haemoglobin < 6 g/dL) is a leading cause of recurrent hospitalisation in African children. We investigated predictors of readmission in children hospitalised with severe anaemia in the TRACT trial (ISRCTN84086586) in order to identify potential future interventions.\ud Methods: Secondary analyses of the trial examined 3894 children from Uganda and Malawi surviving a hospital episode of severe anaemia. Predictors of all-cause readmission within 180 days of discharge were identified using multivariable regression with death as a competing risk. Groups of children with similar characteristics were identified using hierarchical clustering.\ud Results: Of the 3894 survivors 682 (18%) were readmitted; 403 (10%) had ≥2 re-admissions over 180 days. Three main causes of readmission were identified: severe anaemia (n = 456), malaria (n = 252) and haemoglobinuria/dark urine syndrome (n = 165). Overall, factors increasing risk of readmission included HIV-infection (hazard ratio 2.48\ud (95% CI 1.63–3.78), p < 0.001); ≥2 hospital admissions in the preceding 12 months (1.44(1.19–1.74), p < 0.001); history of transfusion (1.48(1.13–1.93), p = 0.005); and missing ≥1 trial medication dose (proxy for care quality) (1.43 (1.21–1.69), p < 0.001). Children with uncomplicated severe anaemia (Hb 4-6 g/dL and no severity features),\ud who never received a transfusion (per trial protocol) during the initial admission had a substantially lower risk of readmission (0.67(0.47–0.96), p = 0.04). Malaria (among children with no prior history of transfusion) (0.60(0.47–0.76), p < 0.001); younger-age (1.07 (1.03–1.10) per 1 year younger, p < 0.001) and known sickle cell disease (0.62(0.46–0.82), p = 0.001) also decreased risk of readmission. For anaemia re-admissions, gross splenomegaly and enlarged spleen increased risk by 1.73(1.23–2.44) and 1.46(1.18–1.82) respectively compared to no splenomegaly.\ud Clustering identified four groups of children with readmission rates from 14 to 20%. The cluster with the highest readmission rate was characterised by very low haemoglobin (mean 3.6 g/dL). Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) predominated in two clusters associated with chronic repeated admissions or severe, acute presentations in largely undiagnosed SCD. The final cluster had high rates of malaria (78%), severity signs and very low platelet count, consistent with acute severe\ud malaria.\ud Conclusions: Younger age, HIV infection and history of previous hospital admissions predicted increased risk of readmission. However, no obvious clinical factors for intervention were identified. As missing medication doses was highly predictive, attention to care related factors may be important.\ud Trial registration: ISRCTN ISRCTN84086586.\ud Keywords: Severe anaemia, Readmission
