  2. 18-month pediatric mortality and loss to follow-up in IeDEA • Background: • Updated information on mortality and loss to follow-up (LTFU) on ART are needed • Hypotheses: 1) high mortality among children LTFU and 2) higher LTFU with rapid ART scale-up • Requires large data sets, well-suited for multi-regional analysis • Objective: To study 18-month mortality and LTFU rates after ART initiation, and baseline patient and programmatic determinants in a multiregional analysis

  3. Methods (1) • IeDEA is a global collaboration of HIV treatment cohorts • Eligible study sites: IeDEA pediatric clinical centres • Africa (4), Asia-Pacific (1), Central/South America (1) • Standardized data collection • Inclusion criteria: • Positive PCR <18 mo or EIA ≥18 mo • Age: 0 to 15 years at HAART initiation • ARV-naive • Except for exposure to perinatal PMTCT prophylaxis • Starting HAART (≥3 ARV drugs)

  4. Methods (2) • Baseline: date of HAART initiation • Outcomes • Mortality • LTFU: >6 months since the last visit • Statistical analysis • 6-, 12-, and 18-month Kaplan-Meier probabilities • Cox model analysis of baseline determinants stratified by region • Programmatic and patient variables

  5. Sites characteristics by region *between-region heterogeneity p <0.01

  6. Baseline characteristics at HAART initiation by region *between-region heterogeneity p <0.01

  7. Mortality and LTFU at 18 months by region *>6 months since last visit **between-region heterogeneity p <0.01

  8. 18-month Kaplan-Meier probability of death

  9. Correlates of 18-month mortality, adjusted analysis

  10. 18-month Kaplan-Meier probability of LTFU

  11. Correlates of 18-month LTFU, adjusted analysis

  12. Programmatic correlates of 18-month LTFU, adjusted analysis

  13. Methodologic challenges • Multiple sources of heterogeneity • Operational definition of LTFU • Variability by site in patient tracking system and access to free services • Informative censoring • Missing data was not uncommon for the outcomes and predictors • The impact varied by outcome • Demonstrates need to ascertain outcomes of those LTFU

  14. Conclusions • The 18-month risks of death and LTFU differed substantially across regions • Reflects impact of delayed HAART and importance of retention • Recent initiation of HAART and increased cohort size were associated with higher LTFU • Overload of health facilities • Requiring patients to pay for care is associated with LTFU • Need to advocate for free access to all HIV services for children • Innovative and feasible approaches to retain children in ART programs are urgently required
