  1. Multiple Imputation for Transmission Category and the Care Continuum Georgia, 2012

  2. Adults and adolescents living with HIV, Georgia, 2012 Adults and adolescents >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia = 46,495 Engaged in care >= 1 CD4 or VL in 2012 Retained in care >= 2 CD4 or VL at least 3 months apart in 2012 Prescribed ART derived from MMP sample Viral suppression (VS) = VL<200 copies/ml Estimated undiagnosed based on CDC projections for proportion undiagnosed nationally

  3. Transmission category definitions • MSM = Male to male sexual contact • IDU = Injection drug use • MSM/IDU = Male to male sexual contact and injection drug use • HET = Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection • Other = hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified

  4. Multiple Imputation • Multiple imputation (MI) methods are used to assign transmission categories to those persons whose diagnoses are reported without a risk factor • MI is a statistical approach in which missing transmission categories are replaced with plausible values • CDC uses MI for the national HIV dataset* • Georgia uses the same methodology as CDC *Harrison KM, Kajese T, Hall HI, Song R. Risk factor redistribution of the national HIV/AIDS surveillance data: an alternative approach. Public Health Rep 2008;123:618–27.

  5. More details on MI • MI draws a random sample of missing values • Then, MI replaces each missing value with a set of values according to the relationship with other variables • These multiply-imputed datasets are analyzed • Final estimates are made based on these results • MI is considered a sound approach and the best choice for large datasets* * Rubin DB. Multiple imputation for nonresponse in surveys. New York: John Wiley & Sons; 1987.

  6. Assumptions used in MI • The distribution of risk factors among cases initially submitted with no reported risk factor (NRR) does not change during the period used in calculating weights • Cases reclassified as NRR are representative of all NRR cases • The data are missing at random

  17. Conclusions • Overall, the Care Continuum varied little whether MI is or is not used in the Georgia 2012 estimates • Use of MI underestimates engagement, retention and viral suppression (VS) among MSM compared to analysis without MI in Georgia • This underestimation is greater in groups with a smaller N (e.g., Hispanic/Latino MSM by age) • Among males, MI overestimates engagement, retention and viral suppression by 1-2% points for IDU, HET and MSM/IDU males • Among females, MI overestimates engagement, retention and viral suppression by 0-4% points for both IDU and HET

  18. Limitations • Cannot assess the validity of assumptions made in MI • The pattern of risk factors has changed since the beginning of the epidemic • Cases missing risk may be fundamentally different from those for whom risk is reported. • Results for smaller subgroups may differ statistically with or without use of MI • Under- and overestimates found using MI in the Georgia 2012 prevalent population are not generalizable to new diagnoses or to future years’ analyses • Despite limitations, MI is considered by CDC to be the best currently available method to adjust for missing (not reported) risk factor information
