Plans for Analysis of USG Emergency Plan Multi-Country ART Program John Aberle-Grasse CDC, Global AIDS Program U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Analysis Proposal • Analyze the “quantity” and “quality” of HIV care and treatment programs supported by the USG multi-country partners across the 15 Emergency Plan focus countries • Publish “simple” description of results in a prominent medical or public health journal, submitted in approximately 9-12 months
Analysis Rationale • The Emergency Plan ART program is very large and complex and should be monitored and evaluated to assess progress both in scale-up and service quality • Program success (and challenges) should be published to inform the medical and scientific community and the US public that supports the program
Analysis Rationale • Track 1.0 grantees (4) and the Department of Defense and Family Health International provide direct ART services across multiple countries to over 1/3 of patients in the Emergency Plan • This large (relatively) standardized ART program data and reporting represents a unique and significant opportunity to describe the extent and quality of HIV care and treatment being supported by the USG
Proposed Title and Authorship • Working title- Scale up of Antiretroviral therapy by Emergency Plan Multi-country partners: 2004-2007 • Authorship- Emergency Plan Multi-country ART Partner and Agency Group
Analysis • Based on recommendations by the US Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator Adult Treatment Technical Workgroup for description of USG-funded HIV care and treatment programs • Describe services provided between Track 1.0 program start up in 2004 through Sept 30, 2007
Analysis • Quantity of Program (scale up) Calculate quarterly- FY04Q4 to FY07Q4 • Patients ever enrolled in HIV care • Patients currently in HIV care • Patients ever started on ART • Patients started on ART during quarter • Patients currently on ART • Facilities providing ART
Analysis • Quality of Program- (cohort) • Proportion alive and on ART (6, 12, 24 mos) • Including transfer in, excluding transfer out • Median difference in CD4 from start • Proportion with undetectable viral load (<400 cells/µl) • Proportion started on 2nd line ART • Proportion not on ART (6, 12, 24 mos) • Died • Stopped • Lost to follow up • Of those enrolled in HIV care, proportion on care at 12 months
Administration of analysis • Task Force to guide and move analysis • Include participants from USG agencies and grantee partner groups • Contact John Aberle-Grasse at this meeting, or phone, or email • The USG work group includes: • CDC GAP: Tedd Ellerbrock, Laura Porter, Seymour Williams, Hong-Ha Truong, John Aberle-Grasse • USAID: Robert Ferris • HRSA: Jin Park • DoD: To be determined
Thoughts for Discussion • Do partners support this proposal? • Have quarterly data from Track 1.0 partners, is data for DoD and FHI readily available? • What disaggregation? (sex, age, country, partner, facility type) • How best do we “simplify” and present multi-country, multi-partner “quality” analysis? • Additional analysis of more detailed issues and data subsets • Other thoughts?
