HIV epidemic and cascade of care in 12 east African rural fishing communities: results from a population-based survey in Uganda
(BMC Public Health, 2020)
Background: In East Africa, fishing communities are considered most-at-risk populations for the acquisition of HIV. We estimated HIV prevalence and assessed progress towards the UNAIDS 90–90-90 targets along the HIV treatment ...
A Causal Framework for Understanding the Effect of Losses to Follow-up on Epidemiologic Analyses in Clinic-based Cohorts: The Case of HIV-infected Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy in Africa
(American journal of epidemiology, 2012)
Although clinic-based cohorts are most representative of the ‘‘real world,’’ they are susceptible to loss to follow-up. Strategies for managing the impact of loss to follow-up are therefore needed to maximize the value of ...
D-dimer levels and traditional risk factors are associated with incident hypertension among HIV-infected individuals initiating antiretroviral therapy in Uganda
(Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes, 2016)
Objectives-We sought to describe blood pressure changes after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and evaluate the association of markers of inflammation with incident hypertension in a cohort of HIV-individuals in ...
High Mortality Associated with Unmasking Cryptococcal Meningitis
(Boston, 2018)
Introduction: Increased antiretroviral therapy (ART) availability in Africa has led to more patients developing cryptococcosis after ART initiation. Despite this changing epidemiology, data regarding cryptococcal meningitis ...
HIV-infected women on antiretroviral treatment in Uganda have increased mortality during pregnant and postpartum periods
(AIDS, 2013)
Objective: To assess the impact of pregnancy on mortality among HIV-infected Ugandan women initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: HIV-infected women initiating ART in the ...
Immunologic Pathways That Predict Mortality in HIV-Infected Ugandans Initiating Antiretroviral Therapy
(The Journal of infectious diseases, 2017)
The plasma kynurenine/tryptophan (KT) ratio, a marker of adaptive immune defects, strongly predicts mortality during treated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease in Ugandans as compared to US-based populations. Here, ...
Failure to Initiate Antiretroviral Therapy, Loss to Follow-up and Mortality Among HIV-Infected Patients During the Pre-ART Period in Uganda
(JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2013)
Background: Delays and failures in initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among treatment eligible patients may compromise the effectiveness of HIV care in Africa. An accurate understanding, however, of the pace and ...
A prospective ascertainment of cancer incidence in sub- Saharan Africa: The case of Kaposi sarcoma
(Cancer medicine, 2016)
In resource- limited areas, such as sub- Saharan Africa, problems in accurate cancer case ascertainment and enumeration of the at- risk population make it difficult to estimate cancer incidence. We took advantage of a large ...
