Abstract

Even though antiretroviral therapy (ART) access for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children increased dramatically, anaemia has continued as a challenge regardless of a cluster of differentiation (CD4) count and viral load. Hence, the present study aimed to assess the determinants of iron deficiency anaemia among children living with HIV after the initiation of ART. An institution-based unmatched case-control study was conducted among consecutively selected 712 children on HIV care from 1 September to 30 October 2022 in the Metekel zone. A pre-tested and structured data extraction checklist was used to collect the data. Data were analysed using STATA version 16 software. Binary logistic regression was used to find the association between independent variables and anaemia. The level of statistical significance was declared at a value of P < 0⋅05. A total of 712 HIV-positive children (178 cases and 534 controls) were included in this study, with a completeness rate of 98⋅8 %. In multivariable analysis, variables that have a statistically significant association with anaemia were as follows: CD4 count <350 (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 2⋅76; 95 % CI 1⋅76, 4⋅34), World Health Organization (WHO) clinical stage III (AOR 7⋅9; 95 % CI 3⋅5, 17⋅91) and stage IV (AOR 7⋅8; 95 % CI 3⋅37, 18⋅1), cotrimoxazole prophylaxis therapy (AOR 0⋅5; 95 % CI 0⋅31, 0⋅8) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) ≤11⋅5 mm (AOR 2⋅1; 95 % CI 1⋅34, 3⋅28). The present study found that CD4 count, WHO clinical stage, cotrimoxazole prophylaxis therapy and MUAC were significantly associated with anaemia in children on ART. Therefore, continuous screening of anaemia and nutritional treatment is essential in these patients.

埃塞俄比亚西北部选定卫生机构中接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的人类免疫缺陷病毒阳性儿童贫血的确定因素:一项病例对照研究。
尽管感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的儿童获得抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)的机会急剧增加,但贫血仍然是一个挑战,无论CD4计数和病毒载量如何。因此,本研究旨在评估ART启动后HIV感染儿童缺铁性贫血的决定因素。2022年9月1日至10月30日,在Metekel地区连续选择712名接受HIV护理的儿童进行了一项基于机构的非匹配病例对照研究。使用预先测试的结构化数据提取清单来收集数据。使用STATA版本16软件对数据进行分析。二元逻辑回归用于发现自变量与贫血之间的相关性。统计显著性水平为P<005。本研究共纳入712名HIV阳性儿童(178例和534名对照),完成率为98·8%。在多变量分析中,与贫血具有统计学意义的变量如下:CD4计数
