Determinants of survival of human immune deficiency virus infected children after commencing anti-retroviral therapy in Kembata-Tembaro zone: A facility-based retrospective cohort study
Background
HIV infection is one of the most significant challenges to global health faced by care providers. On the other hand, malnutrition is prevalent in developing countries; it remains a serious problem among HIV-positive children even with the provision of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART).
Objective
To explore determinants of survival of human immune deficiency virus-infected children after commencing Anti-Retroviral Therapy in Kembata-Tembaro Zone, Southern Ethiopia, 2022.
Methods
A facility-based retrospective cohort study was employed among 305 HIV-infected children on ART from May 5-June 4/2022 at public hospitals in Kembata-tembaro zone. The data were collected by using a checklist. Data were entered and cleaned using Epi info 3.5.3 and analysed using SPSS version 25.0 software. The cumulative survival time after initiation of ART was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. A Multivariable Cox proportional model was fitted to identify factors affecting survival after initiation of ART and variables having P value≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant predictors of mortality.
Results
Overall, 43(14.1 %) died with an overall survival rate of 3.3 per 1000 child-months of observation. Undernourished children had a lower survival time than well-nourished children with mean survival time of 92.7 and 62.3 months respectively. Children with advanced WHO clinical stage III or IV (AHR: 6.1; 95 %CI: 1.4, 26.7), severe wasting at the baseline (AHR: 8.7; 95 %CI: 3.2, 23.6), high viral load level (AHR: 3.5; 95 %CI: 0.15, 0.61) and fair/poor adherence to ART (AHR: 3.7; 95 %CI: 2.3, 13.5) were significantly associated with survival of HIV-positive children in this study.
Conclusion
a significant difference in survival time was observed between undernourished and well-nourished children with a high rate of mortality. Severe wasting, WHO clinical stage III or IV, high viral load level and fair/poor adherence were identified as the determinants of survival.
