Combining Cohort Analysis and Monitoring of HIV Early-Warning Indicators of Drug Resistance to Assess Antiretroviral Therapy Services in Vietnam
2012
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) retention and 5 early-warning indicators (EWIs) of HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) were abstracted at 27 adult and 4 pediatric clinics in Vietnam in 2009. Of 4531 adults and 313 children 81.2% and 84.4% respectively were still on ART at 12 months. More than 90% of the clinics monitored achieved the World Health Organization (WHO) targets for lost-to-follow-up (LTFU) ART prescribing practices and ARV supply continuity. Only 83.9% of the clinics met the target for first-line ART retention and 79.3% met the target for clinic appointment-keeping. Clinic factors (i.e. number of patients administrative level and geographical region) were associated with ART retention and LFTU. Data were useful in guiding public health action to optimize ART services.
