What Drives Mortality Among HIV Patients in a Conflict Setting?
Crellen et al. Conflict and Health (2019) 13:52 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13031-019-0236-7 RESEARCH Open Access What drives mortality among HIV patients in a conflict setting? A prospective cohort study in the Central African Republic Thomas Crellen1,2* , Charles Ssonko3,TuridPiening4, Marcel Mbeko Simaleko5, Karen Geiger1 and M. Ruby Siddiqui3 Abstract Background: Provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in conflict settings is rarely attempted and little is known about the expected patterns of mortality. The Central African Republic (CAR) continues to have a low coverage of ART despite an estimated 110,000 people living with HIV and 5000 AIDS-related deaths in 2018. We present results from a cohort in Zemio, Haut-Mboumou prefecture. This region had the highest prevalence of HIV nationally (14.8% in a 2010 survey), and was subject to repeated attacks by armed groups on civilians during the observed period. Methods: Conflict from armed groups can impact cohort mortality rates i) directly if HIV patients are victims of armed conflict, or ii) indirectly if population displacement or fear of movement reduces access to ART. Using monthly counts of civilian deaths, injuries and abductions, we estimated the impact of the conflict on patient mortality. We also determined patient-level risk factors for mortality and how the risk of mortality varies with time spent in the cohort. Model-fitting was performed in a Bayesian framework, using logistic regression with terms accounting for temporal autocorrelation. Results: Patients were recruited and observed in the HIV treatment program from October 2011 to May 2017. Overall 1631 patients were enrolled and 1628 were included in the analysis giving 48,430 person-months at risk and 145 deaths.

Central African Republic Last Update: 27 July 2004
Central African Republic Last update: 27 July 2004 The present context • The Central African Republic, 3 millions habitants is among the poorest countries in the world (67% of the population living under the poverty line). In 2003 GDP growth is estimated at no more than 1.3%.Foreign direct investment, net inflows in 7.7 M US dollars in 2001; aid per capita decreased, from 33.3 US dollars in 1998 to 20.2 US dollars in 2001. • Over the last 10 years, CAR has experienced at least four mutinies. In March 2003 General Francois Bozize took power and established a new government after a war which lasted almost six months. This war generated internal displaced people, destruction and looting of the public infrastructure. Armed groups are still harassing people all along the main roads and in the countryside looting their goods and even taking children as hostage against payment. The national consensus for holding peaceful general elections scheduled for January 2005 remains fragile as civil servants are irregularly paid. • There has been no response to a UN flash appeal, issued in May 2003, from international donors and CAR remains one of the least funded countries of the world as well as one of the least developed countries. The UN has described this situation as “the world’s most silent crisis.” Main public health issues and Concerns Health status • The deterioration of living conditions and notably the prolonged exposure to determinants of ill health has increased the vulnerability of the population to the most frequent diseases (diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections, parasitic diseases).
