Incidence of mortality and its predictors among HIV-infected children receiving antiretroviral therapy in Amhara region: a multicenter retrospective follow-up study
In this study, the mortality rate was high after the test-and-treat strategy. HIV-infected children presenting with OIs, advanced disease staging, and wasting were at higher risk of mortality. Therefore, to increase the survival rate for HIV-positive children, clinicians should place a strong emphasis on early screening, controlling OIs, and optimizing nutritional supplements.
