Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality of patients lost to follow-up in antiretroviral treatment programmes in resource-limited settings: systematic review and meta-analysis
Martin W. G. Brinkhof,Mar Pujades-Rodriguez,Mar Pujades-Rodriguez,Matthias Egger,Matthias Egger +4 more
TL;DR: A substantial minority of adults lost to follow up cannot be traced, and among those traced 20% to 60% had died, which has implications both for patient care and the monitoring and evaluation of programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early loss of HIV-infected patients on potent antiretroviral therapy programmes in lower-income countries
Martin W. G. Brinkhof,François Dabis,Landon Myer,David R. Bangsberg,Andrew Boulle,Denis Nash,Mauro Schechter,Christian Laurent,Olivia Keiser,Margaret T May,Eduardo Sprinz,Matthias Egger,Xavier Anglaret +12 more
TL;DR: Early patient losses were increasingly common when programmes were scaled up and were associated with a fee for service and advanced immunodeficiency at baseline, and measures to maximize ART programme retention are required in resource-poor countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
What sets the odds of winning and losing
TL;DR: It is proposed here that two hypotheses are particularly important among the potential adaptive explanations: the 'social-cue hypothesis', which assumes that victory and defeat leave traces that affect the decisions of subsequent opponents; and the 'self-assessment hypothesis',Which assumes that winners and losers gain information about their own relative fighting ability in the population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender and the use of antiretroviral treatment in resource-constrained settings: Findings from a multicenter collaboration

TL;DR: Women in resource-constrained settings are not necessarily disadvantaged in their access to HAART, and more attention needs to be paid to ensuring that HIV-infected men are seeking care and starting HAART.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality of HIV-infected patients starting antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa: comparison with HIV-unrelated mortality.
Martin W. G. Brinkhof,Andrew Boulle,Ralf Weigel,Eugène Messou,Colin Mathers,Catherine Orrell,François Dabis,Margaret Pascoe,Matthias Egger +8 more
TL;DR: Comparing mortality rates between patients starting HIV treatment and the general population in four African countries, Matthias Egger and colleagues find the gap decreases over time, especially with early treatment.
