Journal ArticleDOI

High rate of virological failure and low rate of switching to second-line treatment among adolescents and adults living with HIV on first-line ART in Myanmar, 2005-2015.

TL;DR: High rates of virological failure are found among one third of patients in the cohort who were tested for viral load, and routine viral load monitoring should be considered in this setting to detect all patients failing on first-line ART.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alarming prevalence and clustering of modifiable noncommunicable disease risk factors among adults in Bhutan: a nationwide cross-sectional community survey.

TL;DR: Lifestyle modifications at the population level are urgently required in Bhutan as several NCD risk factors such as high salt intake, unhealthy diet, overweight, and high blood pressure were alarmingly high and frequently clustered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low mother-to-child HIV transmission rate but high loss-to-follow-up among mothers and babies in Mandalay, Myanmar; a cohort study.

TL;DR: Lifelong ART provision to HIV-positive pregnant women was shown to reduce exposed babies’ LTFU, death and transmission rate (unfavorable outcomes) in this setting and Lessons learned from this program could be used to inform policy and practice in the country.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term outcomes of second-line antiretroviral treatment in an adult and adolescent cohort in Myanmar.

TL;DR: Long-term outcomes of patients on second-line ART were relatively good in this cohort, and the National HIV/AIDS Program should consider making routine viral load monitoring and third- line ART drugs available after a careful cost–benefit analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a tuberculosis active case finding project in peri-urban areas, Myanmar: 2014-2016.

TL;DR: The yield from a household and neigbourhood intervention and a community intervention on tuberculosis (TB) case notification was lower than community intervention, which highlights reconsidering the strategy of screening of contacts from historical index cases.
