Follow-up is integral for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) care to ensure surveillance and intervention for complications. We characterized the incidence of and predictors for being lost to follow-up. Two-year survivors of first allogeneic HCT (10,367 adults and 3865 children) or autologous HCT (7291 adults and 467 children) for malignant/nonmalignant disorders between 2002 and 2013 reported to the Center for International Blood and ...

Methods Observational cohort study of all pregnant women 18years (N=300) testing HIV positive for the first time at their first ANC visit between January and June 2010, at a primary healthcare clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. Women (n=27) ...

Initiating antiretroviral therapy when presenting with higher CD4 cell counts results in reduced loss to follow-up in a resource-limited setting Universiteit Antwerpen

Kate Clouse, Audrey Pettifor, Mhairi Maskew, Jean Bassett, Annelies Van Rie, Cynthia Gay, Frieda Behets, Ian Sanne, Matthew P. Fox
Objective: In August 2011, South Africa expanded its adult antiretroviral therapy (ART) guidelines to allow treatment initiation at CD4 cell values 350 cells/mu l or less. Mortality and morbidity are known to be reduced when initiating at higher CD4 levels; we explored the impact on patient loss to follow-up. Design: An observational cohort study. Methods: We analyzed routine data of 1430 adult patients initiating ART from April to December 2010 ...

BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-infected sex workers is an important HIV prevention strategy. However, sex workers may have additional challenges for retention in ART care. The objectives of this study were to assess retention of sex workers on ART in a routine setting in Ivory Coast and identify risk factors for loss to follow-up (LTFU).

METHODS: The design was a retrospective cohort study. An analysis of clinic ...

Cochlear implantation in single-sided deafness and asymmetric hearing loss : 12 months follow-up results of a European multicenter evaluation Universiteit Gent KU Leuven

Thomas Wesarg, Antje Aschendorff, Regina Baumgaertel, Julia Böttcher, Liesbeth De Coninck, Ingeborg Dhooge, Ann Dierckx, Thomas Klenzner, Philipp Schörg, Georg Sprinzl, et al.
BACKGROUND: People with single-sided deafness (SSD) or asymmetric hearing loss (AHL) have particular difficulty understanding speech in noisy listening situations and in sound localization. The objective of this multicenter study is to evaluate the effect of a cochlear implant (CI) in adults with single-sided deafness (SSD) or asymmetric hearing loss (AHL), particularly regarding sound localization and speech intelligibility with additional ...
