Abstract Background: Identifying determinant factors of antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment failure are crucial to achieving 90-90-90 treatment target to help end AIDS epidemic by 2020. However, evidences on determinants of first line ART failure in Ethiopia are limited. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess determinants of first line ART failure among patients attending ART care in selected Public Hospitals Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods: A case control study was conducted in March 2018 on sample of 384(288 controls and 96 cases) adult people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). All available cases were enrolled in the study whereas controls were selected using simple random sampling. Cases were HIV patients aged 15 years or older who were on first line ART regimen with documented treatment failure (virologic, immunologic or clinical). Controls were HIV patients aged 15 years or older who were on first line ART regimen but without evidence of therapeutic failure. Data was extracted from electronic database and supplemented by data collected through interviewer administered questionnaire. Bivariate and Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence interval were used to report independently associated factors with the first line ART failure at P-value<0.05. Results: Median ages of cases and controls were 28 (IQR 25-32) and 27 (IQR23-33), respectively. Being urban resident (AOR:2.2; 95%CI: 1.1, 3.6), smoking (AOR:5.9; 95%CI:3.2, 10.8), Khat use (AOR:2.2; 95%CI:1.3,3.7), poor treatment adherence (AOR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.1,4.5), tuberculosis coinfection (AOR: 3.9; 95% CI:2.2, 6.8), prior exposure to ART (AOR: 3.8; 95% CI:1.7, 8.1), zidovudine based regimen (AOR: 4.8; 95% CI: 2.5,9.0) and median duration on treatment of more than 73 months (AOR:1.9; 95% CI:1.2, 3.3) were independently associated with first line treatment failure. Conclusions: Multiple factors such as being urban resident, TB co-infection, poor treatment adherence, and zidovudine based regiment were independently associated with first line ART failure. Thus, strategies designed to curb the HIV pandemic should focus on these factors, among others, to achieve the ambitious target of ending AIDS pandemic by 2020 set by UNAIDS.

Abstract Background: Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) has substantially declined morbidity and mortality related to Human immunodeficiency virus/Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Despite this fact, first-line ART failure has emerged as a growing concern. However, factors associated with first-line ART failure are not well empathized and studied. Hence, we aimed to identify the determinants of first-line ART failure among patients attending ART in Public Hospitals Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in March 2018 on a sample of 384(288 controls and 96 cases) adult people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Cases were HIV patients aged 15 years or older who were on first-line ART regimens with documented therapeutic failure. Controls were HIV patients aged 15 years or older who were on first-line ART regimen but without evidence of therapeutic failure. Data were extracted from electronic databases and supplemented by data collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to report independently associated factors at P-value<0.05. Results: In this study, higher odds of first-line ART failure was experinced among urban residents (AOR:2.2;95%CI: 1.1, 3.6), smokers (AOR:5.9; 95%CI:3.2, 10.8), Khat users (AOR:2.2; 95%CI:1.3,3.7), poor treatment adherents (AOR:2.2; 95%CI: 1.1,4.5), tuberculosis coinfection (AOR:3.9; 95%CI:2.2, 6.8), prior exposure to ART (AOR:3.8; 95%CI:1.7, 8.1), zidovudine based regimen (AOR:4.8; 95%CI: 2.5,9.0) and longer duration on ART more than 73 months (AOR:1.9; 95%CI:1.2, 3.3). Conclusions: This study evidenced that being an urban resident, TB co-infection, poor treatment adherence, and zidovudine-based regiment were positively and independently associated with first-line ART failure. Thus, enhanced adherence counseling should be provided for those urban residents as well as substance users to improve adherence to ART; early screening and management of tuberculosis is highly recommended. Moreover, close follow up of adverse effects of ARVs must be strengthened. Keywords : determinants, first-line ART failure, HIV/AIDS, Jimma Zone, Public hospitals

Abstract Background In 2018 in Ethiopia, magnitude of human immunodeficiency virus Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome treatment failure was 15.9% and currently the number of patient receiving second line antiretroviral therapy (ART) is more increasing than those taking first line ART. Little is known about the predictors of treatment failure in the study area. Therefore; more factors that can be risk for first line ART failure have to identified to make the patients stay on first line ART for long times. Consequently, the aim of this study was to identify determinants of first line ART treatment failure among patients on ART at St. Luke referral hospital and Tulubolo General Hospital, 2019. Methods A 1:2 un-matched case-control study was conducted among adult patients on active follow up. One new group variables was formed as group 1 for cases and group 0 for controls and then data was entered in to Epi data version 3 and exported to STATA SE version 14 for analysis. From binary logistic regression variables with p value ≤0.25 were a candidate for multiple logistic regression. At the end variables with a p-value ≤0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Result A total of 350 (117 cases and 233 controls) patients were participated in the study. Starting ART after 2 years of being confirmed HIV positive (AOR = 3.82 95% CI 1.37,10.6), nevirapine (NVP) based initial ART (AOR = 2.77,95%CI 1.22,6.28) having history of lost to follow up (AOR 3.66,95%CI 1.44,9.27) and base line opportunistic infection (AOR = 1.97,95%CI 1.06,3.63), staying on first line ART for greater than 5 years (AOR = 3.42,95%CI 1.63,7.19) and CD4 less than100cell/ul (AOR = 2.72,95%CI 1.46,5.07) were independent determinants of first line ART treatment failure. Conclusion Lost to follow up, staying on first line ART for greater than 5 years, presence of opportunistic infections, NVP based NNRT, late initiation of ART are determinant factors for first line ART treatment failure. The concerned bodies have to focus and act on those identified factors to maintain the patient on first line ART.

Background: Around 15 million babies are born prematurely in the world every year. The most common cause of neonatal death in Ethiopia is premature birth. To reduce the rate of preterm delivery by correcting modifiable or preventable causes, the availability of local data is important. Hence, this study aimed to identify the determinants of preterm birth among women who gave birth in public hospitals in central Ethiopia. Methods: An Institutional-based unmatched case-control study was conducted at public hospitals in central Ethiopia to select 170 cases and 340 controls. The collected data were entered into EPI INFO and transferred to SPSS for analysis. Tables, graphs, and proportions were used to present the results. Binary and multiple logistic regressions analysis were computed to identify determinants of preterm birth. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR), 95% Confidence Interval (CI), and a p-value < 0.05 were computed to determine the presence of an association between preterm birth and independent variables. Results: A total of 166 cases and 332 controls participated in the study, giving a response rate of 97.6%. Cigarette smoking (AOR=3.77, 95% CI=1.35,10.56), alcohol consumption (AOR=1.85, 95% CI=1.11,3.10), wanted but unplanned pregnancy (AOR=3,95% CI=1.68,5.34), neither wanted nor planned pregnancy(AOR=3.61% CI=1.62,8.06), lack of antenatal care (ANC) visits (AOR=4.13, 95% CI=1.95, 8.74), adverse birth outcomes (AOR=5.66, 95% CI=2.88,11.12), presence of a diagnosed illness (AOR=2.81, 95% CI=1.37, 5.76), presence of one or more of obstetrics complications(AOR=6.44, 95% CI=5.49, 3.35, 9), and hemoglobin level < 11g/dl  (AOR=2.78, 95% CI=1.48, 5.22) were determinants of preterm birth. Conclusion:-In this study, cigarette smoking status, alcohol drinking status, pregnancy status, adverse birth outcomes, ANC visits, obstetric complications,  presence of medical illness, and anemia were identified as determinants of preterm birth. It is important to encourage such women to attend ANC visits, stop smoking, and abstain from alcohol.
