BACKGROUND: Loss to follow-up (LTFU) among paediatric patients living with HIV
presents a significant challenge to the global scale-up of life-saving
antiretroviral therapy (ART). OBJECTIVES: This study aims to estimate LTFU
incidence and its determinants among children with HIV on ART in Shashemene town
public health institutions, Oromia, Ethiopia. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort
study from 1 January 2015 to 30 December 2020. SETTING: This study was conducted
in Shashemene town, Oromia, Ethiopia. PARTICIPANTS: Medical records of 269
children receiving ART at health facilities in Shashemene town were included.
METHODS: Data from patients' medical records were collected using a standardised
checklist. EpiData V.3.1 was employed for data entry, while Statistical Package
for the Social Sciences (SPSS) V.25 facilitated analysis. The Kaplan-Meier
survival curve was used for estimation of survival time. To measure association,
adjusted HRs (AHRs) with 95% CIs were calculated. Both bivariable and
multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to
identify predictors of LTFU. RESULTS: Of the 269 children living with HIV
included in the final analysis, 43 (16%) were lost to follow-up. The overall
incidence rate of LTFU was 3.3 (95% CI 2.4 to 4.4) per 100 child-years of
observation. Age less than 5 years (AHR 0.03, 95%?CI 0.00 to 0.36), non-orphan
status of the child (AHR 0.13, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.34), < 30?min distance to health
facility (AHR 0.24, 95%?CI 0.08 to 0.73), disclosed HIV status (AHR 0. 32, 95%?CI
0.13 to 0.80), history of opportunistic infection (AHR 3.54, 95% CI 1.15 to
10.87) and low CD4 count (AHR 5.17, 95% CI 2.08 to 12.85) were significant
predictors of LTFU. CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of LTFU was lower compared
with other studies in Ethiopia. This result indicated that age less than 5 years,
non-orphans, low CD4, disclosed HIV status and distance from health facility were
predictors of LTFU.
