Inpatient Package to Reduce HIV and AIDS-related Death in Zambia

Zambia72 participantsStarted 2021-10-01

Plain-language summary

Early post-discharge mortality is high among HIV-infected Zambians admitted to the hospital. Likely this is in part due to missed opportunities to identify lethal coinfections and optimize HIV care during admission (and before discharge). In this study the investigators will develop and pilot a new approach to inpatient HIV care that follows international guidelines for management of advanced HIV disease.
