Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is still an important public health issue globally and Antiretroviral therapy (ART), considered as a foundation for the disease care. Succeeding in viral load suppression is very important for successful ART treatment although other factors get involved in this. Objectives The present study is to determine the factors of negative outcome for ART (non- success) based on patient viral suppression in HIV/AIDS, Bekasi district Indonesia. Method: Secondary data from HIV/AIDS Information System (SIHA) at Bekasi District Health Office were extracted with cross-sectional study that involved from January 2023 to September 2024. Patients on ART (n=811). We analyzed data with STATA version 17, performed univariable and bivariable analyses to identify factors associated with viral load suppression Results: Viral load suppression (≤50 copies/ml) was achieved by most patients (87.3%). High adherence (PR Adjusted: 5.27; p=0.000), clinical severity stage (PRA:2.52; p=0.000) and use of TLD regimen (PR Adjusted: ); p= 0.001) were significant predictors of unsuppressed viral load. Suppression rates were better in patients with HIV-negative or unreported status partners (PR Adjusted: 0.78; p=0.004). Conclusion: ART success in Bekasi District is dependent on appointment adherence, clinical stage, ARV regimens and partner is on HIV post- treatment, particularly relevant for national and global HIV/AIDS control strategies in terms of increasing the adherence at same time early initiation of ART as well individualized ARV regimens.

Abstract

Purpose: Exacerbations in patients with COPD are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality because of the increased progression of COPD, which is getting worse due to frequent recurrences. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the incidence of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at the Bandung Community Lung Health Center (BCLHC). Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis of patient medical records for 2015-2020 with a retrospective cohort study design. The sample in this study amounted to 122 COPD patients who were taken using a purposive sampling technique. The variables studied were age, sex, employment status, marital status, and smoking history. The bivariate data analysis used the chi-square test, and the multivariate data analysis used the multiple Cox regression test with α = 0.05. Results: The results of the multivariate analysis showed an increased risk of exacerbations in the group with a history of smoking (RR = 7.6, 95% CI = 2.9-19.6) compared to the group with no history of tobacco and non-married status (RR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.1-3.4) compared with the currently married group. Conclusion: It is hoped that COPD sufferers can stop smoking to reduce the risk of exacerbations and the need for support from families for COPD sufferers who are not married.

Abstract

Non-adherence to scheduled antiretroviral (ARV) medication pickup can reduce treatment effectiveness, increase the risk of drug resistance, and contribute to poor HIV infection control. This study aimed to identify factors associated with missed ARV pickup appointments among people living with HIV/AIDS in Bekasi District. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from HIV/AIDS patients undergoing ARV therapy in 2023–2024. Data were analyzed descriptively (univariate), using Chi-square tests (bivariate), and log-binomial regression (multivariate). Among 811 patients, 341 (42%) were recorded as non-adherent to their medication pickup schedule. The results showed that having an unsuppressed viral load (>50 copies/ml) significantly increased the risk of non-adherence (PR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.74–2.86; p<0.001). Additionally, patients who had been on treatment for more than five years showed a higher tendency for non-adherence, although this was not statistically significant (PR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.91–1.49; p=0.214). These findings highlight the importance of regular viral load monitoring and sustained support for long-term ARV patients to improve adherence.
