The cohorts studied have also been from varied cultures, including East Africa, Malawi, India, Thailand, and Brazil.…”

“…Prior research concerning orphan status and its association with cART nonadherence has been inconsistent [33,36,37]. In a recent study in Uganda, orphans were more likely to initiate cART at an older age than non-orphans [38]. There is a need to better understand the relationship between pediatric cART adherence and the complex context of the death of one or both parents, and target those at risk for nonadherence so as to ensure timely cART access.…”

“…Dans la plupart des études, la proportion cumulée de décès variait entre 6 % et 10 %. Les plus faibles proportions de décès ont été rapportées en Tanzanie (0 %) [18] et en Ouganda (2,3 %) [19].
