Incidence and predictors of non-communicable diseases among people with HIV at a specialised hospital in Hawassa, Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The improved life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) has increased the co-occurrence of HIV and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of NCDs among PLWH aged >17 years at a specialised hospital in Hawassa. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted from August to December 2023. Eligible PLWH who had been in follow-up from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2023 were included in the study. Data were collected from medical records using a standardised checklist via the Kobo toolbox. SPSS V.26.0 was used for data analysis. The Kaplan-Meier plot was used to estimate the NCD-free survival time and compare NCD-free survival times. Cox proportional hazards model was fitted to identify the predictors of NCDs. The adjusted HR (AHR), p value<0.05 and 95% CI were used to report the relationships between variables. Results: A total of 3596 participants were followed for 33 559 person-years. The incidence rate of NCDs among the study participants was 4.4 per 1000 person-years. PLWH aged 40 years or more had an increased risk of developing NCDs (AHR=1.7; 95% CI: 1.1 to 2.6). Those with a family size of <4 (AHR=1.8; 95% CI: 1.2 to 2.7), a body mass index (BMI) >25 (AHR=1.8; 95% CI: 1.2 to 2.7), with college or more education (AHR=2.0; 95% CI: 1.1 to 3.9), employed (AHR=2.1; 95% CI: 1.2 to 3.6) and poor antiretroviral therapy adherence (AHR=3.5; 95% CI: 2.1 to 5.7) also had an increased risk of NCDs. Conclusion: Compared with other reports, the incidence of NCDs among PLWH in this study was low. Factors such as age, family size, occupational status, BMI and ART adherence predicted the incidence of NCDs. Targeted health education and screening could help minimise the burden associated with NCDs among PLWH.
