Risk factors for early mortality among HIV-positive adults on antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopian health facilities.

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
The rapid expansion of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Ethiopia has significantly reduced AIDS-related deaths; however, survival rates among people living with HIV (PLHIV) on ART remain variable, and findings on predictors of early mortality are inconsistent. This study aimed to identify factors associated with early mortality among ART users in the Woliso district of Ethiopia. A historical cohort study was conducted among 720 randomly selected ART users from January 2018 to December 2022. Data were collected using Open Data Kit (ODK) and analyzed with STATA 13. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were employed to assess predictors of mortality. The mortality incidence density was 5.1 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 4.01-6.50). Significant predictors of early mortality included being divorced (AHR: 6.34; 95% CI: 2.05-19.65), advanced WHO clinical stage III/IV (AHR: 2.92; 95% CI: 1.12-8.27), and suboptimal ART adherence-fair (AHR: 5.48; 95% CI: 2.37-12.66) and poor (AHR: 3.50; 95% CI: 1.72-7.09). This study highlights a high early mortality rate, emphasizing the need for early HIV care enrollment and strict treatment adherence to improve survival. Strengthening ART programs with targeted interventions for high-risk groups, such as divorced individuals and those with advanced disease, could further reduce mortality in Ethiopia.
