HIV/AIDS Clinical Trial

Official title:
Re-engagement at Discharge 2: Improving Post-hospital Outcomes for Adults With HIV in Zambia

Clinical Trial Summary

Early post-discharge mortality is high among Zambians living with HIV admitted to the hospital. This may be due to missed opportunities in post-discharge care, such as inadequate follow-up and treatment. In this study the investigators will develop and pilot a new approach to post-discharge HIV care to improve care coordination and treatment adherence.

Clinical Trial Description

Many people living with HIV (PLHIV) have poor outcomes following hospitalization, including high mortality, readmission, and gaps in HIV care engagement. This is likely multi-factorial and not all etiologies may be modifiable. While high mortality may due to incurable cancer, the majority of deaths in PLHIV are thought to be caused by infectious diseases for which treatments exist. However, succumbing to these life-threatening infections after discharge may be due to poor understanding of discharge instructions, lack of post hospital care, and poor understanding of required follow up. Psychosocial support also plays a role in the mental and physical health of these sick patients. In ReCharge 1, the investigators gathered formative data and identified at least three major factors that undermine HIV clinical outcomes after hospital discharge. First, there are gaps in continuity of care between the discharging facility and outpatient. Second, support from family is often suboptimal due to lack of understanding on the cause of illness, lack of HIV status disclosure, and the cost of care. Third, HIV comorbidities may underpin or complicate the immediate reason for discharge or the post-discharge engagement in care. These data were disseminated to local experts in Zambia including from the Ministry of Health and used to create a new care model for post-discharge HIV care. The care model draws from other successful programs in Zambia. In ReCharge 2 the investigators now propose to pilot the program and assess feasibility, acceptability, and potential for clinical impact. ;
