Global HIV mortality trends among children on antiretroviral treatment corrected for under‐reported deaths: an updated analysis of the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS collaboration

Abstract

Mortality rates among CHIV have decreased substantially over time. However, when accounting for worse outcomes among those LTFU, mortality estimates increased and temporal improvements were slightly reduced, suggesting caution in interpreting analyses based only on programme data. The improved and updated IeDEA estimates on mortality among CHIV on ART support UNAIDS efforts to accurately model global HIV statistics.
