About this study

Official title: Integrated Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus Type II Treatment and Care Among People Living With HIV/AIDS Attending Care and Treatment Center in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

This project was a facility-based program intervention for People Living with HIV (PLHIV) aged 18 years and above who attended a Care and Treatment Center (CTC) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Clients received preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services for Hypertension (HTN) and Type Two Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The primary health outcomes were all-cause mortality, disease-specific morbidity, HTN, and T2DM control rates. Secondary outcomes included access to care, retention in care adherence, and quality of care. Results obtained can be used to strengthen Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) care delivery in HIV/AIDS care in CTC in Tanzania.

Read the detailed description

A cohort of patients who were diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes was created and followed up for 6 months. Patients were required to attend clinics on a monthly basis. At the first visit short interview using the STEPwise approach of the STEPS surveillance tool for NCDs from the World Health Organization (WHO) was conducted. On subsequent visits, hypertension and blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels will be measured and adherence to medication were assessed. The patient registry was developed following recommendations from the HEARTS (Healthy lifestyle, Evidence-based protocols, Access to essential medicines and technology, Risk-based Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) management, Team-based care Guidance Systems for monitoring)technical package of WHO with some modifications if needed. A simple surveillance system was developed for all patients diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes so that there is continuous evaluation and monitoring of all patients attending NCDs care at the HIV clinic.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CHANGE IN BLOOD PRESSURE LEVEL (time frame: SIX MONTHS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
