Résumé

Little is known about isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) completion rates among children or adolescents compared to adults living with HIV in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis including children, adolescents, and adults living with HIV who were treated at FHI360 and partners-implemented HIV care programs at six health zones in Kinshasa, DRC, from 2004 to 2020. The primary outcome was the proportion of children, adolescents versus adults who did complete 6 months of daily self-administered IPT. Log-binomial regression assessed independent predictors of IPT non-completion and Kaplan-Meier technique for survival analysis. Of 11,691 eligible patients on ART who initiated IPT, 429 were children (<11 years), 804 adolescents (11-19 years), and 10,458 adults (≥20 years). The median age was 7 (IQR: 3-9) years for children, 15 (IQR: 13-17) years for adolescents, and 43 (35-51) years for adults. Among those who were initiated on IPT, 5625 out of 11,691 people living with HIV (PLHIV) had IPT completion outcome results, and an overall 3457/5625 (61.5%) completion rate was documented. Compared to adults, children and adolescents were less likely to complete IPT [104/199 (52.3%) and 268/525 (51.0%), respectively, vs. 3085/4901 (62.9%)]. After adjustment, the only independent predictors for IPT non-completion were health zone of residence and type of ART regimen. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed comparable poor survival among patients who completed IPT versus those who did not (p-value for log-rank test, 0.15). The overall sub-optimal IPT completion rate in adults as well as children/adolescents in this setting is of great concern. Prospective studies are needed to elucidate the specific barriers to IPT completion among children, adolescents, and adults in DRC as well as the scale-up of evidence-informed interventions to improve IPT completion, such as adoption of shorter TB preventive regimens.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Little is known about isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) completion rates among children or adolescents compared to adults living with HIV in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
METHODS METHODS
We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis including children, adolescents, and adults living with HIV who were treated at FHI360 and partners-implemented HIV care programs at six health zones in Kinshasa, DRC, from 2004 to 2020. The primary outcome was the proportion of children, adolescents versus adults who did complete 6 months of daily self-administered IPT. Log-binomial regression assessed independent predictors of IPT non-completion and Kaplan-Meier technique for survival analysis.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of 11,691 eligible patients on ART who initiated IPT, 429 were children (<11 years), 804 adolescents (11-19 years), and 10,458 adults (≥20 years). The median age was 7 (IQR: 3-9) years for children, 15 (IQR: 13-17) years for adolescents, and 43 (35-51) years for adults. Among those who were initiated on IPT, 5625 out of 11,691 people living with HIV (PLHIV) had IPT completion outcome results, and an overall 3457/5625 (61.5%) completion rate was documented. Compared to adults, children and adolescents were less likely to complete IPT [104/199 (52.3%) and 268/525 (51.0%), respectively, vs. 3085/4901 (62.9%)]. After adjustment, the only independent predictors for IPT non-completion were health zone of residence and type of ART regimen. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed comparable poor survival among patients who completed IPT versus those who did not (p-value for log-rank test, 0.15).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The overall sub-optimal IPT completion rate in adults as well as children/adolescents in this setting is of great concern. Prospective studies are needed to elucidate the specific barriers to IPT completion among children, adolescents, and adults in DRC as well as the scale-up of evidence-informed interventions to improve IPT completion, such as adoption of shorter TB preventive regimens.
