Lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) improves health outcomes for HIV‐positive individuals, but is jeopardized by irregular clinic attendance and hence poor adherence. Loss to follow‐up (LTFU) is typically defined retrospectively but this may lead to biased inferences. We assessed incidence of and factors associated with LTFU, prospectively and accounting for recurrent LTFU episodes, in the Kilombero and Ulanga Antiretroviral Cohort (KIULARCO) of HIV‐positive persons in rural Tanzania.

失访的前瞻性评估：坦桑尼亚农村艾滋病毒阳性成年人队列的发病率和相关因素

终生抗逆转录病毒疗法 (ART) 可改善 HIV 阳性个体的健康结果，但因不规律的门诊就诊和依从性差而受到危害。失访 (LTFU) 通常是回顾性定义的，但这可能会导致有偏见的推论。我们在坦桑尼亚农村 HIV 阳性者的 Kilombero 和 Ulanga 抗逆转录病毒队列 (KIULARCO) 中前瞻性地评估了 LTFU 的发生率和相关因素，并考虑了复发性 LTFU 发作。
