Outline
• Brief overview: where the data comes from and how the feedback reports are generated
• How is patient-level data useful for clinical, programmatic, and SI purposes?
• How to read and use the patient-level feedback reports• Examples of use of patient-level data for epidemiologic
research

ICAP’s patient-level reports provide one tool to critically evaluate program performance
Country-level reports• Regular data dissemination meetings• Identification of problematic areas and/or sites• Identification of high-performing sites• Tracking trends in program achievement over time
Site-level reports• Preparation for site visits by M&E, clinical, and
program staff• Data Quality Assurance• Trends in enrollment and active patient population
Patient-level reports are complementary to other information collected for reporting
• What proportion of patients are initiating ART at advanced disease stage? Does this differ between sites?
• Does most LTF occur before or after ART initiation?
• Does the proportion of total program attrition attributable to LTF or recorded death differ substantially between sites?
• What proportion of patients are missing records of both CD4+ cell count and WHO staging at enrollment and ART initiation? Does this differ between sites?
Country-level reports
• Adult Country Report
• Pediatric Country Report
• Country-level SOC Report
Country-level Adult and Pediatric reports: Layout
• Summary paragraph
• Listing of sites (name and URS ID) contributing to the report
• Key characteristics of active patients, by gender
• Trends in number of active patients over time and % on ART
• Age and gender distribution at enrollment
• Between-site comparisons of enrollment characteristics
• CD4, WHO Stage, ART eligibility, cotrimoxazole provision, tuberculosis treatment
• Between-site comparisons of ART initiation characteristics
• CD4, WHO Stage, advanced disease at initiation, regimen characteristics
• Patient outcomes after enrollment into HIV care and ART initiation
• Recorded Death, LTF, attrition, combined and between-site comparisons

Country Reports: Summary
• Provides a useful snapshot summarizing key characteristics of the patient population enrolling into HIV care and initiating ART
• Enables a quick means of comparing key characteristics across sites within the same country
• Regional reports can also be generated
• Very useful for ICAP-NY and in-country clinical, SI, and programmatic staff to assess overall characteristics and differences between sites
• More detail on specific sites can be found in the site-level reports…
Site Reports
• Provide in-depth, site-specific summaries
• Useful in preparation for site visits, and to delve deeper into issues identified from the country reports
Site Reports: Layout similar to Country Report
• Summary paragraph• Trends in new patient enrollment over time
and % on ART• Key characteristics of active patients, total
and separated by adult/pediatric• Enrollment characteristics
• Point of entry, age and gender distribution, CD4, WHO Stage, ART eligibility, cotrimoxazole provision, tuberculosis treatment, anthropometric measures
• ART initiation characteristics• CD4, WHO Stage, advanced disease
at initiation, regimen characteristics• Patient outcomes after enrollment into HIV
care and ART initiation• Outcomes before and after ART
initiation• Survival curves
Site Reports: new patient enrollment over time shows impact of decentralization
Site Reports: Immunologic characteristics at enrollment
Site Reports: Patient retention
Site Reports: Summary
• Gives in-depth detail on characteristics of patients attending a given site, focusing on characteristics at enrollment into HIV care, ART initiation, and retention after these benchmarks
• Useful for site visit preparation to identify issues for focused supportive supervision
ICAP Standards of Care (SOC) Reports
• Calculates ICAP Priority Indicators of HIV care and other Standards of Care from the electronic patient-level databases
• Intended to provide information on the quality of HIV care and changes over time
• Available as an overall country SOC report and for each site reporting data
Most recent quarter
ICAP Standards of Care (SOC) Reports: Priority Indicators
ICAP Standards of Care (SOC) Reports: Pre-ART Standards of Care
ICAP Standards of Care (SOC) Reports: ART Standards of Care
ICAP Standards of Care (SOC) Reports: Notes on the Indicators
SOC Reports: Summary
• Allows us to track progress towards achievement of ICAP Standards of Care over time, and to look more deeply into issues affecting the quality of HIV care
• Many SOCs are calculated, such as:• Proportion with CD4 within 1 month of enrollment• Proportion eligible receiving CTX• Proportion initiating ART within 1 month of eligibility• Proportion with CD4 in the last 6 months• And more
• Useful in combination with Standards of Care calculated through sampling of clinical records• Comparing results between these will allow us to assess
the quality of the electronic patient-level database
We welcome suggestions for corrections, edits, and additions!
• These reports have evolved over time based on feedback from users
• If you see something that doesn’t seem right, please let us know and we can investigate
• Also, future ideas for enhancements are in the works• HIV care cascade• Changes to ART eligibility as countries adopt new
guidelines• Others?
