Assessing the effectiveness of the ART programme in the Western Cape Province of South Africa through triangulation of context-appropriate population level routine monitoring and s... by Osler, Margaret

“…Two analyses used a regression discontinuity design to consider the causal impact of guideline changes, while the last two analyses explored important longer-duration determinants of morbidity and mortality in a survival analysis cohort framework, including through the use of flexible parametric survival models. Results Developing a tiered suite of interoperable information solutions enabled each health facility to independently evolve from paper to offline and then hybrid/online electronic registers when dependencies such as electricity, stable networks and resources allowed them to. …”
