Prevalence of non-infectious comorbidities in the HIV-positive population in Belgium: a multicenter, retrospective study
Summary Objectives In Belgium, eleven AIDS Reference Centers (ARCs) and seven AIDS Reference Laboratories diagnose and treat HIV-positive individuals and track patients under care. As AIDS-related deaths are avoided and the HIV-positive population ages, non-infectious comorbidities (NICMs), such as cardiovascular disease, renal disease and certain cancers, play a larger role in the quality and length […]

Urgent action to fight hepatitis C in people who inject drugs in Europe
Summary Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, is curable in most people. Injecting drug use currently accounts for 80 % of new HCV infections with a known transmission route in the European Union (EU). HCV has generally received little attention from the public or policymakers in […]

Prevalence and burden of HCV co-infection in people living with HIV: a global systematic review and meta-analysis
Summary Background At global level, there are 37 million people infected with HIV and 115 million people with antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV). Little is known about the extent of HIV–HCV co-infection. We sought to characterise the epidemiology and burden of HCV co-infection in people living with HIV. Methods In this systematic review and […]

Global, regional, and national incidence and mortality for HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria during 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013
Summary Emerging data indicate that all-oral antiviral treatments for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) will become a reality in the near future. In replacing interferon-based therapies, all-oral regimens are expected to be more tolerable, more effective, shorter in duration and simpler to administer. Coinciding with new treatment options are novel methodologies for disease screening and […]

Hepatitis C medicines and diagnostics in the context of HIV/HCV co-infection: A scoping report
Summary The UNITAID 2013-2016 Strategy includes the treatment of HIV/AIDS and co-infections as one of six strategic objectives. This scoping report focuses on issues, challenges and opportunities related to one of the most important HIV co-infections—Hepatitis C virus (HCV)—and represents UNITAID’s first effort to gather market intelligence on products for the diagnosis and treatment of […]

Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010
Summary Background Non-fatal health outcomes from diseases and injuries are a crucial consideration in the promotion and monitoring of individual and population health. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies done in 1990 and 2000 have been the only studies to quantify non-fatal health outcomes across an exhaustive set of disorders at the global and […]

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010
Summary Background Measuring disease and injury burden in populations requires a composite metric that captures both premature mortality and the prevalence and severity of ill-health. The 1990 Global Burden of Disease study proposed disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to measure disease burden. No comprehensive update of disease burden worldwide incorporating a systematic reassessment of disease and […]
