Cryptococcal Meningitis in Uganda: Morbidity, Mortality, and Construction of a Prognosis Predictive Model
REFNo: HS8665ES

3. Design and validate a prognosis predictive model for all-cause mortality during hospitalization with cryptococcal meningitis among patients living with HIV, using patient data from 2 hospitals in Uganda (IDI and LRRH) between January 2015 and December 2025.,2. Estimate the risk of CM mortality and morbidity associated with a single-dose Liposomal Amphotericin B induction treatment, compared to other treatments (Deoxycholate-Amphotericin, Liposomal-Amphotericin, and Flucytosine-Fluconazole), in two Ugandan hospitals between January 2015 and December 2025.,1. Estimate the rate of CM morbidity and mortality associated with different CM induction treatment regimens, and identify factors associated with the rate of all-cause mortality among people living with HIV who were hospitalized for CM in two Ugandan hospitals from January 2015 to December 2025.,To compare induction regimens to treat cryptococcal meningitis (CM), identify risk factors of outcomes (mortality and morbidity [anemia, acute kidney injury, and electrolyte imbalance]), and design a predictive model for all-cause mortality using data from people living with HIV (PLWH) hospitalized with CM in Uganda from 2015 to 2025.
