description: A produção organística das primeiras décadas do séc. XX em Portugal é praticamente insignificante. As obras escritas nos anos 60 permanecem inéditas, mas algumas há, que merecem particular destaque. Pretende-se nesta comunicação dar a conhecer a evolução da cultura organística portuguesa ao longo do séc. XX, focando tanto o ponto de viragem para o ressurgimento da cultura organística, como os concursos que motivaram a composição para Órgão. Assim, apresentam-se o Tríptico para Órgão de Manuel Faria, escrito para o Concurso Nacional de Composição Carlos Seixas em 1963, e as Variações sobre o nome de Igor Stravinsky de Constança Capdeville, escritas para o Concurso de Composição do Conservatório Nacional no ano de 1962. Faz-se a apresentação dos autores e uma breve descrição destas obras, que despertam particular interesse pela originalidade de alguns processos utilizados e pela modernidade da linguagem.

Walking and perceived lack of safety: Correlates and association with health outcomes for people living with HIV in rural Zambia
Creators: name: Masa, Rainier D.

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2021

description: Introduction: Geographic inaccessibility disproportionately affects health outcomes of rural populations due to lack of suitable transport, prolonged travel time, and poverty. Rural patients are left with few transport options to travel to a health facility. One common option is to travel by foot, which may present additional challenges, such as perceived lack of safety while transiting. We examined the correlates of perceived lack of safety when walking to a health facility and its association with treatment and psychosocial outcomes among adults living with HIV. Methods: Data were collected from 101 adults living with HIV in Eastern Province, Zambia. All participants were receiving antiretroviral therapy at one of two health clinics. Perceived lack of safety was measured by asking respondents whether they felt unsafe traveling to and from the health facility in which they were receiving their HIV care. Outcomes included medication adherence, perceived stress, hope for the future, and barriers to pill taking. Linear and logistic regression methods were used to examine the correlates of perceived safety and its association with health outcomes. Results: Being older, a woman, having a primary education, living farther from a health facility, traveling longer to reach a health facility, and owing money were associated with higher likelihood of feeling unsafe when traveling by foot to health facility. Perceived lack of safety was associated with medication nonadherence, higher level of stress, lower level of agency, and more barriers to pill taking. Conclusions: Perceived lack of safety when traveling by foot to a health facility may be a barrier to better treatment and psychosocial outcomes, especially among rural patients. Practitioners and policymakers should consider implementation of differentiated HIV service delivery models to reduce frequent travel to health facilities and to alleviate ART patients' worry about lack of safety when traveling by foot to a health facility.

description: Proponho-me reflectir sobre a interacção entre estruturas intervalares e estruturas espectrais. Acredito que a interacção e a co-existência entre os dois tipos de estrutura poderão constituir uma experiência enriquecedora para a escrita musical. Entendo por estruturas intervalares as estruturas musicais caracterizadas pelos intervalos que as constituem. Entendo por estruturas espectrais todas as estruturas que se possam relacionar com a componente espectral do som, seja na sua vertente harmónica como inarmónica. Relaciono os dois tipos de estrutura com o fenómeno da percepção auditiva, sendo abordadas diferentes interacções entre elas, confirmando que o pensamento intervalar é compatível com o pensamento espectral e que a relação entre ambos tem uma influência determinante no resultado musical final, na eficácia da escuta e na sua fruição. Estas reflexões centram-se em torno da minha música, a partir de exemplos de dois andamentos da obra “terra”, para orquestra de cordas.

description: Observations of blazar jets are shrouded in relativistic effects, thus hindering our understanding of their intrinsic properties and dominant physical processes responsible for their generation, evolution,radiation and particle emission. In this work we focus on extracting information about timescales in the jet rest frame using a population-modeling approach. We employ Monte Carlo simulations to derive a simple population model for the intrinsic unbeamed luminosities and the Lorentz $Γ$ of blazar jets that adequately describe the observed redshift and apparent superluminal speed distributions for flux-limited blazar samples. We derive separate models for BL Lacs and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars. We then use these models to compute the predicted distribution of Doppler factors in each blazar class, and address the following questions: (a) What is the relativistically induced spread in observed timescales (e.g., event duration, time lags) in a flux-limited sample of relativistic jets? (b) Could differences between BL Lacs and FSRQs observed in the time domain be attributed to differences in beaming between the two populations? (c) Is there a statistically preferred amount of beaming in a flux-limited sample? How large are statistical deviations from that preferred value? We use our findings to propose promising approaches in phenomenological studies of timescales in blazar jets.

description: The clinical and etiological relation between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia is unclear. The degree to which these disorders share a basis in etiology has important implications for clinicians, researchers, and those affected. Our objective was to determine if a family history of schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder was a risk factor for ASD. We conducted a case-control evaluation of histories of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in first-degree relatives of probands in three samples, population registers in Sweden, Stockholm County, and Israel. Probands met criteria for ASD, and affection status of parents and siblings for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were established.

description: A implantação do regime democrático em Portugal, a seguir ao 25 de Abril de 1974, define também um período durante o qual diversas organizações e associações de carácter humanitário, em especial de perfil não governamental, vieram a desempenhar um papel fundamental na luta por direitos de cidadania e de igualdade de determinadas comunidades e grupos sociais minoritários. Questões de raça, etnia, migração, género e identidade, inicialmente vistas como desigualdades de segundo plano, foram, ao longo de 35 anos, ganhando visibilidade e subindo numa hierarquia política que sempre teve como prioridade a diluição das desigualdades sócio-económicas. A actividade da Associação Cultural Moinho da Juventude, sedeada no Bairro do Alto da Cova da Moura e fundada a 9 de Junho de 1987 é um exemplo deste processo longo e transformador. Actualmente, mostrar a diferença no Bairro do Alto da Cova da Moura (Kova M) é, também, uma forma de expor o orgulho de ser cabo-verdiano. E esta atitude é, em grande medida, resultado da acção daquela associação e dos seus mentores. A música, pela sua natureza performativa, é particularmente propícia à exposição da diferença. Assim, esta comunicação procura mostrar, através de uma investigação desenvolvida no Kova M sobre a prática performativa Kola San Jon, como os comportamentos em torno da música constituem, efectivamente, o paradigma de um processo de legitimação da diferença. A natureza polissémica desta performance, que incorpora a música, a dança, a voz e os artefactos mostra o poder deste processo musical e ritual. Viagem a Cabo Verde é o nome de uma apresentação multimédia, construída como memória de um itinerário que a investigadora acompanhou desde a Amadora até Cabo Verde. Neste trajecto, realizado em 2008, a (re)visualização dos lugares, construiu validações e a certeza de que Eu vou mas volto, diferente!

description: Cerebral Embolic Protection Device (CEPD) captures emboli during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). With recently published pivotal trials and multiple cohort studies reporting new data, there is a need to re-calibrate available statistical evidence. A systematic literature search was conducted across databases from inception till February 2023. Dichotomous outcomes were pooled using Odds Ratio (OR), while continuous outcomes were pooled using Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) along with 95% corresponding intervals (95% CIs). Data was included from 17 studies (7 RCTs, 10 cohorts, n = 155,829). Use of CEPD was associated with significantly reduced odds of stroke (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.43–0.85, p = 0.003). There was no significant difference in disabling stroke (p = 0.25), non-disabling stroke (p = 0.72), and 30-day mortality (p = 0.10) between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups for Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI) findings, acute kidney injury, risk of pacemaker implantation life-threatening bleed, major bleed, minor bleed, worsening National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and vascular complications (p > 0.05). The use of CEPD during TAVR reduced the incidence of all-stroke (p = 0.003); however, there were no significant differences in any of the other pooled outcomes (p > 0.05). The protocol of this meta-analysis was registered with the Open Science framework [https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/7W564] before data acquisition was started.

description: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will only exacerbate the rising mental health concerns among college students. However, stigma toward such concerns continues to hinder mental health care utilization among the students, requiring urgent evidence that can help guide college campuses in implementing effective antistigma interventions. We propose and provide evidence for an intervention based on findings from a 3-year-long antistigma intervention that was implemented on a Southeastern college campus in the United States. Unique random samples of college students, totaling N = 1727 across 3 years, were recruited as participants. Each year, participants completed a preintervention and postintervention survey comprising of questions related to demographics, stigma, and mental health care knowledge. Findings indicate that the stakeholder-led intervention decreased personal stigma and increased mental health care knowledge among students who were exposed to the intervention. Further research is needed to assess feasibility and efficacy of the proposed intervention framework on other campuses.

description: Repeated measures are required to monitor and map trajectories of mental health symptoms that are sensitive to the changing distal and proximal stressors throughout the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Understanding symptoms in young children is particularly important given the short- and long-term implications of early-onset internalizing symptoms. This study utilized an intensive longitudinal approach to assess the course and environmental correlates of anxiety and depression symptoms in 133 children, ages 4–11 (Mage = 7.35, SD = 1.03), in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Caregivers completed 48 repeated assessments from April 7, 2020, to June 15, 2021, on child and caregiver mental health symptoms, family functioning, and COVID-19-related environmental changes. Results from a series of multilevel growth models demonstrate that child depression symptoms were highest following initial stay-at-home orders (April 2020) and linearly decreased over time, while child anxiety symptoms were variable over the 15-month period. Caregiver depression symptoms and family conflict significantly predicted levels of child depression symptoms. In contrast, caregiver depression symptoms, caregiver anxiety symptoms, and time spent home quarantining significantly predicted levels of child anxiety symptoms. Results suggest that depression and anxiety symptoms in young children may have unique trajectories over the course of the coronavirus pandemic and highlight symptom-specific risk factors for each symptom.

description: Systems of strongly interacting particles, fermions or bosons, can give rise to topological phases that are not acessible to non-interacting systems. Many such interaction-enabled topological phases have been discussed theoretically but few experimental realizations exists. Here we propose a new platform for interacting topological phases of fermions with time reversal symmetry $\bar T$ (such that $\bar T^2=1$) that can be realized in vortex lattices in the surface state of a topological insulator. The constituent particles are Majorana fermions bound to vortices and antivortices of such a lattice. We explain how the $\bar T$ symmetry arises and discuss ways in which interactions can be experimentally tuned and detected. We show how these features can be exploited to realize a class of interaction-enabled crystalline topological phases that have no analog in weakly interacting systems.

We investigate the effects of this new interaction on the hydrogen atom, including the Stark, Zeeman and hyperfine effects. Using the accuracy of the measurement of energy, we obtain an upper bound for the coupling constant of the model. We also calculate the contribution from the hidden photonic portal to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, which provides an important probe of physics beyond the standard model.

description: We propose a resonant electromagnetic detector to search for hidden-photon dark matter over an extensive range of masses. Hidden-photon dark matter can be described as a weakly coupled "hidden electric field," oscillating at a frequency fixed by the mass, and able to penetrate any shielding. At low frequencies (compared to the inverse size of the shielding), we find that observable effect of the hidden photon inside any shielding is a real, oscillating magnetic field. We outline experimental setups designed to search for hidden-photon dark matter, using a tunable, resonant LC circuit designed to couple to this magnetic field. Our "straw man" setups take into consideration resonator design, readout architecture and noise estimates. At high frequencies,there is an upper limit to the useful size of a single resonator set by $1/ν$. However, many resonators may be multiplexed within a hidden-photon coherence length to increase the sensitivity in this regime. Hidden-photon dark matter has an enormous range of possible frequencies, but current experiments search only over a few narrow pieces of that range. We find the potential sensitivity of our proposal is many orders of magnitude beyond current limits over an extensive range of frequencies, from 100 Hz up to 700 GHz and potentially higher.

description: We construct "barcodes" for the chain complexes over Novikov rings that arise in Novikov's Morse theory for closed one-forms and in Floer theory on not-necessarily-monotone symplectic manifolds. In the case of classical Morse theory these coincide with the barcodes familiar from persistent homology. Our barcodes completely characterize the filtered chain homotopy type of the chain complex; in particular they subsume in a natural way previous filtered Floer-theoretic invariants such as boundary depth and torsion exponents, and also reflect information about spectral invariants. We moreover prove a continuity result which is a natural analogue both of the classical bottleneck stability theorem in persistent homology and of standard continuity results for spectral invariants, and we use this to prove a C^0-robustness result for the fixed points of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. Our approach, which is rather different from the standard methods of persistent homology, is based on a non-Archimedean singular value decomposition for the boundary operator of the chain complex.

A complete graphical calculus for Spekkens' toy bit theory

Year: 2014

description: While quantum theory cannot be described by a local hidden variable model, it is nevertheless possible to construct such models that exhibit features commonly associated with quantum mechanics. These models are also used to explore the question of ψ-ontic versus ψ-epistemic theories for quantum mechanics. Spekkens' toy theory is one such model. It arises from classical probabilistic mechanics via a limit on the knowledge an observer may have about the state of a system. The toy theory for the simplest possible underlying system closely resembles stabilizer quantum mechanics, a fragment of quantum theory which is efficiently classically simulable but also non-local. Further analysis of the similarities and differences between those two theories can thus yield new insights into what distinguishes quantum theory from classical theories, and ψ-ontic from ψ-epistemic theories. In this paper, we develop a graphical language for Spekkens' toy theory. Graphical languages offer intuitive and rigorous formalisms for the analysis of quantum mechanics and similar theories. To compare quantum mechanics and a toy model, it is useful to have similar formalisms for both. We show that our language fully describes Spekkens' toy theory and in particular, that it is complete: meaning any equality that can be derived using other formalisms can also be derived entirely graphically. Our language is inspired by a similar graphical language for quantum mechanics called the ZX-calculus. Thus Spekkens' toy bit theory and stabilizer quantum mechanics can be analysed and compared using analogous graphical formalisms.

description: Diuretics use and overactive bladder syndrome are common in older adults. However, the relationship between the two has not been well studied. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires including the Urge Urinary Distress Inventory (Urge-UDI) and the Urge Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (Urge-IIQ), and by outpatient chart abstraction. Patients (n = 172) had a mean age of 79 ± 7.5 (± S.D.), 76% were women, and 48% were African Americans; 76% had hypertension, 32% had heart failure, and 66% were receiving diuretics (57% loop diuretics). Overall, 72%, 68%, and 73% of patients respectively reported urinary frequency, urgency and urge incontinence. Diuretic use was associated with increased frequency (81% versus 55% non-diuretic; odds ratio = OR = 3.48; 95% confidence interval = CI = 1.73–7.03) and urgency (74% versus 57% non-diuretic; OR = 2.17; 95% CI = 1.11–4.24) but not with incontinence (OR = 1.74; 95% CI = 0.87–3.50). When adjusted for propensity scores, diuretic use had independent associations with frequency (adjusted OR = 3.09; 95% CI = 1.20–7.97) and urgency (adjusted OR = 2.50; 95% CI = 1.00–6.27). In addition to frequency and urgency, loop diuretic use was also associated with incontinence (OR = 2.54; 95% CI = 1.09–5.91), which lost significance after propensity adjustment (adjusted OR = 1.88; 95% CI = 0.57–6.17). Overall summary mean Urge-IIQ score was 1.83 ± 0.85 (±S.D.) with 1.75 ± 0.86, 1.68 ± 0.76, and 2.03 ± 0.88, respectively for no-diuretic, non-loop, and loop-diuretic patients (one-way ANOVA p = 0.063). Overactive bladder symptoms were common among ambulatory older adults and were associated with diuretic use, and had stronger associations with loop diuretic use.

description: The construction of rigid pavements has traditionally relied on concrete due to its high compressive strength and durability. However, the introduction of polymer-structured materials in pavement construction offers numerous advantages, including enhanced flexibility, improved durability, and increased resistance to environmental stressors. This paper explores the use of polymer-structured materials in the construction of rigid pavements, providing a literature review and detailed discussion of their properties, benefits, and specific applications. The paper also examines the future trends and potential of polymer-structured materials in paving technology, emphasizing their role in creating more sustainable and efficient road infrastructure.

description: Approximate Message Passing (AMP) has been shown to be an excellent statistical approach to signal inference and compressed sensing problem. The AMP framework provides modularity in the choice of signal prior; here we propose a hierarchical form of the Gauss-Bernouilli prior which utilizes a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) trained on the signal support to push reconstruction performance beyond that of simple iid priors for signals whose support can be well represented by a trained binary RBM. We present and analyze two methods of RBM factorization and demonstrate how these affect signal reconstruction performance within our proposed algorithm. Finally, using the MNIST handwritten digit dataset, we show experimentally that using an RBM allows AMP to approach oracle-support performance.

description: This paper gives some original time-series estimates (1900-1975) for the constant-dollar gross and net stocks of public and private fixed capital assets associated with agricultural irrigation, drainage and soil conservation activities (IDC) in the United States. In 1975 the IDC facilities and associated equipment had a real net or depreciated value of $27.5 billion (in constant 1972 dollars). They represent about one-fourth of all fixed nonland capital in agriculture. The $27.5 billion net IDC capital value in 1975 was made up of about $12.3 billion for irrigation (45 percent), $9.7 billion for all conservation (35 percent), and $5.5 billion for drainage (20 percent). The aggregate net value of all IDC capital in 1977 was about $28 billion, weighted 46 percent to irrigation, 20 percent to drainage, and 34 percent to conservation.

description: The definitions of open science from around the world agree: we need scientific knowledge to be open. Climbing the ladder towards opening our scientific knowledge requires an increasing interweaving of technology into our methods of human interaction with a growing variety of items, balanced with dynamic needs for privacy and security. Preparing our infrastructure and standards for the demands of open science can be guided by a few questions:

What capabilities does open science demand of our scientific knowledge?
What do these capabilities demand of Heliophysics infrastructure?
Where are the current standards lacking or too rigid?
What are some paths forward?
Pondering the answers to these questions will provide insight into what is needed and how to prioritize our efforts.
Case reportEpipericardial fat necrosis – a rare cause of pleuritic chest pain: case report and review of the literature
Creators: name: Runge, Thomas

description: Epipericardial fat necrosis (EPFN) is an uncommon cause of chest pain. Typically manifesting as severe acute chest pain, EPFN can be mistaken for a serious disorder, such as pulmonary embolism or myocardial infarction. We report a case of EPFN, diagnosed tentatively based on clinical and radiographic findings, with documented resolution of the lesion on chest CT. According to our literature search, this is only the second case in which chest CT alone was used to both diagnose the lesion and track its resolution. It is the first documented case diagnosed and followed as such in North America.

description: Background: Norovirus and sapovirus cause a large burden of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in young children. We assessed protection conferred by norovirus and sapovirus AGE episodes against future episodes. Methods: Between June 2017 and July 2018, we recruited 444 newborns in León, Nicaragua. Weekly household surveys identified AGE episodes over 36 months, and AGE stools were tested by reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for norovirus genogroup (G)I/GII and sapovirus. We used recurrent-event Cox models and negative control methods to estimate protection conferred by first episodes, controlling for observed and unobserved risk factors, respectively. Results: Sapovirus episodes conferred a 69% reduced hazard of subsequent episodes using the negative control method. Norovirus GI (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.31, 1.3) and GII (HR = 0.20; 95% CI = 0.04, 0.44) episodes also appeared highly protective. Protection against norovirus GII was enhanced following two episodes. Conclusions: Evidence of natural immunity in early childhood provides optimism for the future success of pediatric norovirus and sapovirus vaccines.

description: INTRODUCTION: To investigate the associations between the mRNA levels of H19 in term placenta and risk of macrosomia.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Term placentas were collected from 37 macrosomia and 37 matched neonates with normal birth weight (controls) born in Changzhou Women and Children Health Hospital, Jiangsu province, P. R. China from March 1 to June 30, 2008. The mRNA levels of H19 in those placentas were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Simple and multiple logistic regression models were used to explore the risk factors in the development of macrosomia. All analyses were performed using Stata 10.0 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas, USA).

RESULTS: The average H19 mRNA level of the macrosomia group was 1.450 ±0.456 while in the control group it was 2.080 ±1.296. Based on the result of Student's t test, there was a significant difference in H19 mRNA level between the macrosomia group and the control group (p = 0.008). After controlling for potential confounders, the multivariable adjusted odds ratio (OR) of macrosomia for those in the highest tertile of H19 mRNA level was 0.12 (95% CI: 0.02-0.59) when compared to those in the lowest tertile (p for linear trend = 0.009).

CONCLUSIONS: The term placental H19 mRNA levels were inversely related to the occurrence of macrosomia. Our findings suggest that the low expression of H19 mRNA may contribute to the development of macrosomia.

Comparison of the Modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study and Mild Macular Grid Laser Photocoagulation Strategies for Diabetic Macular Edema
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: OBJECTIVE: To compare 2 laser photocoagulation techniques for treatment of diabetic macular edema: the modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) direct/grid photocoagulation technique and a potentially milder (but potentially more extensive) mild macular grid (MMG) laser technique in which microaneurysms are not treated directly and small mild burns are placed throughout the macula, whether or not edema is present.

METHODS: Two hundred sixty-three subjects (mean age, 59 years) with previously untreated diabetic macular edema were randomly assigned to receive laser photocoagulation by either the modified ETDRS (162 eyes) or MMG (161 eyes) technique. Visual acuity, fundus photographs, and optical coherence tomography measurements were obtained at baseline and at 3.5, 8, and 12 months. Treatment was repeated if diabetic macular edema persisted.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Change in optical coherence tomography measurements at 12-month follow-up.

RESULTS: Among eyes with a baseline central subfield thickness of 250 microm or greater, central subfield thickening decreased by an average of 88 microm in the modified ETDRS group and by 49 microm in the MMG group at 12-month follow-up (adjusted mean difference, 33 microm; 95% confidence interval, 5-61 microm; P = .02). Weighted inner zone thickening by optical coherence tomography decreased by 42 microm in the modified ETDRS group and by 28 microm in the MMG group (adjusted mean difference, 14 microm; 95% confidence interval, 1-27 microm; P = .04); maximum retinal thickening (maximum thickening of the central and 4 inner subfields) decreased by 66 and 39 microm, respectively (adjusted mean difference, 27 microm; 95% confidence interval, 6-47 microm; P = .01), and retinal volume decreased by 0.8 and 0.4 mm3, respectively (adjusted mean difference, 0.3 mm3; 95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.53 mm3; P = .03). At 12 months, the mean change in visual acuity was 0 letters in the modified ETDRS group and 2 letters worse in the MMG group (adjusted mean difference, 2 letters; 95% confidence interval, -0.5 to 5 letters; P = .10).

CONCLUSIONS: At 12 months after treatment, the MMG technique was less effective at reducing optical coherence tomography-measured retinal thickening than the more extensively evaluated current modified ETDRS laser photocoagulation approach. However, the visual acuity outcome with both approaches is not substantially different. Given these findings, a larger long-term trial of the MMG technique is not justified.

APPLICATION TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Modified ETDRS focal photocoagulation should continue to be a standard approach for treating diabetic macular edema.

description: Background: Improving viral suppression among people with HIV reduces morbidity, mortality, and transmission. Accordingly, monitoring the proportion of patients with a suppressed viral load is important to optimizing HIV care and treatment programs. But viral load data are often incomplete in clinical records. We illustrate a two-stage approach to estimate the proportion of treated people with HIV who have a suppressed viral load in the Dominican Republic. Methods: Routinely collected data on viral load and patient characteristics were recorded in a national database, but 74% of patients on treatment at the time of the study did not have a recent viral load measurement. We recruited a subset of these patients for a rapid assessment that obtained additional viral load measurements. We combined results from the rapid assessment and main database using a two-stage weighting approach and compared results to estimates obtained using standard approaches to account for missing data. Results: Of patients with recent routinely collected viral load data, 60% had a suppressed viral load. Results were similar after applying standard approaches to account for missing data. Using the two-stage approach, we estimated that 77% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 74, 80) of those on treatment had a suppressed viral load. Conclusions: When assessing the proportion of people on treatment with a suppressed viral load using routinely collected data, applying standard approaches to handle missing data may be inadequate. In these settings, augmenting routinely collected data with data collected through sampling-based approaches could allow more accurate and efficient monitoring of HIV treatment program effectiveness.
