Correcting mortality estimates among children and youth on antiretroviral therapy in southern Africa: A comparative analysis between a multi‐country tracing study and linkage to a health information exchange

Abstract

Our findings emphasise that lost to follow-up is non-ignorable and both tracing and linkage improved outcome ascertainment: tracing identified substantial mortality in those reported as lost to follow-up, whereas linkage did not identify out-of-facility deaths, but showed that a large proportion of those reported as lost to follow-up were self-transfers.
