Structure and content
Integrating Toxicity Monitoring into M&E Systems
2014 Consolidated HIV SI Guide
Toxicity Monitoring in SI Guide • Recommend Toxicity Monitoring as Key
component of Strategic Information for HIV programme.
• Especially as ART is scaled up and more people start ART earlier and longer on a wide scale, implementation of toxicity monitoring is critical for HIV programmes to monitor safety.
• Need to address how best to implement the toxicity monitoring system in a given country.

Toxicity Monitoring – M&E • How can we implement TM beyond special
studies in sentinel sites
• Can we integrate selected components of TM within routine monitoring systems?
• Integrating it into routine M&E systems means potentially more data (more or all sites) but may also lead to more variability in quality of data and interpretation of reported data.

Generic Tools
1. HIV Patient Card – one card/file per individual 2. ART Register – summary of key variable to facilitate data aggregation and reporting
3. Reporting Forms
1. Cohort Reporting From 2. Cross-sectional Reporting From 3. Toxicity Monitoring form??

Reporting Forms
17/01/2014 16
ART Cohort Reporting Form: Report on a group of patients’ status at time x after initation
Out of all patients who started ART in a given month , what was there status 12 m later: - On ART (1st line, 2nd line) - Stopped - Died - Lost No reason, no link to molecule
On 1st Line Regimen
17/01/2014 17
Cross sectional reporting form
On 1st Line Regimen
On 2nd Line Regimen
What to report up for toxicity monitoring? Specific TM reporting form
Using routine data
• Routine reporting from facilities – Paper-based system: simple and small set of data
reported up monthly or quarterly – Electronic system: core set of data for toxicity
monitoring categorized for routine reporting
• Retrospective data extraction, based on: – Various inclusion/exclusion criteria – Various disaggregation or target population of
interest 18
Integration with M&E Pros
• More data from larger number of facilities and patients.
• Potentially more representative characterization of toxicities
• Potentially saves cost with less resource-intensive approach compared to research/special studies
Cons
• Reporting on adverse events (and serious adverse events) may be more under-reported.
• Training and supervision may not be as rigorous as research/pilot/sentinel sites.
• Diagnostic capacity • Less detailed information
available. • No incentive(?) but more
work load • Data interpretation?
17/01/2014 19
Issues to Consider • What adverse reactions are worth collecting
routinely everywhere? • Minimum set of data elements - adverse events
to be recorded in patient cards and reported up • Criteria/conditions to make this work
17/01/2014 20
Is it worth it? TM Data Collected through routine monitoring system (benefit)
≥ Effort and Resources required to report extra TM related data (cost)
Indicators for TM Possible indicators:
• % of treatment discontinuation or substitution due to ARV toxicity
• % of life-threatening illness* and death due to ARV toxicity
* Life-threatening illness defined as a serious drug reaction , together with death, hospitalization, disability, and congenital anomalies.
Currently, WHO generic routine registers collect treatment discontinuation and deaths by ART start cohort. Can consider including in the cross-sectional form or a TM-specific reporting form (which can also include other drugs).
