Cohort profile: measuring adverse pregnancy and newborn congenital outcomes (MANGO) study in Kenya.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Pharmacovigilance (PV) systems to assess the safety of antiretroviral treatment used periconception and during pregnancy are lacking in low-resource settings with high HIV burdens, and strategies to guide their implementation are limited. We implemented the Measuring Adverse Pregnancy and Newborn Congenital Outcomes (MANGO) study in Kenya to address these gaps.

Participants

In MANGO, we ascertained delivery outcomes for pregnant women living with HIV (WLH) and not living with HIV (WNLH) enrolled in care at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) through two cohorts: C1, a prospective cohort of 1:1 matched WLH and WNLH attending antenatal clinic; and C2, a cross-sectional cohort of all deliveries, including among those who did not attend antenatal clinic at MTRH.
