ClinConnect Summary

The UNCPM 22322 trial, also known as the MLATHO study, is looking at ways to improve care for adults in Malawi who are living with HIV and other long-term health conditions, known as noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). The researchers want to adapt a care model that has been successful in the United States to help these patients after they leave the hospital, ensuring they receive the right support to manage their health.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old, living with HIV, and have been admitted to the hospital for internal medicine with a heart-related condition or another serious health issue related to HIV. The trial is not currently recruiting participants, but when it begins, those who take part can expect to receive tailored support that aims to improve their health outcomes after discharge. It's important to note that only patients living within the urban area of Lilongwe will be able to participate in this study.
