Exploring the validity of routine individuated service data for antenatal HIV surveillance in the Western Cape by Nisha Jacob, Brian Rice, Alexa Heekes, Leigh F. Johnson, Samantha Brinkmann, Tendesayi Kufa, Adrian Puren, Andrew Boulle

“…Provincial, district-level and age-group HIV prevalence estimates were compared between data systems using correlation coefficients, absolute differences and trend analysis. Results Of the 977,800 pregnancies ascertained, PHDC HIV prevalence estimates from 2011 to 2013 were widely disparate from aggregate and survey data (due to incomplete electronic data), whereas from 2014 onwards, estimates were within the 95% confidence interval of survey estimates, and closely correlated to aggregate data estimates (r = 0.8; p = 0.01), with an average prevalence difference of 0.4%. …”
