OBJECTIVE: The goal of the study was to assess the activity of a multidisciplinary structure for HIV infected patients, two years after the opening of the day hospital. DESIGN: A retrospective observational study of the Bobo Dioulasso day-hospital was made using the ESOPE (Epiconcept, France) software. RESULTS: In 2002, 147 patients were followed in the Bobo Dioulasso university hospital, 27 (or 18.5 %) of whom were treated with antiretrovirals. Between 2005, opening of the day-hospital, and 2007, the total number of patients increased by 20 %. The number of patients on antiretrovirals rose from 47 to 70 % in the same time. The rate of patients with waved antiretroviral costs rose from 6 to 53 %. Three hundred and eighty-six patients died between 2002 and 2007. 1450 patients were lost to follow-up between 20002 and 2007. CONCLUSIONS: Two years after its opening, the Bobo Dioulasso day-hospital manages one of the largest HIV cohort in sub-Saharan Africa and has become a reference structure in Burkina Faso. The analysis of this cohort was an opportunity to identify issues concerning HIV patient treatment in 2009. (c) 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
