Meta-Analysis of HIV and Mental Health Syndemics Impact on Clinical Outcomes

A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis by Atitegeb A. Kidie, aggregating results from 32 observational studies on people living with HIV. The dataset includes pooled odds ratios for antiretroviral therapy adherence and viral suppression based on mental health-related syndemic counts. The file is a 21.3 KB DOCX document summarizing the study's methods and findings.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between syndemic count and ART adherence based on reported odds ratios.
• Analyzing the clustering of mental health conditions with socioeconomic factors like food insecurity and stigma.
• Investigating heterogeneity in study results for viral suppression, as indicated by the I² statistic.
• Reviewing methodological approaches to defining and measuring syndemics across different studies.

Strengths

• Includes specific pooled odds ratios with confidence intervals (e.g., OR=0.73 for adherence, OR=1.26 for detectable viral load).
• Summarizes findings from 32 studies with sample sizes ranging from 51 to 14,261 participants.
• Reports on heterogeneity metrics (I² = 98.58% and 52.38%) for the meta-analyses.
• Study followed PRISMA guidelines and used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for quality assessment.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is a summary document (21.3 KB), not the raw underlying study data.
