Meta-Analysis Results on HIV and Mental Health Syndemics from 32 Studies

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 32 observational studies investigating mental health-related syndemics among people living with HIV (PLWH). The dataset includes pooled odds ratios for antiretroviral therapy adherence and viral suppression, with sample sizes ranging from 51 to 14,261 participants. The work was authored by Atitegeb A. Kidie and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between syndemic count and ART adherence based on pooled odds ratios.
• Analyzing the impact of mental health conditions like depression on viral suppression outcomes.
• Investigating the clustering of socioeconomic factors with mental health conditions within syndemics.

Strengths

• Includes results from 32 studies with a wide sample size range (51 to 14,261 participants).
• Provides specific pooled odds ratios with confidence intervals for key outcomes (e.g., OR = 0.73 for adherence).
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (34.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
