Table 2 Summary of “lives saved” estimation approach for HIV, TB, and malaria
Indicator | Lives saved | Country-level data from end-user | Key assumptions |
|---|---|---|---|
ART coverage for HIV | 5.11 lives saved per 100,000 population for each 1 percentage point increase in ART coverage | • Population size (optional: HIV prevalence) | • Effectiveness of ART coverage is similar to that of average effectiveness in Nigeria and South Africa |
ART coverage for PMTCT | 12.5 child deaths averted for every 100 additional HIV positive women on ART for PMTCT | • Percent of pregnant women who are HIV + that receive ART for PMTCT | • Effectiveness of ART coverage for PMTCT is similar to that of 21 sub-Saharan countries |
Tuberculosis treatment coverage | 1 life saved for every 3 TB cases treated | • Estimated number of all TB cases (detected) • TB treatment success rate | • TB treatment success rate remains fixed, regardless of level of TB treatment coverage |
Children < 5 years sought treatment for fever | 0.46% decline in count of < 5 malaria deaths for each percentage point increase in treatment-seeking | • Number of malaria-related deaths for under five children | • If a child seeks treatment for fever at a facility, they receive a diagnostic test for malaria |
