Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital maternal HIV cohort: 2013-2018 subset
The 2013-2018 subset of the Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH) maternal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cohort includes maternal data from over 4,800 pregnant women living with HIV and delivering at the RMMCH in Johannesburg, South Africa between 2013 and 2018. The subset was part of the overall Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital Maternal HIV cohort, which collected data from over 13,600 women delivering at the facility from April 2013 to April 2020. However, the original study was not longitudinal, as participants did not consent to follow-up tracing. Maternal data in the subset was linked to the National Health Laboratory Service national HIV cohort: a longitudinal cohort of people living with HIV-accessing care in the public sector ART programme in South Africa. This linkage allows for follow-up of maternal outcomes beyond the period of the original cohort, as observed through laboratory tests used to monitor HIV care.
