  abstract: SUMMARY: Background: The national Centre for AIDS and STD Control (NCASC) has estimated that about 40,723 people were living with HIV (PLHIV) in Nepal 2013 with adult HIV prevalence of 0.23% HIV Prevalence in some key affected population (KAP) groups has remained consistently above 5% in some parts of the country. HIV epidemic in Nepal is changing over time and Nepal is categorized as a country facing concerntrated HIV epidemic. People who inject drugs (PWID), female sex workers (FSWs) and their clients, migrant workers and their spouses and men who have sex with men(MSW) are KAP at higher risk of spreading the epidemic in the country. In Nepal, at the time of study Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) services were provided from 53 sites. Previously, a similar study was carried out in Far-West region of Nepal. However, so far at the national level, no studies have been conducted to analyze mortality among PLHIV on ART and factors contributing to the mortality. This study was based on a large sample drawn from five large ART sites selected from five development regions of Nepal. These sites were Bheri Zonal Hospital (BZH) BP koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Seti Zonal Hospital(SZH), Sukra Raj Tropical and Infectious Disease Diseases Hospital (STIDH) and Western Regional Hospital(WRH). The objectives of the study were: (i) to measure mortality among adult PLHIV on ART, and (ii) to identify the determinants of mortality among adult PLHIV on ART. Methodology: A restrospective cohort study design was used Data on 6,977 Art patients, who started ART between Jan 2004 and Dec. 2013, from any of the five ART sites selected for the study were collected using Census and Survey Processing System(CSPro) Version 5.0 software in laptops. In total 3,799 case met the eligibility criteria of the study and complete data were collected for the cases only. Data analysis was performed using Statistical package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 and Stat SE version 12.0 so…
