CD4+ cell count at antiretroviral therapy initiation and economic restoration in rural Uganda.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether earlier initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with better economic outcomes. DESIGN Prospective cohort study of HIV-positive patients on ART in rural Uganda. METHODS Patients initiating ART at a regional referral clinic in Uganda were enrolled in the Uganda AIDS Rural Treatment Outcomes study starting in 2005. Data on labor force participati...
متن کاملTrends of CD4 cell count levels at the initiation of antiretroviral therapy over time and factors associated with late initiation of antiretroviral therapy among Asian HIV-positive patients
INTRODUCTION Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been rapidly scaled up in Asia, most HIV-positive patients in the region still present with late-stage HIV disease. We aimed to determine trends of pre-ART CD4 levels over time in Asian HIV-positive patients and to determine factors associated with late ART initiation. METHODS Data from two regional cohort observational databases were ana...
متن کاملTrend of CD4+ Cell Counts at Diagnosis and Initiation of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART): Korea HIV/AIDS Cohort Study, 1992-2015
BACKGROUND CD4+ cell counts reflect immunologic status of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. Recommended CD4+ cell counts for the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has increased over the past several years in various HIV treatment guidelines. We investigated the trend of CD4+ cell counts at diagnosis and treatment start using data from the Korea HIV/acquired i...
متن کاملAntiretroviral therapy suppressed participants with low CD4+ T-cell counts segregate according to opposite immunological phenotypes
BACKGROUND The failure to increase CD4 T-cell counts in some antiretroviral therapy suppressed participants (immunodiscordance) has been related to perturbed CD4 T-cell homeostasis and impacts clinical evolution. METHODS We evaluated different definitions of immunodiscordance based on CD4 T-cell counts (cutoff) or CD4 T-cell increases from nadir value (ΔCD4) using supervised random forest cla...
متن کاملNutritional status and CD4 cell counts in patients with HIV/AIDS receiving antiretroviral therapy.
INTRODUCTION Even with current highly active antiretroviral therapy, individuals with AIDS continue to exhibit important nutritional deficits and reduced levels of albumin and hemoglobin, which may be directly related to their cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) cell counts. The aim of this study was to characterize the nutritional status of individuals with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired...
