actg315raw {ushr}

Data from ACTG315 trial of HIV viral load in adults undergoing ART

Description

Data from the ACTG315 clinical trial of HIV-infected adults undergoing ART. Data are included for 46 individuals, with HIV viral load measurements observed on specific days up to 28 weeks after treatment initiation, and converted to log10 RNA copies/ml. The RNA assay detection threshold was 100 copies/ml. Additional columns include patient identifiers and CD4 T cell counts.

Usage

data(actg315raw)

Format

A data frame with 361 rows and 5 columns:

Obs.No

Row number

Patid

Numerical patient identifier

Day

Time of each observation, in days since treatment initiation

log10.RNA.

HIV viral load measurements, in log10 RNA copies/ml

CD4

CD4 T cell counts, in cells/mm^3
