Figure 7. Relative Risk of Death After Starting Antiretroviral Therapy Based on HIV RNA Value Prior to Initiating Therapy
The analysis is based on 1,219 antiretroviral-naïve adult patients started on any triple-combination antiretroviral therapy between August 1, 1996 and September 30, 1999. The analysis is a Cox Proportional hazard for the patient's risk ratio of death based on HIV RNA level prior to initiating antiretroviral therapy. Figure based on data from Hogg RS, Yip B, Chan KJ, Wood E, Craib KJ, O'Shaughnessy MV, Montaner JS. Rates of disease progression by baseline CD4 cell count and viral load after initiating triple-drug therapy. JAMA. 2001;286:2568-77.
