This study underlines the early mortality pattern after HAART initiation and highlights the leading role of mycobacterial infections in the causes of death.
This study shows that HAART is feasible and well tolerated in African patients. Clinical and biological results were comparable to those seen in western cohorts, despite differences in the HIV-1 subtype distribution and an advanced disease stage when the treatment was initiated. Contrary to other recent studies in Africa, viral resistance rarely emerged.
markers of frailty (poor overall condition, pressure sores, prior hospitalisation) or severe disability (for self-feeding) were the most important predictors of early readmission among elderly medical inpatients. Early identification could facilitate preventive strategies in risk group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
