Figures & data

Table 1 Demographic and viro-immunological characteristics of the sample overall and by site

Table 2 Individual annual HAART costs according to selected variables

Figure 1 Coefficient progression for individual HAART costs, according to the GLMSELECT procedure. Factors were included in the analysis as follows: HAART line (haartl), AIDS event (AIDS), detectable HIV viral load (vl_20), and current CD4 count (cd4_100). Deflections from the starting point are directly correlated with the impact of each determinant on HAART costs, ie, the more the deflection is, the more HAART costs are influenced from such factor. HAART line is the most important factor influencing HAART costs.

Abbreviations: AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome; HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus.
