摘要: Objective—To evaluate the relationship between early CD4 + lymphocyte recovery on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and subsequent survival among low body mass index (BMI) HIV-1 infected adults. Design—Retrospective analysis of a large programmatic cohort in Lusaka, Zambia. Methods—We evaluated ART treated adults enrolled care >6 months. We stratified this study population according to WHO malnutrition criteria: normal (BMI ≥18.5 kg/m 2 ), mild (17.00-18.49), moderate (16.00-16.99), severe (<16.0). used Cox proportional hazards regression estimate risk death associated with absolute count change over first 6 months ART. To account for effect modification baseline count, weighted summary measure was calculated.
