摘要: OBJECTIVE To examine pretreatment factors associated with longer term (144 weeks) responses to antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS Of 1498 ART-naive subjects randomized ART regimens, including > or =3 agents, 1083 patients who had plasma HIV RNA (vRNA) levels and CD4 cell counts at baseline week 144 were analyzed. Primary evaluated count, vRNA level, gender, race, age, using multivariable Cox, log-binomial, linear regression models. RESULTS Shorter time achieving a level <50 copies/mL was lower (P < 0.001), older age = 0.007), count 0.055). After adjusting for 0.018). Greater increases from (mean 284 cells/microL) seen in younger men, blacks, higher levels; the effect of most apparent women. CONCLUSIONS Older important predictor 144; predictors copies/mL. The influence on differed between men
