The prognostic value of HIV viral load in predicting viraemic outcomes of post-partum women on antiretroviral therapy: a secondary analysis of two randomised controlled trials from... by Egan, Daniel

“…Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the risk of two consecutive measurements of VL >1000 copies/ml over the study period, based on starting viral load. Results: 883 HIV-infected pregnant women were followed-up for a median of 22.1 months (IQR: 17.7- 24.1), with a longer median length of follow-up in the PACART cohort (24.0 months) compared to the MCH-ART group (17.9 months). 826 (93.5%) of participants recorded at least one episode of VL <50 copies/ml, with 694 (78.6%) demonstrating VL <50 at the first study visit postpartum. 306 women (37%) demonstrated at least one episode of viraemia in the range of 50-999, while 307 (37.2%) experienced one or more episodes of VL >1000. …”
