Outcomes and cost-effectiveness of different models of delivery of antiretroviral therapy by Leisegang, Rory

“…These cohorts had important strengths in their data: adherence measures (private, PPP); initiating ART at CD4 counts > 200 cells/µL (private); detailed cost data (private); long duration of follow-up with a larger proportion on second-line ART (private); ability to assess health care utilization pre-ART and in patient loss to ART follow-up (private); and availability of national identity numbers, allowing us to confirm mortality from national death register data (private, PPP). …”
