Modelling hepatotoxicity in HIV/TB co-infected patients: extensions of the Cox Proportional Hazards Model by Mlotshwa, Vintia Philile

“…In the Cox multivariable analyses: time-varying treatment arm, older patients, alcohol consumption, low baseline total bilirubin and a positive baseline Hepatitis B surface antigen status, were associated with a higher risk of developing the first occurrence of hepatotoxicity. The extended Cox models (AG model, Shared frailty model, PWP TT model and PWP GT model) in combination identified that: time-varying treatment arm, older patients, alcohol consumption, baseline CD4 count that is greater than 50 cells per mm3 , low baseline total bilirubin, and a positive baseline Hepatitis B surface antigen status were associated with an increased risk of developing recurrent hepatotoxicity. …”
