  Background of the study: The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which has caused the world's worst heartbreak and danger, is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is a virus. The purpose of this inquiry was to pinpoint the key joint predictor factors and their relationships, two of which were the progression of CD4 cells and the time to death for HIV/AIDS patients starting ART at Mekelle General Hospital (MGH) in Northern Ethiopia. Methods: A longitudinal retrospective cohort follow-up study involving 216 HIV positive individuals was used to look into the progression of CD4 cells and the time to mortality in these patients. The primary joint predictor variables and their association with time-to-mortality for HIV/AIDS patients who started ART were found using a joint model analysis approach. In the gen.. Read More»
