Description
San Francisco, CA, provides the geographic scope for this clinical dataset of 259 people with HIV (PWH). The data includes participant characteristics, pneumonia history, and pulmonary function test (PFT) results, such as FEV1, FVC, and DLCO %predicted. Author Sven J. Walderich published the dataset on figshare in April 2026.
Use Cases
Modeling the association between pneumonia recurrence and lung function decline based on FEV1, FVC, and DLCO metrics.
Predicting the risk of airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC < LLN) in people with HIV based on clinical and demographic covariates.
Analyzing the differential impact of bacterial versus Pneumocystis pneumonia on pulmonary function outcomes.
Studying the effects of inhalational substance use and other HIV-associated factors on pulmonary health.
Strengths
Includes data for 259 participants with detailed clinical categorization.
Contains key pulmonary function metrics (FEV1, FVC, DLCO %predicted) and associated odds ratios from regression analysis.
