A clinical trial dataset contains information on 520 participants aged 60 years or older from two outpatient HIV care sites in Kenya. It includes demographic details, antiretroviral history, body mass index, and baseline and follow-up laboratory investigations. The data was collected by the BFTAF Study for research on first-line treatment switches.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between baseline CD4 levels and follow-up viral load outcomes after a treatment switch.
- Model the impact of ARV history and demographics on changes in renal function or lipid profiles over time.
- Assess the frequency and descriptive characteristics of adverse events in the elderly patient cohort.
- Investigate correlations between body mass index and metabolic laboratory results like blood sugar and lipids.
Strengths
- Dataset contains records for 520 enrolled trial participants.
- Includes longitudinal data with both baseline and follow-up laboratory measurements.
- Focuses on a specific, understudied demographic of HIV patients aged 60 years or older.
Limitations
- Sample size is limited to two clinical sites in Kenya, which may limit geographic generalizability.
- The dataset represents a specific study week (Week 9), providing a snapshot rather than a complete longitudinal record.
