Treatment Response and Mortality among Patients Starting Antiretroviral Therapy with and without Kaposi Sarcoma: A Cohort Study
Figure 2
Mean predicted* CD4 cell count increase from ART initiation stratified by KS status.
*Trajectories were estimated using two separate mixed linear models, one for the KS+ and one for the KS- to allow the curves to depart from being parallel. Curves were fitted using time as a quadratic function and a random intercept with an unstructured correlation matrix for repeated measures.
