Longitudinal CD4 Lymphocyte Counts for HIV Patients (2018-2024)

Description

Contains longitudinal measurements of CD4 lymphocyte counts for 176 patients living with HIV, recorded over the period from 2018 to 2024. CD4 counts are a critical indicator of immune function, used to monitor the progression of HIV and the effectiveness of treatments. Measurements were taken at various points throughout the study, with some missing values due to unavailable data for specific patients at certain times.

Details

. CD4 counts are used to monitor immune system health in individuals with HIV. A lower CD4 count often indicates a weakened immune system, whereas higher counts suggest a stronger immune response. Some values are missing, indicating no measurement was taken for a particular patient at that time.
