vl_3 {qvirus} | R Documentation |
Contains longitudinal measurements of viral load for 176 patients from 2018 to 2024. Viral load is a critical marker used to monitor the effectiveness of HIV treatment by measuring the amount of HIV RNA in the blood.
vl_3
A data frame with 176 rows and 18 variables:
Unique identifier for each patient.
Viral load for the first measurement in 2018.
Viral load for the second measurement in 2018.
Viral load for the first measurement in 2019.
Viral load for the second measurement in 2019.
Viral load for the first measurement in 2020.
Viral load for the first measurement in 2021.
Viral load for the second measurement in 2021.
Viral load for the third measurement in 2021.
Viral load for the first measurement in 2022.
Viral load for the second measurement in 2022.
Viral load for the third measurement in 2022.
Viral load for the first measurement in 2023.
Viral load for the second measurement in 2023.
Viral load for the third measurement in 2023.
Viral load for the first measurement in 2024.
Viral load for the second measurement in 2024.
Viral load for the third measurement in 2024.
The viral load measurements provide insight into the patient's response to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Lower viral load values, especially undetectable levels, indicate better control of the infection. Missing values indicate that no viral load measurement was available for that patient at that specific time.
