Predictors associated with time to default for HIV/AIDS patients under HAART at Debre Tabor Referral Hospital: a Cox regression model by Koyachew Bitew Abebe

“…The study found that patients who did not adhere to at least 95% of their regimen had a higher risk of defaulting from HAART relative to those who did adhere to at least 95% [HR = 2.924, 95% CI: 2.113, 4.047]. To advance the longevity of HIV/AIDS-infected patients within HAART medication, an intervention should be taken from the concerned body for those patients who had been at high risk of defaulting during initial and some stages of treatment. …”
