PY - 2012 DA - 2012/05/03 TI - Standardized representation, visualization and searchable repository of antiretroviral treatment-change episodes JO - AIDS Research and Therapy SP - 13 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - To identify the determinants of successful antiretroviral (ARV) therapy, researchers study the virological responses to treatment-change episodes (TCEs) accompanied by baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA levels, CD4+ T lymphocyte counts, and genotypic resistance data. Such studies, however, often differ in their inclusion and virological response criteria making direct comparisons of study results problematic. Moreover, the absence of a standard method for representing the data comprising a TCE makes it difficult to apply uniform criteria in the analysis of published studies of TCEs.
