We note that for those subjects with increasing HIV-1 RNA over time, using time to the last observation prior to initiation of cART as their high viral load duration led to conservative estimates of the fraction of identified subjects.
The success of the predictive ability of extracted ADI-R variables in the DAs is reflected in classification matrices that show the number and percentage of correctly and incorrectly identified subjects.
In the present study, we enrolled subjects with a rigorous diagnosis of asthma, and identified subjects with and without EIB, a syndrome characterized by an abnormal airway epithelium and increased concentrations of inflammatory eicosanoids in the airways [8].
