The cumulative proportion with virologic failure in our study is comparable to similar cohorts of long-term ART-recipients in urban South African townships including other studies from an urban site in Johannesburg [34], and from Khayelitsha [30].
In our study, self-reported adherence correlated but also seriously underestimated the proportion with virologic failure at month 24 postpartum.
During follow-up a woman can receive a test and is successfully treated at rate α, which incorporates the percentage of women (c) who reported being tested for chlamydia during the follow-up period and the proportion with treatment failure.
*In the absence of the tria (α=0), to observe chlamydia prevalence p at steady state: λ = p 1 − p r. †Reported uptake of chlamydia testing c during the follow-up period (outside of the trial) is reduced by the proportion with treatment failure δ, which results in the effective testing rate α = − l n 1−− 1 − δ c 365 per day [ 18].
The lowest proportion with virologic treatment failure (defined as ≥400 copies/mL), 16% was found 3 months post-delivery, but thereafter increased to 22% at month 6, 61% at month 12 and 86% at 24 months after delivery.
Transplant procedures may be required for long term survival in a small proportion of surgical NEC survivors with failure of intestinal function [ 38].
Age, duration of diabetes, sex, type of diabetes, proportion with end-stage renal failure, proportion on immunosuppressant therapy, HbA1c, and the proportion with only the distal part of a toe necrotic were not statistically significantly different in those that achieved successful autoamputation.
When we assessed patients aged ≥75 years, we observed no significant difference in co-morbidities over time, although the proportions with diabetes, heart failure and arrhythmia decreased.
A high proportion of knowlesi malaria patients admitted to a tertiary care referral hospital in a malaria-endemic area had severe and fatal disease characterized by multiorgan failure, a high proportion with ARDS and shock, and a notable absence of coma.
Each of the LTCs were associated with CMHP, (chi-square p < 0.001), except heart failure where the proportion with CMHP was not significantly different and the 95% confidence intervals for the OR crossed parity (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.07 1.27; Chi-square p = 0.43 n.s).. CMHP were almost twice as common in people with COPD; with one of the strongest associations (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.46 2.11).
Not surprisingly, cardiogenic pulmonary edema was associated with reduced proportion of NIV failure.
