To evaluate the antiretroviral activity of antiretroviral agents and to compare the effects of two different antiretroviral agents, we propose a non-parametric mixed-effects model to investigate change of CD4+ counts. The proposed model and methods are applied to analyse the data from PACTG345 study. Population and individual patterns of change of CD4+ counts and a reference band are obtained. Our results indicate that treatment with high-dose ritonavir is significantly superior compared with low-dose ritonavir.
为评估抗逆转录病毒药物的抗逆转录病毒活性并比较两种不同抗逆转录病毒药物的效果,我们提出一种非参数混合效应模型来研究CD4 +细胞计数的变化。将所提出的模型和方法应用于分析来自PACTG345研究的数据。获得了CD4 +细胞计数变化的总体和个体模式以及一个参考区间。我们的结果表明,高剂量利托那韦治疗显著优于低剂量利托那韦。
