Whereas HAART initiated at CD4 cell counts 351-450 cells/ml reduces mortality, compared with starting at lower CD4 levels, there is currently no evidence for the advantages of initiating treatment at CD4 cell counts greater than 450 cells/ml.
Mortality hazard, as a function of CD4 cell count, was estimated among postpartum HIV-positive women in Zimbabwe, using HIV-negative women as the reference group.
Mortality within 24 months postpartum was 54 times higher among women with CD4 cell counts less than 200 cells/ml, fell to 5.4 times higher for those with CD4 cell counts 400-600 cells/ml but fell little thereafter. For CD4 cell counts greater than 600 cells/ml the hazard was 6.2 (95% confidence interval 3.2-11.9).
Early HAART initiation for all HIV-positive pregnant women may benefit individual mothers and infants, and simultaneously reduce population HIV incidence.
与在 CD4 细胞计数低于 351 个细胞/ml 时开始接受 HAART 相比,在 CD4 细胞计数 351-450 个细胞/ml 时开始接受 HAART 可降低死亡率,但目前尚无证据表明在 CD4 细胞计数高于 450 个细胞/ml 时开始治疗有优势。
采用 HIV 阴性女性作为参照组,评估津巴布韦产后 HIV 阳性女性中 CD4 细胞计数与死亡率之间的关系。
产后 24 个月内,CD4 细胞计数小于 200 个细胞/ml 的女性死亡率是 HIV 阴性女性的 54 倍,CD4 细胞计数为 400-600 个细胞/ml 的女性死亡率下降到 5.4 倍,但此后死亡率下降幅度不大。CD4 细胞计数大于 600 个细胞/ml 的女性的风险为 6.2(95%置信区间为 3.2-11.9)。
所有 HIV 阳性孕妇均早期开始 HAART 治疗可能使母婴个体受益,同时降低人群 HIV 发病率。
