Abstract

This paper contains details of methods and full results of estimates of the incubation period of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that were outlined in a previous paper by Medley et al. (Nature, Lond. 328, 719 (1987)). The original model is modified to assess the influence of age and sex on the incubation period: age, but not sex, is statistically significant. The difficulties associated with interpretation of these data, and the additional information that would be required to resolve these difficulties are discussed.

摘要

本文包含了获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）潜伏期估计方法的详细信息及完整结果，这些内容在Medley等人先前发表于《自然》（伦敦，第328卷，第719页，1987年）的一篇论文中已有概述。对原始模型进行了修改，以评估年龄和性别对潜伏期的影响：结果表明，年龄具有统计学意义，而性别没有。文中讨论了这些数据解读方面的困难，以及解决这些困难所需的额外信息。
