Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive individuals lost to follow-up from particular clinics may not be lost to care (LTC). After linking Vanderbilt's Comprehensive Care Clinic cohort to Tennessee's statewide HIV surveillance database, LTC decreased from 48.4% to 35.0% at 10 years. Routine surveillance linkage by domestic HIV clinics would improve LTC and retention measure accuracy.
来自特定诊所的失访人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)阳性个体可能并未失去医疗照护(LTC)。在将范德比尔特综合医疗诊所队列与田纳西州全州范围的HIV监测数据库建立关联后,10年时失访率从48.4%降至35.0%。国内HIV诊所的常规监测关联将提高失访率及留存率测量的准确性。
