Objective: To investigate the relationship between viral load suppression and baseline viral load as well as that between viral load suppression and baseline CD4+ cell count. Design: Meta‐analysis of published and presented studies. Methods: Trials of two nucleoside analogs plus nevirapine, indinavir, nelfinavir, or efavirenz as therapy for antiretroviral treatment‐naive patients with HIV infection or AIDS who were followed‐up for at least 6 months were included in the meta‐analysis. The proportion of patients with viral loads of <200‐500 copies/ml at 6 and 12 months (total number of patients, 1619 and 761, respectively) was regressed to the mean or median baseline viral load and CD4+ cell count. Results: Thirty‐six treatment arms from 30 studies were identified. Multivariate regression demonstrated a significant correlation between baseline CD4+ cell count and virologic suppression at 6 and 12 months (t = 2.85, p = .008; and t = 3.08, p = .010, respectively) but not between baseline viral load and virologic suppression (t = 0.92, p = .365; and t = 1.31, p = .215, respectively). The same pattern was seen in a subanalysis of trials of nevirapine‐containing therapy (CD4+ cell count: t = 2.89, p = .014 at 6 months; viral load suppression: t = 0.84, p = .415). Conclusions: Baseline CD4+ cell count was a better predictor of virologic suppression induced by triple combination therapy than was baseline viral load.
