很少有研究比较相同患者在开始抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)前后的住院率。我们分析了南非两家医院的3906名成人患者的住院费用，其中30%的患者发起了抗逆转录病毒治疗。以CD4细胞计数计算，住院频率分别增加50%和40%，费用分别增加1.5倍和2.6倍
Few studies have compared hospitalizations before and after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation in the same patients. We analyzed the cost of hospitalizations among 3906 adult patients in 2 South African hospitals, 30% of whom initiated ART. Hospitalizations were 50% and 40% more frequent and 1.5 and 2.6 times more costly at a CD4 cell count
