Data Description

This dataset contains spirometry measurement data collected from 197 children and adolescents living with perinatal HIV and stable on ART. It records forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) . Participants were instructed to take a deep breath and breathe out as much air as quickly as possible into a spirometer. 130 participants had a repeated measurement approximately 18 months later.

Access to this dataset is restricted to protect study participants. Researchers wishing to obtain the dataset must submit an access request, outlining the research purpose in which it will be used, ethics approvals obtained, and list the specific variables requested. The request will be evaluated by a study committee and, if approved, a data transfer agreement for signing prior to being provided with the dataset. Any participant-identifiable information contained within the dataset will be removed or disguised prior to being provided.
