Mortality predictor score in hospitalised patients HIV-associated TB in Africa dataset - User Guide

Permanent Identifier

https://doi.org/10.17037/DATA.00001026.

Data Description

This dataset contains details of hospital patients with HIV-associated tuberculosis in sub-Saharan Africa from the STAMP clinical trial. It was generated to derive predictor score for mortality including urine lipoarabinomannan detection. Variables include: age, sex, weight, living status, number of day in follow-up, ART treatment, WHO danger sign, Haemoglobin level, ability to walk, and urine LAM positivity.

Data Collection Methods

Demographic data was collected verbally and recorded on a form. Clinical data was produced through clinical observation and laboratory testing.

Data Analysis and Preparation

Dataset was generated to derive predictor score for mortality including urine lipoarabinomannan detection.
