Evaluation of kidney function among people living with HIV initiating antiretroviral therapy in Zambia.

Is each data point one patient initiating ART (as indicated in the title)? Or are the data points from different stages across the HIV disease journey (as inferred in the abstract – “among a cohort of PLHIV with an HIV care visit” and the methods section – “All individuals with an HIV care clinic visit”)? If these are all data points from ART initiation and some are in an acute inpatient setting whilst others are in an outpatient clinic setting, it will be important to note that there may be significant differences within the cohort in terms of clinical disease.
