Early ART vs standard or deferred ART (CD4 <= 200 or CD4 <= 250 cells/µl): Death
- Population
- patients with asymptomatic, HIV‐infected, treatment naive adults
- Intervention
- Early ART
- Comparison
- standard or deferred ART (CD4 <= 200 or CD4 <= 250 cells/µl)
- Outcome
- Death
Early ART probably leads to lower death compared with standard or deferred ART (CD4 <= 200 or CD4 <= 250 cells/µl) (moderate certainty).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
