Abstract Summary
Researchers have developed practical tools—a nomogram and web calculator—to help antiretroviral treatment programs accurately adjust mortality estimates when patients are lost to follow-up. These resources address a critical gap in HIV care monitoring, enabling more precise assessment of treatment program outcomes.

New tool helps HIV programs in Africa accurately measure patient mortality by accounting for those lost to follow-up, improving treatment program evaluation and outcomes assessment.
