Point-of-care C-reactive protein and risk of early mortality among adults initiating antiretroviral therapy

Among PLWH with advanced HIV, elevated pre-ART POC CRP concentrations are associated with early mortality and opportunistic infections. Pre-ART POC CRP testing may reduce mortality by identifying patients at high risk for poor outcomes.
