The model follows patients on antiretroviral therapy from 2010 to 2035 or death. The model simulates how patients age over time and develop clinical events, including non-communicable diseases or death. The model takes into account key interactions between demographic factors (blue), e.g. how age and gender can impact risk of death, and clinical factors (green) e.g how hypertension can increase the risk of chronic kidney disease or death.
