This project is using the TX_PVLS indicator for our proof of concept.


This indicator represents the percentage of ART patients with a suppressed viral load (VL) result (<1000 copies/ml) documented in the medical or laboratory records/laboratory information systems (LIS) within the past 12 months 
  • Numerator  
    • Number of adult and pediatric patients on ART with suppressed viral load results (<1,000 copies/ml) documented in the medical records and /or supporting laboratory results within the past 12 months.
    • We will consider patients with result from  CIEL:856 with a threshold of < 1000 copies / mL as the standard for viral load suppression  and in case the patient does not have a CIEL:856 result, we will consider results  CIEL:1305 where the value is (BEYOND DETECTABLE LIMIT) CIEL:1306
  • Denominator
    • Number of adult and pediatric ART patients with a viral load result documented in the patient medical record and/or laboratory records in the past 12 month
    • We will consider patients with a relevant CIEL:1305 result but only if the patient does not have a CIEL:856 result
  • Concepts to consider     
    • CIEL:856  (for quantitative values )
      Fully Specified Name :HIV VIRAL LOAD
      Mappings: Same as SNOMED CT   315124004
    • CIEL:1305  (for qualitative values , in case the patient doesn't have a quantitative value).
      Fully Specified Name: HIV VIRAL LOAD, QUALITATIVE
      Mappings: Same as SNOMED MVP 13051000105000, Narrower-than SNOMED 315124004
