Title: St' Georges Hospital HIV specialist Clinic
1Data from the Collaborative HIV Paediatric
Study (CHIPS) Reports up to March 2008
Numbers are based on reports received rather than
children seen to the end of March 2008. 2007/8
data are subject to reporting delay and may
therefore be incomplete.
2Background to CHIPS
- The Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study (CHIPS)
was established in April 2000 as a multi-centre
cohort study of HIV infected children in the UK
and Ireland. - The collaboration is between
- 59 centres in the UK and Ireland that care for
HIV-infected children, 16 of whom have 75
children currently enrolled in PENTA trials - the National Study of HIV in Pregnancy and
Childhood (NSHPC), and - the MRC Clinical Trials Unit
3Follow-up status of 1460 children enrolled in
CHIPS
83 deaths prior to 2005, 3 in 2005, 4 in 2006,
1 in 2007.

Retrospective data on admissions not collected
for children from centres joining since Aug 2003.
These children are counted from when they begin
prospective follow-up in CHIPS. Admissions may be
underreported for children in shared care where
only information from the main CHIPS follow-up
centre is reported. Data for 2007/8 are
incomplete and are not presented.
