This data set includes tables on persons living with HIV/AIDS, newly diagnosed HIV cases and all cause deaths in HIV/AIDS cases by gender, age, race/ethnicity and transmission category.

In all tables, cases are reported as of December 31 of the given year, as reported by January 9, 2019, to allow a minimum of 12 months reporting delay.

Gender is determined by both current gender and sex at birth variables; transgender values are assigned when current gender is identified as "Transgender" or when a discrepancy is identified between a person's sex at birth and their current gender (e.g., cases where sex at birth is "Male" and current gender is "Female" will become Transgender: Male to Female.) Prior to 2003, Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders were classified as one combined group. In order to present these race/ethnicities separately, living cases recorded under this combined classification were split and redistributed according to their expected proportional population representation estimated from post-2003 data.

Introduction

• HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) which currently has no cure. Once people get HIV, they have it for life. But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. Symptoms: Influenza-like illness; Fatigue… Treatments: Management of HIV/AIDS Type of infectious agent: Virus (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) • AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is the name used to describe a number of potentially life-threatening infections and illnesses that happen when one’s immune system has been severely damaged by the HIV virus. While AIDS cannot be transmitted from 1 person to another, the HIV virus can.

Dataset

The data set contains data of the following:- 1. The top causes of deaths in the world 2. Total number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS 3. ART (Anti Retro-viral Therapy) coverage among people living with HIV 4. Knowledge among young citizens (15-24years) about HIV/AIDS 5. Population of HIV/AIDS patients living with TB and their death rate 6. Life expectancy rate among HIV/AIDS patients 7. HIV/AIDS Patients in different age groups 8. Women population living with HIV 9. Young women in India having the knowledge of HIV/AIDS 10. HIV/AIDS deaths in Indian states

Data was scrapped from the official website of UNICEF -https://data.unicef.org/ and https://data.gov.in/

Ask Phase

• Data gives the trend of increasing no. of HIV/AIDS patients across the world • The information available for each country is percentage of total Global AIDS patients • Time period traced is 2000-2019 • Key Questions to answer:  Which countries and regions are affected the most?  How are the different age groups affected?  How much is the ART (Anti Retro-viral Therapy) coverage among the patients and what is the life expectancy rate?  What percentage of the population is aware of the prevention and causes of HIV/AIDS

Prepare phase.

• By tabulating and filtering the data the required data was obtained to bring out observations. • Data was formatted to the desired format to perform further calculations. • Sorting of data region wise. • Columns with inconsistent and empty cells were deleted. • The data of India was extracted for further analysis • Duplicate entries and undesired data was removed

Process phase

For cleaning the dataset for further analysis MS Excel was used due to small data. • Used sumifs() functions to aggregate the data region wise • Used sumif() to segregate the no. of patients within different age groups • Used sumifs() to find the total number of TB patients among HIV deaths. • Used countif() to find the percentage of male and female patients. • Sorted data to find the top and bottom nation with most and least HIV/AIDS patients

Analyze phase

• Formed the following pivot tables to answer key target questions  Year v/s number of death rates  Country v/s death numbers to bring out nation wise deaths  Causes of death v/s the number of deaths to bring at which position AIDS causes causality  Year v/s percentage of life expectancy to observe the pattern of no. of survivors

Visualization phase

The data was visualized using Tableau.

ART not only saves lives but also gives a chance for people living with HIV/AIDS to live long lives. Without ART very few infected people survive beyond ten years.1

Today, a person living in a high-income country who started ART in their twenties can expect to live for another 46 years — that is well into their 60s.2

While the life expectancy of people living with HIV/AIDS in high-income countries has still not reached the life expectancy of the general population, we are getting closer to this goal.3

The combination of antiretroviral drugs which make-up ART have progressively improved. Recent research shows that a person who started ART in the late 1990s would be expected to live ten years less than a person who started ART in 2008.4 This increase goes beyond the general increase in life expectancy in that period and reflects the improvements in ART — fewer side effects, more people following the prescribed treatment, and more support for the people in need of ART.

Effect of suicide rates on life expectancy dataset

Abstract
In 2015, approximately 55 million people died worldwide, of which 8 million committed suicide. In the USA, one of the main causes of death is the aforementioned suicide, therefore, this experiment is dealing with the question of how much suicide rates affects the statistics of average life expectancy.
The experiment takes two datasets, one with the number of suicides and life expectancy in the second one and combine data into one dataset. Subsequently, I try to find any patterns and correlations among the variables and perform statistical test using simple regression to confirm my assumptions.

Data

The experiment uses two datasets - WHO Suicide Statistics[1] and WHO Life Expectancy[2], which were firstly appropriately preprocessed. The final merged dataset to the experiment has 13 variables, where country and year are used as index: Country, Year, Suicides number, Life expectancy, Adult Mortality, which is probability of dying between 15 and 60 years per 1000 population, Infant deaths, which is number of Infant Deaths per 1000 population, Alcohol, which is alcohol, recorded per capita (15+) consumption, Under-five deaths, which is number of under-five deaths per 1000 population, HIV/AIDS, which is deaths per 1 000 live births HIV/AIDS, GDP, which is Gross Domestic Product per capita, Population, Income composition of resources, which is Human Development Index in terms of income composition of resources, and Schooling, which is number of years of schooling.

Infection with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). AIDS results in a gradual and persistent decline and failure of the immune system, resulting in a heightened risk of life-threatening infection and cancers.

In the majority of cases, HIV is a sexually transmitted infection. However, HIV can also be transmitted from mother to child, during pregnancy or childbirth, or through breastfeeding. Non-sexual transmission can also occur by sharing injection equipment such as needles.

HIV/AIDS is one of the world's most fatal infectious disease More than three-quarters of a million people die from HIV/AIDS each year; in some countries, it's the leading cause of death HIV/AIDS is one of the world's most fatal infectious diseases – particularly across Sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease has had a massive impact on health outcomes and life expectancy in recent decades.

The Global Burden of Disease is a major global study on the causes of death and disease published in the medical journal The Lancet.1 These estimates of the annual number of deaths by cause are shown here. This chart shows the global total but can be explored for any country or region using the "Change country" button.

ObjectiveTo investigate if plasma HIV-1 tropism testing could identify subjects at higher risk for clinical progression and death in routine clinical management.DesignNested case-control study within the EuroSIDA cohort.MethodsCases were subjects with AIDS or who died from any cause, with a plasma sample with HIV-1 RNA >1000 copies/mL available for tropism testing 3 to 12 months prior to the event. At least 1 control matched for age, HIV-1 RNA and HCV status at the time of sampling were selected per each case. Conditional logistic regression was used to investigate exposures associated with clinical progression to AIDS or death. A linear mixed model with random intercept was used to compare CD4+T-cell slopes by HIV tropism over the 12 months following the date of sampling.ResultsThe study included 266 subjects, 100 cases and 166 controls; one quarter had X4 HIV; 26% were ART-naïve. Baseline factors independently associated with clinical progression or death were female gender (OR = 2.13 vs. male, 95CI = 1.04, 4.36), p = 0.038), CD4+T-cell count (OR = 0.90 (95CI = 0.80, 1.00) per 100 cells/mm3 higher, p = 0.058), being on ART (OR = 2.72 vs. being off-ART (95CI = 1.15, 6.41), p = 0.022) and calendar year of sample [OR = 0.84 (95CI = 0.77, 0.91) per more recent year, p<0.001). Baseline tropism was not associated with the risk of clinical progression or death. CD4+T-cell slopes did not differ within or between tropism groups.ConclusionsThe predictive role of plasma tropism determined using 454 sequencing in the context of people receiving cART with detectable VL is not helpful to identify subjects at higher risk for clinical progression to AIDS or death.

Previously, we reported that HIV-1 patients infected with CRF07_BC had significantly lower viral loads than those infected with subtype B. Since HIV-1 viral load is associated with AIDS disease progression, the current study was to link multiple clinical and molecular databases, and compare clinical outcomes of HIV-1patients infected with CRF07_BC, CRF01_AE and subtype B in Taiwan. Molecular genotyping data of 2,982 HIV-1/AIDS patients were submitted to Taiwan CDC HIV-1/AIDS case management database. Then the database was linked to Taiwan National Health Insurance Research database and National Cause of Death database from 2000−2016. Subsequently, a subtype-based HIV/AIDS clinical database containing 1,605 patients including 858 (53.5%) subtype B, 690 (43.0%) CRF07_BC and 57 (3.5%) CRF01_AE patients was successfully established and the clinical outcomes and survival of these patients were analyzed. Analysis of transmission route showed this HIV-1/AIDS cohort consists of 761 (47.4%) men who have sex with men (MSM), 132 (8.2%) heterosexuals and 712 (44.4%) injection drug user (IDUs). Survival analysis showed subtype B patients had a significantly lower death rate (8.2%) than CRF07_BC and CRF01-AE patients (22.8% and 22.8%, respectively). The higher death rate for CRF07_BC versus subtype B patients could be largely influenced by transmission route (IDU: 95.7% vs. 3.9%; MSM: 85.8% vs. 2.0%), as well as lower ART uptake rates (69.9% vs. 96.3%). Indeed, subset analysis among IDU patients, CRF07_BC-infected patients had a better 16-year survival rate than patients infected with subtype B (74.3% vs. 45.7%, p 

At the end of 2007, 33.2 million adults and children were estimated to be living with HIV / AIDS in the world. Since the start of the epidemic in 1981, nearly 25 million people have died of AIDS. During the year 2007, it was estimated that there were 2.5 million people newly infected with HIV and there were 2.1 million AIDS deaths.

Analysis of ‘Death Cause by Country’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://www.kaggle.com/majyhain/death-cause-by-country on 13 February 2022.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

Context

Across low- and middle-income countries, mortality from infectious disease, malnutrition, nutritional deficiencies, neonatal and maternal deaths are common – and in some cases, dominant. In Kenya, for example, diarrheal infections are still the primary cause of death. HIV/AIDS is the major cause of death in South Africa and Botswana. However, in high-income countries, the proportion of deaths due by these causes is quite low.

Content

The dataset contains thirty two columns and contains the death causes by All Genders (Male, Female) and by all age group.
