Table 2

Average values of survival time (months) after diagnosis of HIV infection in 261 of 284 autopsies of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, in which it was possible to obtain this information, according to the study groups.

Group	A	B	C	All cases
	𝑁=145	𝑁=71	𝑁=45	𝑁=261
Mean	11.2	25.8	49.1	21.7
Standard deviation	26.1	30.6	30.0	31.2
Median	1	11	48	6
Min-max value	0–192	0–132	6–144	0–192

Group A: without use of any antiretroviral medication; B: 1 or 2 antiretroviral therapy or HAART for any time less than 3 months; C: HAART for 3 months or more; min: minimum, max: maximum. 𝑁: number of cases it was possible to obtain the survival time. Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn: 𝑃<0.001 when comparing all groups.
