RESUMO
It is unknown how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted traditional measures of retention in HIV care. We calculated six different retention measures at an urban HIV care clinic for two time periods: pre-pandemic, and during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, with and without inclusion of telehealth appointments. Spearman rank correlation was used to assess correlation between different measures of retention. For both the pre-pandemic and pandemic time periods, there was strong correlation among measures of missed visits (range 0.857-0.957). More patients were considered retained in care during the pandemic when telehealth appointments were included in the analysis.
