Data from the Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study (CHIPS) Reports up to March 2014* * Numbers are based on reports received rather than children seen to the end of March /14 data are subject to reporting delay and may therefore be incomplete.
Background to CHIPS The Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study (CHIPS) was established in April 2000 and is a multi-centre cohort study of HIV-1 infected children in the UK and Ireland. The collaboration is between – 67 clinics in the UK and Ireland that care for HIV-infected children, some of whom are enrolled in PENTA trials (PENTA 16 BREATHER and PENTA 18 KONCERT) – the National Study of HIV in Pregnancy and Childhood (NSHPC), and – the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL
Follow-up status of 1873 children enrolled in CHIPS * 93 deaths prior to 2008, 6 in 2008, 6 in 2009, 2 in 2010, 1 in 2011

Outcome 5: Description of deaths in 2011 One paediatric death was reported to CHIPS in 2011: The patient died whilst in paediatric care in the South London network with causes of death given as "acute liver failure" and "septic shock". This child presented aged 2 years with a CD4% of 21% and CD4 count of 323c/ml. This child died aged 2 years and had been in follow up for less than a year, and had been seen twice in the 12 months prior to their death. This patient is not known to have taken any ART drugs.
