متن کاملLaboratory monitoring to guide switching antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings: clinical benefits and cost-effectiveness.
BACKGROUND As second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) availability increases in resource-limited settings, questions about the value of laboratory monitoring remain. We assessed the outcomes and cost-effectiveness (CE) of laboratory monitoring to guide switching ART. METHODS We used a computer model to project life expectancy and costs of different strategies to guide ART switching in patien...
متن کاملMonitoring HIV antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings: time to avoid costly outcomes.
There has been a dramatic and commendable rapid scale-up of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and care services in resource-limited settings, including sub-Saharan Africa in the past 5 years; thousands of lives have been saved, and 13 million people are now receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although much remains to be done to continue the scale-up of HIV prevention, care, and ...
متن کاملThe Cost-Effectiveness of Monitoring Strategies for Antiretroviral Therapy of HIV Infected Patients in Resource-Limited Settings: Software Tool
BACKGROUND The cost-effectiveness of routine viral load (VL) monitoring of HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) depends on various factors that differ between settings and across time. Low-cost point-of-care (POC) tests for VL are in development and may make routine VL monitoring affordable in resource-limited settings. We developed a software tool to study the cost-effectivene...
