To improve upon adherence assessment in children with HIV, multimethod adherence strategies (pill count, missed doses, off-schedule dosing) were conducted concurrent with viral load and CD4% biomarker assays. Off-schedule dosing predicted both health status markers, while the more common strategies did not. Findings support inclusion of off-schedule dosing concurrent with collection of biomarkers to assess adherence in children with HIV.
为了提高对 HIV 感染儿童的服药依从性评估,采用了多种方法(药物计数、漏服剂量、不按时服药)进行依从性评估,同时进行病毒载量和 CD4%生物标志物检测。不按时服药预测了这两个健康状况标志物,而更常见的方法则没有。研究结果支持在采集生物标志物的同时纳入不按时服药来评估 HIV 感染儿童的服药依从性。
