Impact of adherence on duration of virological suppression among patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of adherence to antiretroviral therapy on the duration of virological suppression after controlling for whether or not the patient ever attained a plasma viral load below the limit of detection of sensitive HIV-1 RNA assays. METHODS: Data were combined from three randomized, blinded clinical trials (INCAS, AVANTI-2, and AVANTI-3) that compared the antiviral effects of two- and three-drug antiretroviral regimens. Virological suppression was defined as maintaining a plasma viral load below 1000 copies/mL. Adherence was defined prospectively and measured by patient self-report. RESULTS: Adherence did not have a major impact on the probability of achieving virological suppression for patients receiving dual therapy. However, for patients receiving triple therapy, adherence increased the probability of virological suppression, whether the plasma viral load nadir was above or below the lower limit of quantification. Compared to adherent patients with a plasma viral load nadir below the lower limit of quantification, the relative risk of virological failure was 3.0 for non-adherent patients with a nadir below the limit, 18.1 for adherent patients with a nadir above the limit, and 32.1 for non-adherent patients with a nadir above the limit. CONCLUSION: For patients receiving current three-drug antiretroviral regimens, adherence to therapy and plasma viral load nadir are important factors determining the duration of virological suppression.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
