Antiretroviral therapy optimisation without genotype resistance testing : a perspective on treatment history based models by Prosperi, Mattia C. F., Sloot, Peter M. A., van de Vijver, David A. M. C., Rosen-Zvi, Michal, Altmann, André, Zazzi, Maurizio, Schülter, Eugen, Struck, Daniel, Di Giambenedetto, Simona, Kaiser, Rolf, Vandamme, Anne-Mieke, Sönnerborg, Anders

“…Although genotypic resistance testing (GRT) is recommended to guide combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), funding and/or facilities to perform GRT may not be available in low to middle income countries. Since treatment history (TH) impacts response to subsequent therapy, we investigated a set of statistical learning models to optimise cART in the absence of GRT information. …”
