Session B: the role of patient databases in assessing antiretroviral treatment

Article Abstract:

Large, automated, multipurpose population-based databases (LAMPS) provide valuable information about antiretroviral drug therapy, combination drug regimens, laboratory markers of disease progression, and patient compliance with therapy in the care of HIV infection and AIDS. LAMPS can identify the most effective combinations of AIDS medications and dosing regimens by combining treatment and outcome data from many patients.
