Longitudinal latent class and joint modelling of antiretroviral adherence by Mcduling, Campbell

“…Utilizing data from the ADD-ART study, a prospective cohort of 238 adults on ART in Cape Town, the research employs survival analysis, joint modeling, and longitudinal latent class analysis to compare di↵erent adherence monitoring tools and examine heterogeneity in adherence behaviors. Key findings include: Electronic Adherence Monitoring (EAM) and tenofovir diphosphate levels in dried blood spots were more strongly associated with viral non-suppression than self-reported adherence; joint modeling revealed a stronger association between EAM adherence and viral outcomes compared to traditional survival models, with each additional missed dose in the preceding 30 days associated with an 81% increase in the hazard of viral non-suppression; longitudinal latent class analysis identified five distinct adherence trajectory groups, with poorer or declining adherence groups experiencing significantly higher rates of viral non-suppression; baseline viral load and prior tuberculosis exposure were significant predictors of subsequent viral non-suppression, even after accounting for adherence. …”
