Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide a large, multi-center normative dataset for the Macular Integrity Assessment (MAIA) microperimeter and compare the goodness-of-fit and prediction interval calibration-error for a panel of hill-of-vision models.
Methods: Microperimetry examinations of healthy eyes from five independent study groups and one previously available dataset were included (1137 tests from 531 eyes of 432 participants [223 women and 209 men]). Linear mixed models (LMMs) were fitted to the data to obtain interpretable hill-of-vision models.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between antiretroviral therapy (ART) and common medications used by women living with HIV, highlighting their impact on treatment effectiveness and safety.
- The research found that 21.4% of participants experienced DDIs, with the highest rates among those taking cardiovascular and central nervous system medications.
- Importantly, the presence of DDIs was linked to changes in ART regimens and poorer adherence to treatment, suggesting a need for careful monitoring of interactions in HIV care.
