Spillover adherence effects of fixed-dose combination HIV therapy.
Patient Prefer Adherence. 2012; 6: 155-64
Kauf TL, Davis KL, Earnshaw SR, Davis EA
The impact of fixed-dose combination (FDC) products on adherence to other, non-fixed regimen components has not been examined. We compared adherence to a third antiretroviral (ART) component among patients receiving a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbone consisting of the FDC Epzicom(®), GlaxoSmithKline Inc, Research Triangle Park, NC (abacavir sulfate 600 mg + lamivudine 300 mg; FDC group) versus NRTI combinations taken as two separate pills (NRTI Combo group) using data from a national sample of 30 health plans covering approximately 38 million lives from 1997 to 2005. Adherence was measured as the medication possession ratio (MPR). Multivariate logistic regression compared treatment groups based on the likelihood of achieving ≥95% adherence, with sensitivity analyses using alternative thresholds. MPR was assessed as a continuous variable using multivariate linear regression. Covariates included age, gender, insurance payer type, year of study drug initiation, presence of mental health and substance abuse disorders, and third agent class. The study sample consisted of 650 FDC and 1947 NRTI Combo patients. Unadjusted mean adherence to the third agent was higher in the FDC group than the NRTI Combo group (0.92 vs 0.85; P < 0.0001). In regression analyses, FDC patients were 48% and 39% more likely to achieve 95% and 90% third agent adherence, respectively (P ≤ 0.03). None of the other MPR specifications achieved comparable results. Among managed care patients, use of an FDC appears to substantially improve adherence to a third regimen component and thus the likelihood of achieving the accepted standard for adherence to HIV therapy of 95%.

Open Question: Shortness of Breath/Difficulty Breathing?
I am 25 years old (as of March 5th) and I have been having trouble taking a deep breath for over a month now. I feel breathless at times, but mostly I just struggle to take deep breaths. I feel light-headed and dizzy. I feel like it's ruining my life! I never want to do anything... Sometimes the breathing issue gets better, but never completely.
I have anxiety/panic disorder, and I also have health-anxiety, so I often obsess over my health. Lately, I have thought I might have lung cancer, benign tumors, COPD, etc... You see, I smoke, and therefore, it makes me think this breathing issue is life-threatening. :'( I DO feel the need to mention that I hyperventilate, but, this breathing issue has lasted so long that I don't think it's just hyperventilation...
I don't cough, I don't hack up phlegm, I don't spit up blood... I might cough a small dry cough here and there, but that's it. However, the muscles in my back feel very tense all the time, and my back cracks a lot... Not sure if that could mean anything.
I went to Urgent Care around when this problem first started (a little over a month ago) and the doc said my lungs/heart "sounded good", and she said my breathing issue is due to my anxiety (hyperventilating) and a sinus infection. However, I took the antibiotics she prescribed (yes, I finished the entire bottle), yet still no improvement! But she didn't take any x-rays or anything, so I am still concerned...
My best friend's mother, who is an ER nurse, says she thinks I might have mild asthma.
I am just so scared, and so very tired of this problem. I just want to breathe normally again!
Does anyone have any suggestions, thoughts, comments? Is anyone else experiencing this?
*I don't have health insurance, so if you're going to suggest going to a primary care provider, don't bother, as I can't do so. I also do not have a job at the moment, so going somewhere that I will have to pay is also out of the question.
Please help! ='(
