Patient-reported outcomes
Not captured in the randomized trials of dolutegravir are
subjective measures of a patient’s health – termed “patientreported
outcomes”. A number of assessment tools have
been evaluated, principally among those receiving NNRTIor
PI-based regimens, but none are sufficiently robust for
widespread adoption.78 When these infrequently ascertained
measures are assessed, as in SINGLE, dolutegravir is not
inferior to tenofovir–emtricitabine–efavirenz.
