Abstract

[...] programmes modelled on DART clinical monitoring will still need to build, staff, and equip laboratories to provide essential tests. [...] although the overall risks of WHO stage 4 events or death may be higher under poorer clinical care with or without routine laboratory monitoring, differences in outcomes between routine and clinically driven laboratory monitoring would, if anything, be even smaller than seen in DART.
