Future studies are needed to validate our AAUC cutoff across different cohorts and CMV management strategies. CMV non-controllers had worse OS at one-year post-HCT.

Daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) is effective for reducing HIV acquisition among cisgender women. We report results from the first United States observational open-label demonstration project of PrEP among at-risk cisgender women. Adherence Enhancement Guided by Individualized Texting and Drug Levels (AEGiS) was a 48-week single-arm open-label demonstration study of daily oral TDF/FTC in cisgender women ≥18 years old at-risk for HIV. Adherence was supported using two-way text messaging and titrated adherence counseling based on rapid-turnaround tenofovir diphosphate concentrations from dried blood spots. Study visits occurred at baseline, and at weeks 4, 12, and quarterly through week 48. Outcomes included TDF/FTC adherence, retention and persistence. From June 2016 to October 2018, 136 cisgender women enrolled [mean age 40 (SD 11); 38% non-Hispanic (NH) Black and 19% Latina]. At 48 weeks, 84 (62%) participants were retained and 62 (46%) remained on PrEP. Over one-third (12/31) of those on study but off PrEP throughout study discontinued TDF/FTC due to side effects, and one adverse event led to study discontinuation. Of 120 participants with drug concentrations measured, 67 (56%) had at least one concentration consistent with ≥6 doses/week (d/w); 22 (18%) had consistent ≥6 d/w across all study visits attended. There were no incident HIV infections and 4 incident bacterial STIs. Adequate PrEP adherence for protective drug concentrations was not achieved for most study participants. More work needs to be done to fully explicate the reasons for non-adherence and low retention in cisgender women.

Currently, however, there is no systematic approach to measuring sleep regularity. Traditionally, metrics have assessed deviations in sleep patterns from an individual's average. Traditional metrics include intra-individual standard deviation (StDev), Interdaily Stability (IS), and Social Jet Lag (SJL). Two metrics were recently proposed that instead measure variability between consecutive days Composite Phase Deviation (CPD) and Sleep Regularity Index (SRI). Using large-scale simulations, we investigated the theoretical properties of these five metrics. Multiple sleep-wake patterns were systematically simulated, including variability in daily sleep timing and/or duration. Average estimates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for six scenarios that affect measurement of sleep regularity 'scrambling' the order of days; daily vs. weekly variation; naps; awakenings; 'all-nighters'; and length of study. SJL measured weekly but not daily changes. Scrambling did not affect StDev or IS, but did affect CPD and SRI; these metrics, therefore, measure sleep regularity on multi-day and day-to-day timescales, respectively. StDev and CPD did not capture sleep fragmentation. IS and SRI behaved similarly in response to naps and awakenings but differed markedly for all-nighters. Cytidine 5′-triphosphate DNA chemical StDev and IS required over a week of sleep-wake data for unbiased estimates, whereas CPD and SRI required larger sample sizes to det
