The ASSET age/sex weightings should be used as a guide, not as the ultimate determinant, for an equitable allocation of prescribing resources to regional authorities and general practices.
The learning session terminates when the learner either logs out of the system or consumes all prescribed learning resources.
The ASSET model is a useful tool to support the process of long term healthcare policy planning as well as the equitable allocation of annual prescribing resources to regional authorities.
Many priority-setting principles, prescribing how resources should be allocated, have been proposed.
However, individualized genetic testing or therapeutic drug monitoring is unlikely to be widely deployed to guide personalized prescribing in resource-limited settings.
Although there have been recommendations to shift away from using drugs associated with severe adverse events, such as stavudine, toward better-tolerated tenofovir-based formulations, stavudine is still commonly prescribed in many resource-limited settings.
Multivariate analyses were carried out on demographic characteristics, treatment costs based on the prescribed daily dose, resource use and other cost parameters, and changes in quality of life using the EQ5D questionnaire.
The resource use questions will capture details covering a broad range of health care resources, including prescribed medications, primary care and secondary care (inpatient and outpatient) attendances, treatments and investigations.

Infants in the AAF group used significantly more health care resources and prescribed drugs than infants in the other two groups.
