Risk and Cost Associated With Drug-Drug Interactions Among Aging HIV Patients Receiving Combined Antiretroviral Therapy in France.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to describe the frequency, risk factors, and costs attributable to drug-drug interactions (DDIs) among an aging French HIV population.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using French nationwide health care e-records: the SNIIRAM database. People living with HIV (PLWH) aged >65 years and receiving combined antiretroviral treatment (cART) during 2016 were included. A DDI was defined as "These drugs should not be co-administered," represented by a red symbol on the University of Liverpool website. Attributable DDIs' cost was defined as the difference between individuals with and without DDIs regarding all reimbursed health care acts.

Results

Overall, 9076 PLWH met the study criteria. Their baseline characteristics were: mean age, 71.3 ± 4.9 years; 25% female; median HIV duration (interquartile range [IQR]), 16.2 (9.5-20.3) years; median comorbidities (IQR), 2 (1-3). During 2016, they received a median (IQR) of 14 (9-21) comedications (non-cART), and 1529 individuals had at least 1 DDI (16.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 16.1-17.6). In multivariate analysis, raltegravir or dolutegravir plus 2 nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) significantly and independently reduced the risk of DDIs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.02; 95% CI, 0.005-0.050; P < .0001) compared with non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor plus 2 NRTIs, whereas cART with boosted agents (protease inhibitors or elvitegravir) significantly increased the risk (aOR, 4.12; 95% CI, 3.34-5.10; P < .0001). Compared with propensity score-matched PLWH without DDIs, the presence of DDIs was associated with a $2693 additional cost per year (P < .0001).

Conclusions

The presence of DDIs is frequent and significantly increases health care costs in the aging population of PLWH.

Project description:Stavudine (D4T), zidovudine (AZT), and tenofovir (TDF) along with lamivudine (3TC) are the most widely used HIV treatment regimens in China. China's National Free Antiretroviral Treatment Programme (NFATP) has replaced D4T with AZT or TDF in the standard first-line regimens since 2010. Few studies have evaluated the adherence, virological outcome, and drug resistance in HIV patients receiving first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 2011 to 2015 due to changes in ART regimen.From 2011 to 2015, 2787 HIV patients were examined, with 364, 1453, and 970 patients having initiated D4T-, AZT-, and TDF-based first-line ART regimens, respectively. The Cochran-Armitage test was used to examine the trends in clinical and virological outcomes during 2011 to 2015. Logistic regression was used to examine the effects of different regimens after 9 to 24 months of ART.From 2011 to 2014-2015, adverse drug reactions decreased from 18.9% to 6.7%, missed doses decreased from 9.9% to 4.6%, virological failure decreased from 16.2% to 6.4%, and drug resistance rates also significantly decreased from 5.4% to 1.1%. These successes were strongly associated with the standardized use of TDF- or AZT-based regimens in place of the D4T-based regimen. Poor adherence decreased from 11.3% in patients who initiated D4T-based regimens to 4.9% in those who initiated TDF-based regimens, adverse drug reactions decreased from 32.4% to 6.7%, virological failure reduced from 18.7% to 8.6%, and drug resistance reduced from 5.8% to 2.9%. Compared with patients who initiated AZT-based regimens, patients who initiated TDF-based regiments showed significant reductions in adherence issues, adverse drug reactions, virological outcomes, and drug resistance. Significant differences were also observed between those who initiated D4T- and AZT-based regimens.The good control of HIV replication and drug resistance was attributed to the success of China's NFATP from 2011 to 2015. This study provided real world evidence for further scaling up ART and minimizing the emergence of drug resistance in the "Three 90" era.
