Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the impact of intermittent use of triple drug antiretroviral therapy on survival. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Population-based analysis of 1282 antiretroviral therapy naive HIV-positive individuals aged 18 years and older in British Columbia who started triple-combination therapy between August 1996 and December 1999. Therapy use was estimated by dividing the number of months of medications dispensed by the number of months of follow-up. Intermittent therapy was defined as the participant having obtained less than 75% of their medication in the first 12 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Cumulative all-cause mortality rates from the start of triple drug antiretroviral therapy to 30 September 2000. RESULTS: As of 30 September 2000, 106 subjects had died. Cumulative mortality was 3.9% (+/- 0.5%) at 12 months. In a multivariate model, after controlling for other variables that were significant in the univariate analyses each 100 cell decrement in baseline CD4 cell count and the intermittent use of antiretroviral drugs were associated with increased mortality with risk ratios of 1.31 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.16-1.49; P < 0.001] and 2.90 (95% CI, 1.93-4.36; P < 0.001), respectively. In order to control for downward drift, intermittent use of therapy was measured over the first year whereas other factors were measured at the end of year 1. After adjusting for all other factors, those participants who used antiretroviral drugs intermittently were 2.97 times (95% CI, 1.33-6.62; P = 0.008) more likely to die. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that even after adjusting for other prognostic factors intermittent use of antiretroviral therapy was associated with increased mortality.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
