The incidence of peripheral neuropathy (PN) among adults initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) containing stavudine (d4T) versus zidovudine (ZDV) is not well described. We compared 1-year incidence between d4T- and ZDV-based regimens in adults initiating ART in a programmatic setting in Kenya. Of 1,848 adults on ART, 1,579 (85 %) initiated d4T-based and 269 (15 %) initiated ZDV-based regimens. One-year incidence of symptomatic PN per 100 person-years was 21.9 (n=236) among d4T users and 6.9 (n=7) among ZDV users (P=0.0002). D4T was associated with 2.7 greater risk of PN than ZDV (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.7, P=0.009). In settings with continued d4T use, such as Africa, the effects of d4T on PN compared to ZDV should be considered when choosing ART regimens.
开始使用含司他夫定(d4T)或齐多夫定(ZDV)的抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)的成年人中周围神经病变(PN)的发生率尚未很好地描述。我们比较了在肯尼亚一个规划环境中开始 ART 的成年人中,基于 d4T 和 ZDV 的方案在一年内的发生率。在 1848 名接受 ART 的成年人中,1579 名(85%)开始使用 d4T 为基础的方案,269 名(15%)开始使用 ZDV 为基础的方案。d4T 使用者中每 100 人年发生症状性 PN 的发生率为 21.9(n=236),ZDV 使用者为 6.9(n=7)(P=0.0002)。d4T 发生 PN 的风险比 ZDV 高 2.7 倍(调整后的危险比,2.7,P=0.009)。在继续使用 d4T 的环境中,例如非洲,在选择 ART 方案时,应考虑 d4T 与 ZDV 相比对 PN 的影响。
