To determine the prevalence and factors associated with optimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and virological failure (VLF) among HIV-infected adults enrolled in the national ART programme at the teaching hospital of Fann, Dakar, Senegal.
Cross-sectional study from 1 September 2013 to 30 January 2014.
(1) optimal ART adherence by the Center for Adherence Support Evaluation (CASE) Index Score (>10) and (2) VLF (HIV RNA > 1000 copies/ml). Diagnostic accuracy of CASE Index Score assessed using sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors associated with optimal adherence and VLF.
Of 98 HIV-infected patients on ART, 68% were female. The median (IQR) age was 42 (20-50) years. A total of 57 of 98 (60%) were on ART more than 3 years, and majority (88%) were on NNRTI-based first-line ART regimen. A total of 79 of 98 (80%) patients reported optimal ART adherence, and only five of 84 (5.9%) had documented VLF. Patients with VLF were significantly more likely to have suboptimal ART adherence (17.7% vs. 2.9%; P = 0.02). CASE Index Score showed the best trade-off in Se (78.9%, 95% CI: 54.4-93.9%), Sp (20.0%, 95% CI: 11.1-31.7), PPV (22.4, 95% CI: 13.1-34.2%) and NPV (76.5%, 95% CI: 50.1-93.2), when used VLF threshold of HIV RNA >50 copies/ml. Factors independently associated with VLF were CASE Index Score <10 ([aOR] = 13.0, 95% CI: 1.1-147.9; P = 0.04) and being a boosted PI-based ART regimen ([aOR] = 27.0, 95% CI: 2.4-309.4; P = 0.008).
Optimal ART adherence is achievable in a high proportion of HIV-infected adults in this study population. CASE Index Score was independently associated with virological outcomes, supporting usefulness of this low-cost ART adherence monitoring tool in this setting.
确定在塞内加尔达喀尔法恩教学医院参加国家抗逆转录病毒治疗（ART）项目的HIV感染成人中，最佳ART依从性和病毒学失败（VLF）的患病率及相关因素。
2013年9月1日至2014年1月30日的横断面研究。
（1）通过依从性支持评估中心（CASE）指数评分（>10）评估最佳ART依从性，（2）VLF（HIV RNA>1000拷贝/ml）。使用敏感性（Se）、特异性（Sp）、阳性预测值（PPV）、阴性预测值（NPV）及相应的95%置信区间（CI）评估CASE指数评分的诊断准确性。进行多变量逻辑回归分析以确定与最佳依从性和VLF相关的独立因素。
98例接受ART的HIV感染患者中，68%为女性。年龄中位数（IQR）为42（20 - 50）岁。98例中有57例（60%）接受ART超过3年，大多数（88%）采用基于非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂（NNRTI）的一线ART方案。98例患者中有79例（80%）报告最佳ART依从性，84例中只有5例（5.9%）有记录的VLF。发生VLF的患者ART依从性欠佳的可能性显著更高（17.7%对2.9%；P = 0.02）。当使用HIV RNA>50拷贝/ml的VLF阈值时，CASE指数评分在Se（78.9%，95%CI：54.4 - 93.9%）、Sp（20.0%，95%CI：11.1 - 31.7）、PPV（22.4，95%CI：13.1 - 34.2%）和NPV（76.5%，95%CI：50.1 - 93.2）方面表现出最佳权衡。与VLF独立相关的因素为CASE指数评分<10（[调整后比值比（aOR）]=13.0，95%CI：1.1 - 147.9；P = 0.04）以及采用基于蛋白酶抑制剂（PI）的强化ART方案（[aOR]=27.0，95%CI：2.4 - 309.4；P = 0.008）。
在本研究人群中，高比例的HIV感染成人可实现最佳ART依从性。CASE指数评分与病毒学结果独立相关，支持该低成本ART依从性监测工具在此环境中的实用性。
