PURPOSE: A major global public health challenge is the continuance of new pediatric HIV infections primarily because of mother to child transmission of HIV occurring mainly in sub-Saharan African countries. The purpose of this study was to examine antiretroviral therapy (ART) refill adherence and its determinants among pregnant women living with HIV in Nigeria. METHODS: A retrospective review of pharmacy refill records was undertaken to examine adherence data on 275 pregnant women undergoing ART in 4 high-volume HIV treatment sites in Nigeria. A pharmacy refill adherence measure was used to assess medication refill behavior of pregnant women living with HIV who had received an ART refill during a period of 3 months. Medication-based ART refill adherence was categorized as % adherence (100% adherence) or % nonadherence (<100% adherence) to the ART refill scheduled dates. Refill appointments were scheduled on a 28-day cycle. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. FINDINGS: Of the 275 women, 59.3% (95% CI, 53.1%-65.5%) were adherent to their ART refill schedule. Women who initiated ART during the third trimester of their current pregnancy had the lowest adherence rate of 30.8% (95% CI, 7.7%-53.8%) compared with women who commenced ART before conception or during the first or second trimester. The availability of a treatment support person was significantly associated with ART refill adherence. The odds of medication-based refill adherence were 2.9 times higher for participants who had a treatment support person (odds ratio = 2.9; 95% CI, 1.6-5.2; p = 0.001). IMPLICATIONS: Results indicate that having a treatment support person could contribute to improving ART adherence in pregnant women living in Nigeria.
目的:新的小儿 HIV 感染持续存在是一个主要的全球公共卫生挑战,主要是因为 HIV 主要在撒哈拉以南非洲国家通过母婴传播。本研究的目的是检验尼日利亚感染 HIV 的孕妇接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)时的药物续配依从性及其决定因素。
方法:我们对药房续配记录进行了回顾性审查,以检验在尼日利亚 4 个大容量 HIV 治疗点接受 ART 的 275 名孕妇的依从性数据。我们使用一种药房续配依从性措施来评估接受 ART 续配的 HIV 感染孕妇的药物续配行为,这些孕妇在 3 个月期间进行了 ART 续配。药物为基础的 ART 续配依从性被分为 % 依从(100% 依从)或 % 不依从(<100% 依从),即是否按照 ART 续配日期进行药物续配。续配预约安排在 28 天的周期内。我们进行了多变量逻辑回归分析。
结果:在 275 名女性中,59.3%(95%CI,53.1%-65.5%)的女性按照 ART 续配时间表进行了药物续配。与那些在怀孕前或怀孕的第一或第二孕期开始接受 ART 的女性相比,当前孕期的第三个孕期开始接受 ART 的女性的依从率最低,为 30.8%(95%CI,7.7%-53.8%)。有治疗支持人员与 ART 续配依从性显著相关。有治疗支持人员的参与者的药物续配依从性的可能性是没有治疗支持人员的参与者的 2.9 倍(比值比=2.9;95%CI,1.6-5.2;p=0.001)。
结论:结果表明,在尼日利亚,有治疗支持人员可能有助于提高感染 HIV 的孕妇的 ART 依从性。
