This meta-analysis synthesized the proportion of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) who are adherent to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and factors moderating adherence. A systematic search was conducted of studies published through May 2020 using PubMed, PsycInfo, Cochrane, EMBASE, and CINAHL. Included studies reported the proportion of AYAs (mean age ≤ 29 years) who were PrEP adherent. PrEP adherence was meta-analyzed using random-effects models. Secondary analyses evaluated potential moderating variables. A total of 41 individual samples, from 29 studies, of 8,679 AYA (weighted average age = 23.8 years) were synthesized. The proportion of AYA who met study-defined thresholds for PrEP adherence was .64 (95% confidence interval .57-.71) across studies. Subgroup analyses revealed that adherence was lower in young cisgender women (.46) than young men who have sex with men (.65) and serodiscordant heterosexual couples (.98). Adherence was higher in studies initiated after 2012 (.70) than earlier studies (.47). No differences based on participant age, country, or strategies to promote adherence were found. Across published studies to date, 64% of AYA demonstrate adequate PrEP adherence. Findings can be used to guide PrEP adherence interventions and also provide directions for future research on PrEP among AYA.
这项荟萃分析综合了坚持暴露前预防(PrEP)的青少年和青年(AYA)的比例以及影响坚持情况的因素。通过使用PubMed、PsycInfo、Cochrane、EMBASE和CINAHL对截至2020年5月发表的研究进行了系统检索。纳入的研究报告了PrEP坚持者中AYA(平均年龄≤29岁)的比例。使用随机效应模型对PrEP坚持情况进行荟萃分析。二级分析评估了潜在的调节变量。共综合了来自29项研究的41个独立样本,涉及8679名AYA(加权平均年龄 = 23.8岁)。在各项研究中,达到研究定义的PrEP坚持阈值的AYA比例为0.64(95%置信区间0.57 - 0.71)。亚组分析显示,年轻的顺性别女性(0.46)的坚持率低于男男性行为者(0.65)和血清学不一致的异性恋伴侣(0.98)。2012年后启动的研究中的坚持率(0.70)高于早期研究(0.47)。未发现基于参与者年龄、国家或促进坚持的策略的差异。在迄今为止发表的各项研究中,64%的AYA表现出足够的PrEP坚持率。研究结果可用于指导PrEP坚持干预措施,并为未来关于AYA中PrEP的研究提供方向。
