This study aimed at assessing adherence, effectiveness, and safety of DTG-based HAART regimens among HIV-infected children and adolescents in Tanzania. This was a single-center prospective cohort study, conducted at the pediatric HIV Clinic in Mbeya, Tanzania. A binary logistic regression model was used to determine predictors of undetectable viral load at week 24. The results were significant when P-value was <0.05. A total of 200 patients were enrolled with the majority (85.5%) being treatment experienced. High adherence levels (71%) were observed using the pharmacy refill method. At week 24, the overall proportion of patients with undetectable viral load was 70.2%. The predictors of undetectable viral load were age, World Health Organization (WHO) clinical stage, baseline VL and adherence to pharmacy refill. The majority of patients attained undetectable viral load 6 months after using DTG based regimen. DTG-based regimens were generally safe with few ADEs reported.
本研究旨在评估坦桑尼亚感染艾滋病毒的儿童和青少年中基于 DTG 的 HAART 方案的依从性、疗效和安全性。这是一项单中心前瞻性队列研究，在坦桑尼亚姆贝亚的儿科 HIV 诊所进行。使用二元逻辑回归模型来确定在第 24 周时病毒载量不可检测的预测因素。当 P 值 <0.05 时，结果具有统计学意义。共有 200 名患者入组，其中大多数（85.5%）为治疗经验丰富者。使用药房补药方法观察到较高的依从性水平（71%）。在第 24 周，总体上有 70.2%的患者病毒载量不可检测。病毒载量不可检测的预测因素是年龄、世界卫生组织（WHO）临床分期、基线 VL 和对药房补药的依从性。大多数患者在使用基于 DTG 的方案后 6 个月达到了不可检测的病毒载量。基于 DTG 的方案通常是安全的，报告的不良药物反应（ADEs）很少。
