Polypharmacy for multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) poses an increasing challenge in people with HIV (PWH). This research explores medication adherence in PWH with MCCs before and during COVID-19.

Medical and pharmacy records of a continuously enrolled cohort (September 2018-September 2021) of adult PWH were used. To estimate medication adherence, monthly proportion of days covered (PDC) was measured individually for antiretrovirals (ARVs), diabetes medications (DMs), renin-angiotensin antagonists (RASMs), and statins (SMs) and combined into composite measures (CMs) with and without ARVs. Descriptive statistics, time-series models, and multivariable population-averaged panel general estimating equations were used to profile trends, effects, and factors associated with adherence.
The cohort (n = 543) was predominantly 51-64 years old (59.3%), Black (73.1%), male (69.2%), and commercially insured (65.4%). Two-thirds (63.7%) of patients were taking medications in 2 medication groups (ie, ARVs and either DMs, RASMs, or SMs), 28.9% were taking medications in 3 medication groups, and 7.4% were taking medications in all 4 medication groups. Overall, PDC for CMs without ARVs was 77.2% and 70.2% with ARVs. After March 2020, negative monthly trends in PDC were observed for CMs without ARVs (β = -0.1%, P = 0.003) and with ARVs (β = -0.3%, P = 0.001). For CMs with ARVs, Black race (aOR = 0.5; P < 0.001; ref: White) and taking medications for 3 medication groups (aOR = 0.8; P < 0.02; ref: 2) were associated with lower adherence.
Decreasing medication adherence trends were observed during the COVID-19 pandemic with variations among population subgroups. Opportunity exists to improve medication adherence for non-White populations and those taking medications for MCCs beyond ARVs.
多种慢性疾病(MCCs)的多药治疗对艾滋病毒感染者(PWH)构成了日益严峻的挑战。本研究探讨了 COVID-19 之前和期间 PWH 合并 MCC 时的药物依从性。

使用连续入组队列(2018 年 9 月至 2021 年 9 月)的成年 PWH 的医疗和药房记录。为了估计药物依从性,分别测量抗逆转录病毒药物(ARVs)、糖尿病药物(DMs)、肾素-血管紧张素拮抗剂(RASMs)和他汀类药物(SMs)的每月比例天数覆盖(PDC),并组合成包含和不包含 ARVs 的综合指标(CMs)。使用描述性统计、时间序列模型和多变量人群平均面板广义估计方程来描述趋势、影响和与依从性相关的因素。
队列(n=543)主要为 51-64 岁(59.3%)、黑人(73.1%)、男性(69.2%)和商业保险(65.4%)。三分之二(63.7%)的患者服用两种药物组的药物(即 ARVs 和 DMs、RASMs 或 SMs 之一),28.9%的患者服用三种药物组的药物,7.4%的患者服用所有四种药物组的药物。总体而言,不包含 ARVs 的 CMs 的 PDC 为 77.2%,包含 ARVs 的 PDC 为 70.2%。2020 年 3 月后,观察到不包含 ARVs 的 CMs 的 PDC 呈每月负向趋势(β=-0.1%,P=0.003)和包含 ARVs 的 CMs 的 PDC 呈每月负向趋势(β=-0.3%,P=0.001)。对于包含 ARVs 的 CMs,黑人种族(优势比[OR]=0.5;P<0.001;参考:白人)和服用三种药物组的药物(OR=0.8;P<0.02;参考:2)与较低的依从性相关。
在 COVID-19 大流行期间,观察到药物依从性呈下降趋势,人群亚组之间存在差异。为非白人人群和服用 ARVs 以外的 MCC 药物的人群改善药物依从性提供了机会。
