The newly formulated mouth rinse demonstrated short-term plaque-inhibitory activity. This was associated with a reduction in the total load of anaerobic subgingival microflora.
with a median of three (2-4) comorbidities and 26.7% polymedicated with a median of seven (6-9) drugs per patient. The most common chronic diseases were: anxiety/depression (45.8%), dyslipidaemia (32.5%), hypertension (20.8%) and psychiatric disorders (19.2%). Benzodiazepines (32.5%), vitamin D (31.7%), proton-pump inhibitors (22.5%), statins (20%), antidepressants (18.3%) and antipsychotics (15%) were the most common drugs prescribed.A total of 55 CSDIs were identified in 41 patients (34.2% of patients), of which 78.18% involved ARV drugs. Classes of drugs most involved in CSDIs were: pharmacokinetic enhancers (40%), protease inhibitors (38.18%), statins (25.45%), antipsychotics (25.45%) and antidepressants (14.54%). The risk of DRPs was high in 46.7% of patients. In statistical analysis (Mann-Whitney U test), the relationship between the number of comorbidities and the risk of DRPs and CSDIs was statistically significant (p<0.005) in both cases.
ConclusionThe results of the study demonstrate the aging of the HIV +population and the consequences that this entails: an increased risk of presenting DRPs as well as the risk of CSDIs. Due to this, a meticulous and multidisciplinary approach is necessary in this population in order to identify the most susceptible patients.
