Changing utilization of Stavudine (d4T) in HIV‐positive people in 2006–2013 in the EuroSIDA study

Abstract: d4T use has declined sharply since 2006 to low levels in most regions; however, a low but persistent level of d4T use remains in Eastern Europe, where new d4T initiations post 2006 are also more common. The reasons for the regional differences may be multifactorial, but it is important to ensure that all clinicians treating HIV-positive patients are aware of the potential harmful effects associated with d4T.

“…Characteristics A total of 45 544 individuals were followed in D:A:D since 1 February 2004 and were included in the analysis; these individuals were predominantly white (49.6%), men (73.5%) and had acquired HIV through sex between men, MSM (44.5%) ( Table 1). The median age was 40 [interquartile range (IQR) [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] years at baseline and the median CD4 þ cell count was 434 (IQR 282-621) cells/ml. During a median follow-up of years, a total of 319 ESLD/HCC events occurred (incidence rate 1.01/1000 PYFU, 95% confidence interval 0.90-1.12) of which 209 were ESLD and 110 HCC events.…”

“…In 2010, the WHO launched an initiative aiming to reduce the use of d4T. However, many individuals in resource-limited settings continue to use d-drugs because of their widespread availability and low cost; as such, an estimated 1.1 million individuals still initiated a d4T-based first-line antiretroviral regimen in 2011 [35,36].…”

“…Monitoring the usage and efficacy of ART is central to EuroSIDA's work, alongside surveillance of long-term adverse events [19]. EuroSIDA started to collect data on adverse events in 1998 and information on non-AIDS events have been routinely collected since 2001.…”

“…Early HIV diagnosis and treatment are pivotal to maximizing individual and public health benefits of antiretroviral treatment (ART) [ 1 , 2 ]. Despite increased focus on testing and linkage to care in recent years [ 3 ], across Europe, an estimated 40–60% of people do not present for HIV care until their CD4 cell count has decreased below 350 cells/mm3 or they have experienced an AIDS defining disease [ 4 – 6 ]. These late presenters [ 7 ] suffer individual health consequences in terms of high morbidity and mortality, especially during the first year after testing HIV-positive [ 8 10 ].…”
