Estimating prevalence of accumulated HIV-1 drug resistance in a cohort of patients on antiretroviral therapy

Abstract: This method provides estimates for the proportion of treated patients in a cohort who harbour resistance on a given date, which are less likely to be affected by selection bias due to missing resistance data and will allow us to estimate prevalence of resistance to different drug classes at specific timepoints in HIV-infected populations on ART.

“…Other studies have examined predictors of resistance [8-10,21-23] and failure [24,25] in seroprevalent cohorts. Our finding that higher CD4 count at cART initiation was an independent predictor of risk of failure and drug resistance was supported by two of these studies [9,10,24].…”

“…No more new cases of MDR does not mean that resistance will disappear completely, as can be seen by several drugs that are still showing a high prevalence of resistance in 2012. 13 Resistance to the newest agents can emerge, resulting in the appearance of novel drug resistance mutations in the HIV-1 polymerase, integrase and envelope genes. 5 Moreover, as a consequence of ongoing transmission of drug resistance, newly infected patients may already have drug-resistant virus.…”

“…Nevertheless, the proportion of individuals with HIV RNA replication suppressed to ,50 copies/mL has increased continuously over the past decade [5,6]. Whether the emergence of HIV-1 drug resistance has been reduced by the same extent is uncertain and difficult to assess [7,8]. Incidence studies based on genotypic drug resistance test (GRT) data from clinical practice often struggle with limitations, namely, that patients subjected to GRTs may not be representative for all potentially eligible individuals or the whole population of HIV-infected, treated individuals [3,9].…”
