Associations between change in BMI and the risk of hypertension and dyslipidaemia in people receiving integrase strand-transfer inhibitors, tenofovir alafenamide, or both compared with other contemporary antiretroviral regimens: a multicentre, prospective observational study from the RESPOND consortium cohorts. Lancet HIV 2024; 11:e321-e332. [PMID: 38621392 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3018(23)00328-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Integrase strand-transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) and tenofovir alafenamide have been associated with weight gain in several clinical trials and observational cohorts. However, whether weight gain associated with INSTIs and tenofovir alafenamide confers a higher risk of weight-related clinical events is unclear. We aimed to assess whether changes in BMI differentially increase hypertension or dyslipidaemia risk in people with HIV receiving INSTIs, tenofovir alafenamide, or both versus other contemporary regimens. METHODS This multicentre, prospective observational study analysed prospective data from RESPOND, an international consortium of HIV cohorts for which recruitment began in 2017 and is still ongoing from HIV clinics and hospitals in 37 European countries and Australia. Participants were eligible if they were aged 18 years or older, receiving INSTI-containing antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens or a contemporary non-INSTI, did not have hypertension or dyslipidaemia at baseline, and had baseline and at least two follow-up BMI, lipid, and blood pressure measurements. We excluded participants without baseline CD4 or HIV RNA results and those receiving non-ART medications associated with weight changes, including antipsychotics and mood stabilisers, corticosteroids, insulin, and insulin secretagogues. They were followed up from baseline until the earliest hypertension or dyslipidaemia event, their last visit, or Dec 31, 2021, whichever was earlier. The primary outcomes were incidence of hypertension and dyslipidaemia, for which we used multivariable Poisson regression adjusted for time-updated BMI to determine unadjusted and adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of hypertension and dyslipidaemia in people receiving INSTIs, tenofovir alafenamide, or both, and tested for interaction between time-updated ART regimen and BMI. FINDINGS Of the 35 941 RESPOND participants, 9704 (7327 [75·5 %] male and 2377 [24·5%] female) were included in the hypertension analysis and 5231 (3796 [72·6%] male and 1435 [27·4%] female) were included in the dyslipidaemia analysis. In the univariable model, hypertension was more common in individuals receiving an INSTI with tenofovir alafenamide (IRR 1·70, 95% CI 1·54-1·88) or an INSTI without tenofovir alafenamide (1·41, 1·30-1·53) compared with those receiving neither INSTIs nor tenofovir alafenamide. Adjustment for time-updated BMI and confounders attenuated risk in participants receiving an INSTI with (IRR 1·48, 1·31-1·68) or without (1·25, 1·13-1·39) tenofovir alafenamide. Similarly, dyslipidaemia was more common in participants using tenofovir alafenamide with an INSTI (IRR 1·24, 1·10-1·40) and tenofovir alafenamide alone (1·22, 1·03-1·44) than in participants using neither INSTI nor tenofovir alafenamide. Adjustment for BMI and confounders attenuated the risk in participants receiving tenofovir alafenamide with an INSTI (adjusted IRR 1·21, 1·07-1·37), whereas the risk in those receiving tenofovir alafenamide alone became non-significant (1·15, 0·96-1·38). The associations between increasing BMI and risk of hypertension and dyslipidaemia did not differ between participants receiving different ART regimens (pinteraction=0·46 for hypertension; pinteraction=0·31 for dyslipidaemia). INTERPRETATION Although residual confounding cannot be entirely excluded, the use of INSTIs was associated with incident hypertension, and the use of tenofovir alafenamide was associated with dyslipidaemia, with the latter association partly mediated by weight gain. These results reiterate the need for hypertension and dyslipidaemia screening in people with HIV.

Abstract
Rapid advances in the potency, safety, and availability of modern HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) have yielded a near-normal life expectancy for most people living with HIV (PLWH). Ironically, considering the history of HIV/AIDS (initially called "slim disease" because of associated weight loss), the latest dilemma faced by many people starting HIV therapy is weight gain and obesity, particularly Black people, women, and those who commenced treatment with advanced immunodeficiency. We review the pathophysiology and implications of weight gain among PLWH on ART and discuss why this phenomenon was recognized only recently, despite the availability of effective therapy for nearly 30 years. We comprehensively explore the theories of the causes, from initial speculation that weight gain was simply a return to health for people recovering from wasting to comparative effects of newer regimens vs prior toxic agents, to direct effects of agents on mitochondrial function. We then discuss the implications of weight gain on modern ART, particularly concomitant effects on lipids, glucose metabolism, and inflammatory markers. Finally, we discuss intervention options for PLWH and obesity, from the limitations of switching ART regimens or specific agents within regimens, weight-gain mitigation strategies, and potential hope in access to emerging antiobesity agents, which are yet to be evaluated in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW HIV epidemics are increasing in many emerging economy countries, whilst the very process of 'economic emergence' is obesogenic. Annual deaths related to obesity and overweight are now four times more than for HIV globally. We describe the intersections between HIV and obesity in emerging economies, and highlight potential mitigation options, including antiobesity medications (AOMs), which are safe and effective, but inaccessibly priced. RECENT FINDINGS We summarize what is known about weight-change in HIV and review strategies including public health policies and clinical interventions for emerging economy countries to fight obesity. We also illustrate the landscape from a selection of 'emerging economy' countries with available data from UNAIDS, World Bank and World Obesity Federation to visualize the developing challenges faced. AOM course prices are high in many countries, but could be manufactured and sold profitably for much less. We present lessons from the early HIV/AIDS movements on how to improve access and pricing for AOMs for people with HIV with obesity in emerging economy countries. SUMMARY We illustrate the complex intersectional issues that 'emerging economy countries' may experience, with a 'double burden' of increasing HIV and obesity epidemics, and explore potential mitigation options, focussing on AOM access and pricing.

Changing Prevalence of AIDS and Non-AIDS-Defining Cancers in an Incident Cohort of People Living with HIV over 28 Years. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 16:70. [PMID: 38201498 PMCID: PMC10777974 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16010070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction and evolution of antiretrovirals has changed the panorama of comorbidities in people living with HIV (PLWH) by reducing the risk of AIDS-defining cancers (ADC). By contrast, due to ageing and persistent inflammation, the prevalence and incidence of non-AIDS-defining cancers have significantly increased. Therefore, we aimed at describing cancer epidemiology in our cohort over 28 years. METHODS We retrospectively included all PLWH in our clinic who ever developed cancers, considering features of ADC and NADC, from January 1996 to March 2023. Demographic, clinical characteristics, and survival were analyzed, comparing three observation periods (1996-2003, 2004-2013, and 2014-2023). RESULTS A total of 289 PLWH developed 308 cancers over the study period; 77.9% were male, the mean age was 49.6 years (SD 12.2), and 57.4% PLWH developed NADC and 41.5% ADC. Kaposi (21.8%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (20.1%) were the most frequent cancers. Age at the time of cancer diagnosis significantly increased over time (41.6 years in the first period vs. 54.4 years in the third period, p < 0.001). In the first period compared with the last, a simultaneous diagnosis of HIV infection and cancer occurred in a higher proportion of persons (42.7 vs. 15.3, p < 0.001). While viro-immunological control at cancer diagnosis significantly improved over time, the proportions of cancer progression/remission remained stable. Overall survival significantly increased, but this trend was not confirmed for ADC. CONCLUSIONS The probability of survival for ADC did not decrease as significantly as the number of ADC diagnoses over time. By contrast, NADC dramatically increased, in line with epidemiological studies and other literature data. The changing patterns of malignancies from ADC to NADC underline the need for public health interventions and the fostering of screening programs aimed at the prevention and early detection of NADC in PLWH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research suggests that integrase strand transferase inhibitor use can lead to weight gain, and data from sub-Saharan countries are limited. This study investigated changes in weight in Namibians switched from tenofovir DF/emtricitabine/efavirenz (TEE) to tenofovir DF/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD). METHODS Longitudinal, retrospective, and quantitative study from outpatient records of Namibians living with HIV/AIDS switched from efavirenz-to dolutegravir-based regimen at four clinics. A linear mixed effects model predicting weight 6 months prior to the switch, time of the switch, and at 6, 12-, and 18-months post-switch was run. A second analysis comparing change in weights between males and females was also run. RESULTS 242 patients switched from TEE to TLD. Compared to patient weight at the time of the switch, weights were significantly higher at 6 (+0.9 kg, p = 0.004), 12 (+1.7 kg, p < 0.001), and 18 months (+1.4 kg, p < 0.001) post-switch. There was no significant weight change for males, but females had a significant weight gain at 12 (+1.58 kg, p = 0.012) and 18 months (+1.49 kg, p = 0.024) post switch. CONCLUSIONS Females living with HIV in Namibia gain weight when switched from TEE to TLD. Clinical implications on the development of cardiometabolic complications is unclear and mechanisms by which the weight gain occurs are unknown.

CLINICOECONOMICS AND OUTCOMES RESEARCH 2023; 15:579-591.

Abstract
Introduction Integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based regimens (eg, containing dolutegravir [DTG]) are associated with weight/body mass index (BMI) increases among people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). Assessing antiretroviral therapy (ART)-related weight/BMI changes is challenging, as PLWH may experience return-to-health weight gain as a result of viral suppression. This retrospective, longitudinal real-world study compared weight/BMI outcomes among overweight/obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2; thus excluding return-to-health weight/BMI changes), treatment-naïve PLWH who initiated darunavir (DRV)/cobicistat (c)/emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) or DTG + FTC/TAF. Methods Treatment-naïve PLWH with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 who initiated DRV/c/FTC/TAF or DTG + FTC/TAF (index date) had ≥12 months of baseline observation and ≥1 weight/BMI measurement in baseline and post-index periods in the Symphony Health IDV® database (07/17/2017-12/31/2021) were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance differences in baseline characteristics between cohorts. On-treatment time-to-weight/BMI increases ≥5% were compared between cohorts using weighted adjusted Cox models. Results Post-IPTW, 76 overweight/obese DRV/c/FTC/TAF-treated (mean age = 51.2 years, 30.7% female, 35.6% Black, mean baseline BMI = 33.2 kg/m2) and 88 overweight/obese DTG + FTC/TAF-treated PLWH (mean age = 51.5 years, 31.4% female, 31.4% Black, mean baseline BMI = 32.7 kg/m2) were included. The median [interquartile range] time from ART initiation to weight/BMI increase ≥5% was shorter for the DTG + FTC/TAF cohort (21.8 [9.9, 32.3] months) than the DRV/c/FTC/TAF cohort (median and interquartile times not reached; Kaplan-Meier rate at 21.8 months = 20.8%). Over the entire follow-up, overweight/obese PLWH initiating DTG + FTC/TAF had a more than twofold greater risk of experiencing weight/BMI increase ≥5% compared to those initiating DRV/c/FTC/TAF (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]=2.43 [1.02; 7.04]; p = 0.036). Conclusion Overweight/obese PLWH who initiated DTG + FTC/TAF had significantly greater risk of weight/BMI increase ≥5% compared to similar PLWH who initiated DRV/c/FTC/TAF and had shorter time-to-weight/BMI increase ≥5%, suggesting a need for additional monitoring to assess the risk of weight gain-related cardiometabolic disease.

Abstract
Despite cancer being a leading comorbidity amongst individuals with HIV, there are limited data assessing cancer trends across different antiretroviral therapy (ART)-eras. We calculated age-standardised cancer incidence rates (IRs) from 2006-2021 in two international cohort collaborations (D:A:D and RESPOND). Poisson regression was used to assess temporal trends, adjusted for potential confounders. Amongst 64,937 individuals (31% ART-naïve at baseline) and 490,376 total person-years of follow-up (PYFU), there were 3763 incident cancers (IR 7.7/1000 PYFU [95% CI 7.4, 7.9]): 950 AIDS-defining cancers (ADCs), 2813 non-ADCs, 1677 infection-related cancers, 1372 smoking-related cancers, and 719 BMI-related cancers (groups were not mutually exclusive). Age-standardised IRs for overall cancer remained fairly constant over time (8.22/1000 PYFU [7.52, 8.97] in 2006-2007, 7.54 [6.59, 8.59] in 2020-2021). The incidence of ADCs (3.23 [2.79, 3.72], 0.99 [0.67, 1.42]) and infection-related cancers (4.83 [4.2, 5.41], 2.43 [1.90, 3.05]) decreased over time, whilst the incidence of non-ADCs (4.99 [4.44, 5.58], 6.55 [5.67, 7.53]), smoking-related cancers (2.38 [2.01, 2.79], 3.25 [2.63-3.96]), and BMI-related cancers (1.07 [0.83, 1.37], 1.88 [1.42, 2.44]) increased. Trends were similar after adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, HIV-related factors, and ART use. These results highlight the need for better prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of NADCs, smoking-, and BMI-related cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent reports of excessive weight gain in people with HIV (PWH) have raised increasing concerns on the possible increase of diabetes mellitus (DM) risk in course of integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) treatment. In this study, we aimed at describing DM incidence in course of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and identifying the factors associated with new DM onset. DESIGN Observational prospective SCOLTA (Surveillance Cohort Long-Term Toxicity Antiretrovirals) cohort. METHODS All people enrolled in SCOLTA between January 2003 and November 2021 were included. Multivariable Cox regression yielded adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident DM. RESULTS 4366 PWH were included, 72.6% male, with mean age 45.6 years, and median CD4 + 460 [interquartile range (IQR) 256-710] cells/mm 3 cells/mm 3 . During the follow up, 120 incident cases of DM occurred (1.26 cases/100 person year-follow up, 95% CI 1.05-1.50).Baseline weight, but not the amount of weight gain, resulted significantly correlated to diabetes incidence (aHR by 1 kg 1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.04), as well as older age (aHR 1.03 by 1 year; 95% CI 1.01-1.06), being ART-experienced with detectable HIV RNA at study entry (aHR 2.27, 95% CI 1.48-3.49), having untreated high blood pressure (aHR 2.90; 95% CI 1.30-6.45) and baseline blood glucose >100 mg/dl (aHR 5.47; 95% CI 3.82-7.85). Neither the INSTI class nor individual antiretrovirals were associated with an increased risk of DM. CONCLUSIONS Baseline weight, but not weight gain or the ART class, was associated with incident DM in this observational cohort.

Changes in body mass index, weight, and waist-to-hip ratio over five years in HIV-positive individuals in the HIV Heart Aging Study compared to the general population. Infection 2023:10.1007/s15010-023-02009-8. [PMID: 36930373 DOI: 10.1007/s15010-023-02009-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Overweight and obesity have increased in people living with HIV (PLH). Our study evaluated weight, body-mass-index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) change over 5 years of follow-up in PLH compared to the general population. METHODS HIV-positive participants in the HIV Heart Aging (HIVH) study were matched 1:2 by age and sex with HIV-negative controls of the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall (HNR) study. Both studies were recruited in the German Ruhr area. The association between HIV and weight, BMI, and WHR changes was examined using linear regression. Regression models were adjusted for parameters potentially affecting weight gain. RESULTS The matched HIVH and HNR participants (N = 585 and N = 1170, respectively; 14.7% females) had a mean age of 55 years at baseline. Despite the lower baseline weight (- 6 kg, 95% CI - 7.46 to - 4.59), the linear regression showed greater absolute and relative weight and BMI increases after 5 years in HIVH compared to HNR. Adjusting the linear regression models for smoking amplified that HIVH had a higher absolute and relative weight difference of 0.7 kg or ~ 1% compared to HNR after 5 years (95% Cl 0.1 to 1.3 and 0.2 to 1.6, respectively). Adjusting for HDL, LDL, systolic blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus did not affect the results. CONCLUSIONS PLH had lower weight than the general population at baseline and after 5 years, but experienced greater increases in body weight after 5 years. WHR change after 5 years was lower in PLH compared to the general population, despite a higher WHR at baseline.

Boaz M, Kaufman-Shriqui V. Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Malnutrition and In-Hospital Death in Adults Hospitalized with COVID-19. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15051298. [PMID: 36904295 PMCID: PMC10005527 DOI: 10.3390/nu15051298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition and increased malnutrition risk are frequently identified in hospitalized adults. The increase in hospitalization rates during the COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by the documentation of adverse hospitalization outcomes in the presence of certain co-morbidities, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. It was not clear whether the presence of malnutrition increased in-hospital death in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. OBJECTIVES To estimate the effect of malnutrition on in-hospital mortality in adults hospitalized with COVID-19; and secondarily, to estimate the prevalence of malnutrition in adults hospitalized with malnutrition during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Collaboration databases were queried using the search terms malnutrition and COVID-19 and hospitalized adults and mortality. Studies were reviewed using the 14-question Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs (QATSDD) (questions appropriate for quantitative studies). Author names; date of publication; country; sample size; malnutrition prevalence; malnutrition screening/diagnostic method; number of deaths in malnourished patients; and number of deaths in adequately nourished patients were extracted. Data were analyzed using MedCalc software v20.210 (Ostend, Belgium). The Q and I2 tests were calculated; a forest plot was generated, and the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using the random effects model. RESULTS Of the 90 studies identified, 12 were finally included in the meta-analysis. In the random effects model, malnutrition or increased malnutrition risk increased odds of in-hospital death by more than three-fold: OR 3.43 (95% CI 2.549-4.60), p < 0.001. The pooled prevalence estimate for malnutrition or increased malnutrition risk was 52.61% (95% CI 29.50-75.14%). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS It is clear that malnutrition is an ominous prognostic sign in patients hospitalized with COVID. This meta-analysis, which included studies from nine countries on four continents with data from 354,332 patients, is generalizable.

Limited Weight Impact After Switching From Boosted Protease Inhibitors to Dolutegravir in Persons With Human Immunodeficiency Virus With High Cardiovascular Risk: A Post Hoc Analysis of the 96-Week NEAT-022 Randomized Trial. Clin Infect Dis 2023; 76:861-870. [PMID: 36259527 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciac827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the NEAT022 trial, virologically suppressed persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at high cardiovascular risk switching from protease inhibitors to dolutegravir either immediately (DTG-I) or after 48 weeks (DTG-D) showed noninferior virological suppression and significant lipid and cardiovascular disease risk reductions on switching to dolutegravir relative to continuing protease inhibitors. METHODS In post hoc analysis, major endpoints were 48-week and 96-week weight and body mass index (BMI) changes. Factors associated with weight/BMI changes within the first 48 weeks of DTG exposure, proportion of participants by category of percentage weight change, proportions of BMI categories over time, and impact on metabolic outcomes were also assessed. RESULTS Between May 2014 and November 2015, 204 (DTG-I) and 208 (DTG-D) participants were included. Weight significantly increased (mean, +0.810 kg DTG-I arm, and +0.979 kg DTG-D arm) in the first 48 weeks postswitch, but remained stable from 48 to 96 weeks in DTG-I arm. Switching from darunavir, White race, total to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio <3.7, and normal/underweight BMI were independently associated with higher weight/BMI gains. The proportion of participants with ≥5% weight change increased similarly in both arms over time. The proportions of BMI categories, use of lipid-lowering drugs, diabetes and/or use of antidiabetic agents, and hypertension and/or use of antihypertensive agents did not change within or between arms at 48 and 96 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Switching from protease inhibitors to dolutegravir in persons with HIV with high cardiovascular risk led to modest weight gain limited to the first 48 weeks, which involved preferentially normal-weight or underweight persons and was not associated with negative metabolic outcomes.
