Background: - Majority of patients on ART in LMIC still take stavudine(d4T)-containing regimens - Long-term toxicity in LMIC remains poorly described. • Methods: - ART program data from Sihanouk-Hospital-Center-of-Hope, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, launched March 2003. - Standardized screening for side-effects • Clinical diagnosis of lipodystrophy • Low threshold for d4T substitution - All adult patients initiating d4T-based HAART included in the analysis - Probabilities of "time to first treatment-limiting toxicity" related to d4T - Multivariate Cox regression modeling
Results: Risk factors neuropathy Older age (HR 1.53/10 years;95%CI: 1.33-1.76). Higher baseline CD4 counts (HR 0.82/100 cells/µL;95%CI: 0.70-0.95). Higher baseline body weight (HR 0.82; 95%CI: 0.70-0.95). Weight increase in the first six months (HR 0.73/5 kg;95%CI: 0.54-0.98). Risk factors for lactic acidosis Being on TB treatment at ART initiation (HR 5.39;95%CI: 1.66-17.49). A higher baseline body mass index (HR 1.18/kg/m2;95%CI: 1.06-1.32). Risk factors for lipodystrophy Female gender (HR 2.54;95%CI: 2.18-2.95). ART initiation with efavirenz (HR 1.32;95%CI: 1.12-1.57). Older age (HR 1.14/10 years;95%CI: 1.04-1.21). 4
LIMITATIONS Retrospective analysis of program data No validated case definitions CONCLUSION Significant long-term toxicities with d4T Lipodystrophy: major long-term side-effect Phasing out of stavudine !
