Abstract
- [EN]: [Introduction]: Our aims were to investigate the adherence to national guidelines of initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the Spanish multicenter CoRIS cohort during the years 2010–2015, to identify the reasons for the prescription of nonrecommended treatments, and to explore the role of institutional constraints to guideline compliance. [Methods]: ART regimens were classified as recommended, alternative or nonrecommended according to the guidelines. Physicians were asked the reasons for prescribing nonrecommended regimens. Factors associated with the prescription of non recommended regimens were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. [Results]: During the study period, 586 (10.7%) of 5479 patients who started ART were given a regimen not recommended in the guidelines. The most frequent reasons for prescribing nonrecommended regimens were: enrolment in clinical trials (43.3%), comorbidities and/or interactions (10.2%), pregnancy (8.7%), and cost (7.7%). Among 37 participating centers, 16 (43%), treating 3561 patients, reported limitations related with the cost of ART, and 20 (54%), treating 1365 patients, reported restrictions for prescribing at least one recommended antiretroviral. In multivariable analysis, a higher risk of receiving nonrecommended regimens was associated with male gender, HIV acquisition by heterosexual transmission, low viral loads, initiation of treatment during the years 2011 to 2015, and initiation of treatment in a center with restricted access to at least one antiretroviral drug. [Conclusions]: Compliance to clinical guidelines was high. A high proportion of centres reported cost limitations for ART or restricted access to at least one recommended antiretroviral drug, with a significant impact on the choice of initial regimens.<br />[ES]: [Introducción]: Nuestros objetivos fueron investigar la adecuación del tratamiento antirretroviral (TAR) inicial a las guías nacionales en la cohorte multicéntrica española CoRIS durante los años 2010-2015, identificar las razones para la prescripción de pautas no recomendadas y estudiar la influencia de limitaciones institucionales en el cumplimiento de las guías. [Métodos]: Se clasificaron las pautas de TAR en recomendadas, alternativas o no recomendadas según las guías de GeSIDA/Plan Nacional sobre el sida. Se preguntaron las razones para haber prescrito pautas no recomendadas a los médicos prescriptores. Se evaluaron los factores asociados a la prescripción de pautas no recomendadas mediante regresión logística multivariable. [Resultados]: Durante el periodo de estudio 586 (10,7%) de 5.479 pacientes que iniciaron TAR recibieron una pauta no recomendada. Las razones más frecuentes para prescribir pautas no recomendadas fueron: participación en ensayo clínico (43,3%), comorbilidades y/o interacciones (10,2%), embarazo (8,7%) y coste (7,7%). Entre los 37 centros participantes 16 (43%), que incluían 3.561 pacientes, referían limitaciones en el coste del TAR y 20 (54%), que incluían 1.365 pacientes, referían restricciones para la prescripción de al menos un fármaco recomendado. En el análisis multivariable el riesgo de recibir una pauta no recomendada se asoció a ser varón, adquisición del VIH por vía heterosexual, carga viral baja, inicio del tratamiento durante los años 2011 a 2015 e inicio del tratamiento en un centro con acceso restringido al menos a un antirretroviral. [Conclusiones]: El cumplimiento de las guías de TAR fue elevado. Una alta proporción de centros refirieron limitaciones de coste para el TAR o acceso restringido al menos a uno de los fármacos antirretrovirales recomendados; esto último influyó en la elección de pautas no recomendadas.
