- Abstract
Objectives The aim of the study was to describe the ageing HIV-infected population (> 50 years old) and their current antiretroviral therapy ( ART), comorbidities and coprescriptions in France in 2013 and to compare them to the younger population. Methods A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database was performed. The characteristics of patients receiving ART as well as their current ART and their numbers of comorbidities and comedications at the censoring date (1 July 2013) were compared between patients ageing with HIV infection, patients who seroconverted while ageing, and younger patients. Results We compared 10 318 ageing patients [median age 56 years; 25% interquartile range ( IQR) 53-62 years] with 13 302 younger patients (median age 42 years; 25% IQR 36-47 years). The ageing patients were more frequently male than the younger patients (77 vs. 65%). Among the ageing patients, 7025 were diagnosed with HIV infection before 2000 and represented a distinct group, the 'experienced ageing' group, by comparison with the 'recently diagnosed ageing' group. Triple therapy containing a boosted protease inhibitor was used in 28.2% of the patients ( vs. 39% and 36% of the younger and 'recently diagnosed ageing' groups, respectively); a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in 27% ( vs. 33% and 38%, respectively), an integrase strand transfer inhibitor ( INSTI) in 9% ( vs. 7% and 9%, respectively), and another regimen (fewer or more than three drugs) in 35.8% ( vs. 21% and 16.5%, respectively). 'Experienced ageing' patients typically had one or more comorbidities (62.1%) and were receiving at least one comedication (71%). Central nervous system ( CNS) agents (prescribed in 44.6% of the 'experienced ageing' patients) and antilipidaemics (in 44.2%) were the most frequently prescribed comedications. INSTIs were used in 23% of the population and were used significantly more often in patients with comorbidities and coprescriptions. For all comparisons, P < 0.0001. Conclusions In ageing HIV-infected patients, especially those with a long history of HIV infection, comorbidities and coprescriptions are highly prevalent.
