Resumo: The latest Brazilian guideline recommended the reduction of routine CD4+ T cell counts for the monitoring of patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) under combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of monitoring response to cART in HIV-1 infection using routine viral load at shorter intervals and CD4+ T cell count at longer intervals. CD4+ T cell counts and HIV-1 viral load were evaluated in 1,906 HIV-1-infected patients under cART during a three-year follow-up. Patients were stratified as sustained, non-sustained and non-responders. The proportion of patients who showed a CD4+ T > 350cells/µL at study entry among those with sustained, non-sustained and non-responders to cART and who remained with values above this threshold during follow-up was 94.1%, 81.8% and 71.9%, respectively. HIV-1-infected patients who are sustained virologic responders and have initial CD4+ T cell counts > 350cells/µL showed a higher chance of maintaining the counts of these cells above this threshold during follow-up than those presenting CD4+ T ≤ 350cells/µL (OR = 39.9; 95%CI: 26.5-60.2; p < 0.001). This study showed that HIV-1-infected patients who had sustained virologic response and initial CD4+ T > 350cells/µL were more likely to maintain CD4+ T cell counts above this threshold during the next three-year follow-up. This result underscores that the evaluation of CD4+ T cell counts in longer intervals does not impair the safety of monitoring cART response when routine viral load assessment is performed in HIV-1-infected patients with sustained virologic response.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la seguridad de la monitorización de la respuesta a la cART en una infección por VIH-1, usando rutinas de carga viral en intervalos más cortos y recuento celular CD4+ T en intervalos más largos. Se evaluaron el recuento celular CD4+ T y la carga viral VIH-1 en 1.906 pacientes infectados con VIH-1 y con cART durante un seguimiento que duró tres años. Los pacientes fueron estratificados como constantes, inconstantes y sin respuesta. La proporción de pacientes que mostraron CD4+ T > 350células/µL en el estudio entran dentro del grupo de los constantes, inconstantes y sin respuesta al cART, y quienes permanecieron con valores por encima de este umbral durante los seguimientos fueron 94,1%, 81,8% y 71,9%, respectivamente. Los pacientes infectados por VIH-1 que cuentan con la respuesta virológica constante y tienen un recuento inicial CD4+ T > 350células/µL mostraron una oportunidad más alta de mantener el recuento de estas células por encima del umbral durante los seguimientos, respecto a quienes presentaban CD4+ T células ≤ 350células/µL (OR = 39,9; IC95%: 26,5-60,2; p < 0,001). Este estudio expuso que los pacientes infectados por VIH-1, que habían tenido una respuesta virológica constante e inicial CD4+ T > 350células/µL, eran más propensos a mantener el recuento de células CD4+ T por encima de este umbral durante los tres años posteriores de seguimiento. Este resultado destaca que la evaluación del cómputo de células CD4+ T en intervalos más largos no obstaculiza la seguridad al realizar una monitorización en la respuesta a cART, cuando la evaluación de la carga viral rutinaria se realiza en pacientes infectados por VIH-1 con una respuesta virológica constante.O último consenso brasileiro recomenda reduzir a rotina de contagem de linfócitos T CD4+ para monitorar os pacientes com HIV-1 sob terapia antirretroviral combinada (TARV). O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a segurança do monitoramento à TARV na infecção pelo HIV-1, realizando a carga viral a intervalos mais curtos e a contagem de linfócitos T CD4+ a intervalos mais longos. Foram avaliadas a contagem de linfócitos T CD4+ e a carga viral do HIV-1 em 1.906 pacientes com HIV-1 em uso de TARV durante um seguimento de três anos. Os pacientes foram estratificados em: resposta sustentada, não sustentada e não respondedores. As proporções de pacientes com linfócitos T CD4+ > 350células/µL na linha de base do estudo entre de resposta sustentada, não sustentada e não respondedores à TARV e que permaneceram com valores acima desse limiar ao longo do seguimento foram 94,1%, 81,8% e 71,9%, respectivamente. Os pacientes com resposta virológica sustentada e que tinham contagem de T CD4+ > 350células/µL mostraram maior probabilidade de manter a contagem acima desse limiar durante o seguimento, quando comparados àqueles com T CD4+ ≤ 350células/µL (OR = 39,9; 95%CI: 26,5-60,2; p < 0,001). O estudo mostrou que pacientes HIV-1+ com resposta virológica sustentada e contagem de linfócitos T CD4+ > 350células/µL tinham maior probabilidade de manter a contagem de células T CD4+ acima desse limiar durante o seguimento de três anos subsequentes. O resultado corrobora que a contagem de linfócitos T CD4+ com intervalos mais longos não compromete a segurança do monitoramento da resposta à TARV quando a avaliação da carga viral é feita de rotina em pacientes HIV-1+ com resposta virológica sustentada.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2018-10-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6791Reports in Public Health; Vol. 34 No. 10 (2018): OctoberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 34 n. 10 (2018): Outubro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6791/14672https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6791/14673Ingridt Hildegard VoglerDaniela Frizon AlfieriHeloisa Damazio Bruna GianjacomoElaine Regina Delicato de AlmeidaEdna Maria Vissoci Reicheinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:29:31Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/6791Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:07:46.213414Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
