  • Impact of antiretroviral shortages in HIV therapy and prevention uptake in Australia

    Chieu-Hoang Ly Luong, Lisa M Kalisch Ellett et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a major public health priority in Australia, with treatment and prevention efforts underpinned by access to government-subsidised antiretroviral therapy (ART) through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). In 2023-2024, multiple tenofovir with emtricitabine products used for HIV treatment and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) were subject to national shortages, raising concerns about access and continui…

  • Non-adherence, discontinuation, and seroconversion among people on daily HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in Brazil

    Kennedy Crepalde Ribeiro, Maria Das Graças B Ceccato et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    The goal of this study was to evaluate characteristics associated with Pre-exposure Prophylaxis for HIV infection (PrEP) non-adherence or discontinuation in Brazil and assess the association between these outcomes and HIV seroconversion. We used linked national dispensing and pathology data to identify people aged 14+ years initiating PrEP in 2018. We estimated non-adherence using the proportion of days covered (PDC), defining non-adherence as PD…

  • Levels of adherence to contemporary antiretroviral regimens and the likelihood of viral suppression

    Vanessa Aracele Rodrigues, Maria Das Graças B Ceccato et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Levels of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) can affect the likelihood of viral suppression differentially among ART regimens. In this prospective cohort conducted in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, we included 354 individuals who initiated ART containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/lamivudine/efavirenz in fixed-dose combination (TDF/3TC/EFV) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/lamivudine associated with dolutegravir (TDF/3TC + DTG). Viral suppress…

  • Assessing the impact of implementing multiple adherence measures to antiretroviral therapy from dispensing data

    Open AccessJuliana De Oliveira Costa, Yalin Zhao et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Pharmacy dispensing data are useful for estimating adherence to therapy. Here, we implement multiple adherence measures to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and provide an online tool for visualising results. We conducted a cohort study for 2,042 people dispensed ART in Australia. We assessed adherence using the Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) within 360 days of follow-up as a continuous measure and dichotomised (PDC ≥80%). We defined a covered day a…

  • In-hospital outcomes by insurance type among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions for acute myocardial infarction in New South Wales public hospitals

    Open AccessJuliana De Oliveira Costa, Sidney A Pearson et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2023

    Our findings suggest patients undergoing PCI in Australian public hospitals with private health insurance experience lower in-hospital mortality compared with their publicly insured counterparts, but in-hospital complications are not related to patient health insurance status. Our findings are likely due to unmeasured confounding of broader patient selection, socioeconomic differences and pathways of care (e.g. access to emergency and ambulatory …

  • Does switching from multiple to single-tablet regimen containing the same antiretroviral drugs improve adherence? A group-based trajectory modeling analysis

    Simone Furtado Dos Santos, Celline Cardoso Almeida-Brasil et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART) in single-tablet regimens (STR) is a simplification strategy that can potentially improve medication adherence and clinical outcomes. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1206 patients using efavirenz, tenofovir and lamivudine in multiple-tablet regimen who switched to the STR containing the same active ingredients in a southeast metropolis in Brazil. We measured adherence using the proportion of …

  • Effectiveness of Maintenance Immunosuppression Therapies in a Matched-Pair Analysis Cohort of 16 Years of Renal Transplant in the Brazilian National Health System

    Open AccessRosângela Maria Gomes, Wallace Breno Barbosa et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    The maintenance of patients with renal transplant typically involves two or more drugs to prevent rejection and prolong graft survival. The calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) are the most commonly recommended medicines in combinations with others. While immunosuppressive treatment regimens are well established, there is insufficient long-term effectiveness data to help guide future management decisions. The study analyzes the effectiveness of treatment…

  • Health-related quality of life among HIV-infected patients initiating treatment in Brazil in the single-tablet regimen era

    Juliana De Oliveira Costa, Sidney A Pearson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multidimensional concept involving an individual's self-perception about how a disease or treatment impacts their daily life. In this study, we evaluated the HRQoL and factors associated with this outcome in 366 patients initiating combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.We measured HRQoL using the EuroQoL-5D 3 level (EQ-5D) and the HIV instrument of the World Health Organiza…

  • Which antiretroviral regimen is associated with higher adherence in Brazil? A comparison of single, multi, and dolutegravir-based regimens

    Open AccessTarsilla Spezialli Cardoso, Juliana De Oliveira Costa et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2019References: 30

    We evaluated adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and its associated factors according to the type of regimen in patients initiating treatment in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. We measured adherence using the eight items Morisky Therapeutic Adhesion Scale (MMAS-8) and compared the use of "backbone" tenofovir/lamivudine plus efavirenz one tablet once-daily (STR) or dolutegravir in multi-tablet once-daily (MTR-DTG)…
