Poor quality of life and incomplete self-reported adherence predict second-line ART virological failure in resource-limited settings.


ABSTRACT: We evaluated health-related quality of life (QoL) and self-reported incomplete adherence as predictors of early second-line antiretroviral (ART) virological failure (VF). ACTG A5273 study participants completed the ACTG SF-21 measure which has 8 QoL domains. We used exact logistic regression to assess the association of QoL at baseline and week 4 with early VF adjusted for self-reported adherence. Of 500 individuals (51% women, median age 39 years) in this analysis, 79% and 75% self-reported complete adherence (no missing doses in the past month) at weeks 4 and 24, respectively. Early VF was experienced by 7% and more common among those who self-reported incomplete adherence. Participants with low week 4 QoL scores had higher rates of early VF than participants with high scores. After adjusting for self-reported adherence at week 4, VL and CD4 at baseline, cognitive functioning, pain and mental health domains were significantly associated with subsequent early VF. In this post-hoc analysis, poorer QoL adds to self-reported incomplete adherence after 4 weeks of second-line ART in predicting VF at week 24. Evaluation is needed to assess whether individuals with poorer QoL might be targeted for greater support to reduce risk of VF.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01352715.
