Description
Summary:Background: Limited data reporting real-world prevalence of integrase strand transfer inhibitor resistance (INSTI-R) in the USA are available because their recommendation as first-line treatment in 2017. Reported national surveillance data in the USA estimated INSTI-R to be 6.3% as of 2018. This article aims to describe estimated prevalence of INSTI-R within a single clinic network in Chicago, IL, USA, and identify risk factors for resistance and virological failure (VF). Methods: This was a retrospective, single-centre study of adults with HIV starting an INSTI-containing regimen between September 2017 and 2020. The primary endpoint was the difference in INSTI-R of the sample population compared with the national prevalence. Other outcomes included VF and documented INSTI-R mutations. Results: Of 948 participants screened, 321 were included. Eight people had baseline INSTI-R testing results available, of which five had INSTI-R at baseline for an estimated prevalence of 1.6%. This estimation was significantly less than the national estimated prevalence of 6.3% (p<0.001). VF occurred in 26 (7.8%) individuals. Because no participants acquired INSTI-R during the study period, investigators were unable to identify risk factors associated with the development of INSTI-R. People with high pre-treatment viral loads had 1.21 (95% CI 1.05-1.39) higher odds of VF. Conclusions: Amongst participants on INSTI-containing regimens, INSTI-R rates were estimated to be lower than the estimated national prevalence. Detectable preswitch viral loads were more associated with VF than undetectable viral loads.
