  Switch to Dolutegravir Noninferior to Continued PI in Older Group With Heart Risk - (08/04/17)
 
(NEAT-022) At 48 weeks total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol all rose slightly in the PI group while falling in the dolutegravir group, and between-group differences were all statistically significant. The total-to-HDL ratio fell 7% in the dolutegravir arm and rose 0.4% in the PI arm (P < 0.001). Serious adverse event rates did not differ significantly between study arms at 48 weeks.
 
Bone Mineral Density at the Hip Declines Twice as Quickly Among HIV-Infected Women than Men - (08/14/17) ....."The majority of our study population were less than 50 years old, and only 15% of female participants were menopausal at baseline. Thus, with aging, the rate of BMD decline among HIV-infected women is expected to be even more pronounced.....Among men, neither lumbar spine nor femoral neck BMD was associated with HCV....Among women: metabolic syndrome was associated with lower lumbar spine BMD (estimate -0.0193, SD 0.0061, p=0.0025)"

COMORBIDITIES IN PATIENTS LIVING WITH HIV (PLWHIV) COMPARED TO MATCHED NON HIV CONTROLS: AN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS USING A CLAIMS DATABASE IN FRANCE - (08/04/17)
 
Prevalence of Comorbidities and Impact of HIV and Comorbidities on Health Care Resource Utilization - (08/03/17)
....2-3 times more bone disease in HIV+ vs HIV-neg, 2-8 times more kidney disease in HIV, among people over 65 yrs bone disease is double that vs in HIV-neg and kidney disease is 8 times more prevalent among HIV+; total health care costs without ART are much higher among HIV+ vs HIV-neg, with ARTs included total costs per year per patient were 9 times greater for HIV+ and 3 times higher when excluding ART costs. Health care services costs per patient per year were double for HIV+ vs HIV-neg because more services were used like office visits & hospitalizations, and also more ED use & ICU use.
