If women become clinically obese after long-term treatment, this could increase risks of adverse birth and child health outcomes. This analysis assessed long-term risks of adverse outcomes in pregnancy and child health from treatment-associated clinical obesity among pregnant women, using data from the ADVANCE trial.
 
Methods: In the ADVANCE trial treatment-naìˆve patients were randomised to TAF/FTC+DTG, TDF/FTC+DTG or TDF/FTC/EFV for 144 weeks. A systematic review analysed the association between pre-pregnancy obesity and adverse maternal and infant outcomes. The association between pre-pregnancy obesity and adverse outcomes in child health (ages 6-16) was also measured. Risk ratios using the Mantel-Haenzsel test with random-effects were calculated. Risk ratios of the pregnancy and child health outcomes were combined with treatment- associated obesity rates from ADVANCE to predict the number of women, infants and children who could experience adverse events in each arm at Week 144.
 
Results: After 144 weeks of treatment in the ADVANCE trial, the percentage of women with normal baseline BMI becoming clinically obese was 19% for TAF/ FTC+DTG, 5% for TDF/FTC+DTG, and 0% for TDF/FTC/EFV. From baseline to Week 144, the predicted increase of adverse maternal outcomes was 15% with TAF/ FTC+DTG versus 4% with TDF/FTC+DTG, whereas risk predictions for adverse infant outcomes were 12% and 3% in these two treatment groups. Similarly, the predicted risk of adverse outcomes in child health was 28% and 7% on TAF/ FTC+DTG and TDF/FTC+DTG, respectively. No additional adverse events were predicted for pregnant women treated with TDF/FTC/EFV.
 
Conclusion: Pre-conception weight gain on antiretrovirals could substantially increase adverse outcomes in pregnancy and child health. There are consistent associations between pre-pregnancy clinical obesity and higher risks of adverse maternal, infant and child health outcomes. For every 100 women becoming pregnant after three years of TAF/FTC+DTG treatment, this analysis predicted 18 additional adverse outcomes. New stopping rules may be required to switch women off TAF/FTC+DTG and similar combination treatments, to lessen these risks.
